Hi,

you are right:

bullseye is Debian 11 resp OMV 6. EOL since July 2024. This is why you get the info "...Updating from such a repository cannot be done securely, and is therefore disabled etc". Consequently, no more updating possible. Seems you need to upgrade your OMV installation to OMV 8 (Synchrony) to get back a fully working system. There are scripts available in the forum for upgrading OMV 6 to 7 and afterwards 7 to 8.

Quote from kristofp

How can you do this from the GUI (omv8)? I don't even see _ssh for example in the 'groups' section

Pls have a close look in the user section and select it there for your corr. user: "_ssh" is available in OMV 8

Thanks, votdev, good to know. I will.

Solution from ryecoaaron in this thread:

RE: omv-upgrade error after update to 7.7.24

apt doesn't like an empty Packages file without a Release file. Do you still get the error after the following?

rm /var/cache/openmediavault/archives/Packages
apt-get update

If you delete the Release and Packages file, apt-get update will recreate them properly.

Anyone?

All,

I made a fresh OMV 7 installation today. All running as expected, besides the error messages I receive e.g. with omv-upgrade as my predecessor within this thread:

I tried all the hints in this thread (via OMVEXTRAS as well as omv-firstaid), but no luck. I have nothing like a dietpi installation here, just installed the Debian 12.12 netinst iso and took advantage of the installation script found on wiki.omv-extras.org.

Thanks in advance!

ryecoaaron fyi: I have made a server reboot, but the messages still appear with "omv-upgrade".

belierzz · Oct 20th 2025

All,

I made a new installation and installed the writecache plugin the first time (instead of flashmemory). So far, so good.

From apticron (as well as if performing omv-upgrade), I receive the following messages:

W: Problem unlinking the file omvwc_subdir_t1 - pkgAcquire::Clean (21: Is a directory)

W: Problem unlinking the file omvwc_subdir_t2 - pkgAcquire::Clean (21: Is a directory)

I assume, these messages are related to the writecache plugin. But also de-installation does not help to get rid of the messages. Seems to be no bigger issue after all, but maybe ryecoaaron is interested in corr. feedback to this new plugin.

Thanks and regards,

belierzz

You may have a look here:

ryecoaaron provided a simple solution regarding the port 53 conflict.

belierzz · Apr 19th 2025

Thanks, ryecoaaron ,

Going forward, I will still use Clonezilla and also will give omv-regen a try.

belierzz · Apr 19th 2025

Out of curiosity:

I'm wondering about the possibilty of live backups of the root system via the backup plugin. In all literature it is recommended to unmount the disc before the backup. This is obviously not the case during the backup (ddfulldisk) with the a.m. plugin.

Is this a reliable backup solution or is it recommended to do the backup "offline", i.e. Clonezilla or similar? Thanks for a heads-up in adavance...

As soon as I want to enable SMART monitoring for the a.m. HDD, I still receive the initial error message and need to revert. Temp is monitored correctly, it is just the impossibility to activate SMART in the GUI.
