Wow, sorry for the looong delay. I'm thinking of adding another computer box running OMV, so there would be 2 boxes with HDD's(movies). ie 2 16TB computers running OMV. Is there a way to combine both boxes FS into 1. So another computer(player) would "see" 1 FS of movies.

You don't need to combine the 2 OMVs.
Using Kodi (libreelec) as the OS on your dedicated player hardware, you add the 2 OMV boxes as seperate sources.
Kodi will then 'scrape' your sources and create a library of content.
Content organisation, correct naming of files and folders is paramount to getting a highly accurate library.
Add an Xbox One tv tuner and you've got tv on that box aswell.

If you're starting from scratch, it's a long road with a lot of hard lessons, but massive benefits.
Back up your data with at the very least a 1:1 offline.

I decided to do a fresh install with a 4.0.19 usb iso

1. I have had to leave the installation media plugged in for the first few reboots. I'll see if that is still the case shortly

2. This cannont create socket got solved after I added a user from the GUI. To be clear I had this from a fresh install.

3. The perpetual apply button was also solved by adding a user.

not sure if this helps
but for me to successfully have 2 working lan connections only one can connect to the internet.
to achieve this I set the internet one to dhcp and reserve that in the router
the other I configure as static through the omv GUI, but I only put the ip address and subnet mask.

good advice above
power supplies are a common failure on pretty much everything, its why i only use corsair for my PC builds
not forgetting the power supply needs to be powerful enough to power all the components also
there is a massive peak power draw from the components at start up in comparison to the standby/ idle draw, the power supply needs to be oversized to allow for that

cables need to be properly connected - check them

hard drives failing are another common failure

you can check this by plugging the drive in to another computer and use Crystal disk info to see the SMART errors

ALWAYS have an offline copy of your data
NEVER trust one system with your data, it is at risk always

The more complicated a system the higher the chance of things going wrong...and the longer it will take to identify and fix

You should be doing that anyway. It's in the install documentation that during install you should only have your installer and target drive connected. Once you're installed, updated, etc. shut down and connect your data drives and set them up.

The problem is actually that the instruction on screen at the end of the install says to remove installation media and reboot
what it should actually say is leave installation media connected and change boot order in the BIOS

In addition this shouldnt be a problem, but the boot drive UUID isnt picked up on first reboot or created properly during the installation

This is still a problem for me.
I've done a new install from 4.0.19

Had network, upgraded and updated to 4.0.23, now getting the same problem.

Full Error message

ERROR: failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; monit monitor collectd 2>&1' with exit code '1': Cannot create socket to [localhost]:2812 -- Connection refused

There's info here.

I have 2 interfaces on mine, one with dhcp one static with no gateway

I found unplugging one while omv boots solved it for me.
TIme will tell.

Looks like disabling Advanced power management for every drive has solved it.
Time will tell.

FWIW you need to reboot for changes to the Disks tab to take effect.

Don´t do this. It will not improve the situation. I have already filed a bug report in bugtracker.openmediavault.org for about two month. There was no response from the developer. So I didn´t expect a fix for that anymore.
The 6 disks of my NAS are configured to go to standby after 20 minutes. If they are in standby and when I try to open the file systems page, I get this error many times repeatedly. Then it takes several seconds until the drives have spin up. After then I didn´t get a communication error anymore.

Snap. That's exactly the amount of time I have set. Do you per chance also have , Advanced Power Management - 64, Acoustic Management - Disabled and Write Cache - OFF?
It's definitely an OS issue, but whether it's OMV or debian that's at fault is another matter.
This is confirmed with 4.0.15-1
My setup is disks formatted ext4 mounted and label as single devices , pooled with mergerfs with Snapraid 2 parity.
2 different chassis this latest one is 2 x 4 bay SAS with reverse mini SAS cable to come off the motherboards SATA ports.
But I've been experiencing this for ages and my physical drive settings have not changed across builds or OMV versions, so maybe that's it.
A conflict with another process trying to manage spindown?

I'll have a play and see.

Because I thought I might have done something to the BIOS settings, I popped out the 2032 battery for a couple of minutes - which by the way didn't seem to have any effect on the BIOS settings. Battery back.

Of course I revised BIOS settings like 50 times now. I almost feel at home in the American Megatrends BIOS there...

When removing the battery, you need to discharge the other mini batteries (capacitors) in the power supply and motherboard. You do this by removing the mains power cord and pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.

Scratch that. Just want reliablility.ffs

As mentioned I was simply adding my experience with a generic amd/intel build that pertains to the thread title. Using chrome and internet explorer. If i am not being clear or objective it is because i am frustrated.

I have turned off monitoring and SMART.

My post was providing my experience with regards to the thread title. Since update to 3.0.91 omv is unusable. I am not editing via command line, or doing any wierd stuff.
If the guys who code have all upgraded to 4 and hence can't see any problem. Can one of them do a fresh build to confirm browser issues with 3.0.91 please.

File systems tab does come up for me but after about 10 minutes and then I have to clear 40 communications errors. Supermicro server motherboard.

If it helps it looks like something is using cpu 100%.

Strange that the overview tab shows the cpu fluctuating with high usage 50-90%, but the process stats says very low ~10%

I'm also have issues with 3.0.90, communication error, slow formatting, bad gateway.
It's a new install over the top of an existing.

Sound like you could have a DNS problem, which is needed to fetch packages. Reboot/change the router?

Or

You could install on different hardware and move the hard drive to the R710.

The GUI does not show correctly unless you save and apply changes to the physical disk properties.

This is confirmed, by looking at the SMART extended info for the drive.

I saw somewhere that it is not advisable to use write cache unless you have a UPS. Hence the warning.

Looked briefly into formatting multiple drives from the console...

Nope.
