It looks like your root file system is mounted to read-only by the kernel.

Ye that was from me umount the drive to fsck the drive, rebooted and tried again and the access denied message is gone, but still get the errors for unresolved host, trying to reinstall glib also results in the same and any other dependencies too, like the address no longer exists, but I know deb.debian.org still works

From what I can tell I'm on a depreciated version of debian now (buster?), do I need to update my source list? or is there another problem somewhere else

Update: gave up, LIVE distro to recover data and moved to another OS, waiting on response here for "help" for the most obvious replies isn't something I want to wait for.

To me it looks like the filesystem is corrupted.

Ye it looks that way, trying to reinstall netplan results in a fetch error too along with multiple other errors, photo attached as there's just too much to write.

I've been running OMV for about 12 years now, upgraded back in 2021 something like that (unsure on version of OMV not current) and hasn't really been updated at all since.

Today I had a power cut and my OMV server went down, upon boot I was getting errors all over and missing EFI among other things and failing to boot to OMV,

I've ran fsck -f on my boot drive and seems to have repaired it and can now get to the OMV login screen

Before this I could see a error about Netplan with a exit status 127, from this I have no way of reaching the server over the network, SSH times out as does FTP and SMB .

I've ran fsck again but still the same.

Trying to get netplan to generate a new config results in a symbol error

lib/netplan/generate: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_reahloc 

Any suggestions on recovering this

seems it was a grub issue, reinstalled a fresh install, removed the raid during install and rebooted with them attatched and there now accessible and working fine

panic over

So decided to switch cases to fit manother HDD in came to boot back up from usb (where OMV is ran from) but getting nothing but the flashing cursor is also the same on another computer so the card is either damaged or FS is broken

Tried a fsck on it and it comes back clean supposdely, now my issue

Stupidly either me or OMV setup a linear raid on 2 drives and obviously because i'm not in the OMV install neither are mountable in linux, is there a way round this (would a reinstall OMV solve it) or is the data potentially gone

You should only have to enter the password once until you reboot. Do you have guest access enabled in Samba? Did you give the proper users privileges for the Shared Folders in OMV?

nothing has changed omv side, on my previous windows install i was only ever asked once to enter a username and password as i always enabled remember the password etc

this time round i didn't get a prompt at all, why i've been able to access the other shares and do whatever I don't know

In Windows, go to Control Panel -> User Accounts. Create a user and password that you have set in OMV in the User tab.

thanks but I enabled file sharing and newtork discovery in windows and turned off samba then re-enabled and it's now working

wierd one that, previously on all devices that have tried to access the shares have all been prompted to enter a username and password, any reason you can think of why I wasn't this time?

Quote from "ryecoaaron"

Your filesystems probably have 5% of the space reserved.

tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdc1

will turn it off (set to 0) for /dev/sdc1. The 80% warning is hard-coded into OMV although you can turn it off in the Notifcations tab.

thanks for that

seems i have a problem with samba though windows side, other laptops can access the share fine and create folders etc but my machine cannot, it used to be able to but upon reinstalling windows i was never asked to enter a username or pwd to get access to the share

any ideas?

So i was trying to create a new folder in a samba share and kept getting a permission denied error but other shares work

Looked at the daemon log and it's spitting out this

Oct 25 18:46:20 omv monit[1394]: 'fs_media_aa9322eb-a4d9-4b3e-994a-1e9824803d51' space usage 98.5% matches resource limit [space usage>80.0%]
Oct 25 18:46:20 omv monit[1394]: 'fs_media_192c9786-2712-4192-83f6-297c2eabcd0b' space usage 97.1% matches resource limit [space usage>80.0%]

one of the shares has 40gb available and the other has 386gb

looked and looked through the omv interface and can't find a mention about this, funnily though i can continue to copy files and folders to the smaller available share (40gb) but cannot on the larger free share (386gb)

any ideas?

EDIT: seems i have it wrong and that sdc1 is complaining about being full, no idea what that is, i have 3 hard drives and usb boot drive

edit2: seems it's a problem with the install on my windows machine, just tried on a laptop and it can write to the shares fine and create folders, I setup this win 7 a few days ago and never got prompted to enter a username or password when accessing the samba shares, i'm guessing that's the problem, any help?

just for clarity

Just upgraded my router to gigabit connections and the pc i have OMV installed on only has a 100mb connection (onboard) and i'm seeing low transfer speeds over ethernet (getting 3mb/s before on 100mb to 100mb was 10-12mb/s)

Now i was just going to buy a new LAN card which supports gigabit but don't want the hassle of setting everything back up as it works well at the moment.

My question is can i just add the new card and switch the cable and OMV will continue to work or do i need to reinstall from the start?
