Well, I couldn't resist it,

Now, I need to find a way HOW to tell my wife...

Flowers always help.

I don't know if proxmox will do what you want or not. You could have as many virtual nics as you want. There is also the supported option to install OpenVswitch on proxmox. OVS is a very powerful network virtual switch.

Good luck

I am not sure witch config file you want to modify so this might not apply. I will use smb.conf for this example.
Create a directorymkdir /etc/samba/smb.conf.d

Create a new config file with the settings you want. nano /etc/samba/smb.conf.d/new.conf

In samba "extra options" add include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.d/new.conf

Now OMV wont change your settings in new.conf.

I think this would work for any setting that has extra options but not sure. I know it works for samba. So the only thing needed would be an "extra options" box that is on many pages. If you break it you bought it. LOL

Here is how I join to my AD domain.

Thread

OMV 6.X (RC1) Active Directory

Update:
This seems to be working fine and surviving updates. There is some info about ftp and ssh in the 8th post. Thanks to WiiFriik for that. Please read the whole thread before trying this. There are a few recommendations for other servers.
Feedback welcome.
If anybody can write a plugin that would be welcome.

This is early so try at your own risk. It works with my 2012r2 server. That is all I have to test against. Hopefully it work with other AD servers. No idea if this will work on other than…

What type of ad are you trying to join?

Good luck

Welcome to the forum.

To access the comand line.

user = root

password = The password you set on install.

To access the web .

user = admin

password = openmediavault Should be change to something more secure!

If that is not it your boot drive may be full.

df -h will tell.

A google search for samba debian Qualcomm Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 shows many complaints for that hardware. Didn't read enough to see if there is a solution.

Good luck

What nic hardware are you using? lspci You might need to install pciutils.

Welcome to the forums and thanks for testing.

I have only had less than 40 users so not thousands. Having to enter users and groups kind of defeats the reason for using AD. There are many options in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf .

sssd.conf(5) — sssd-common — Debian bullseye — Debian Manpages

Some can be used to limit the users and groups that show up like this. It is from my omv5 implementation so check the newer version. Formatting may suck.

# If unneeded users or other objects show.

# Use "dsquery user -name"  test to see on windows with powershell

#ldap_user_search_base = OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=example,DC=com

# ldap_user_search_base = CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com

Here is an older article that may be useful.

Anatomy of SSSD user lookup

This blog post describes how a user lookup request is handled in SSSD. It should help you understand how the SSSD architecture looks like, how the data flows…

There are also some caching options if lookups are slow.

Good luck.

Don't have win 11 to try this but in the old days you could useserver\user to authenticate at server. In this case server would be your OMV. Start with the ip address. And user would be your username on OMV.

You might try to map a drive. That should get you to the login prompt.

I would fix the dns. "netbios" is disabled for security. At least add it to the "hosts" file if win 11 still has one. LOL

Can you try transferring between two windows computers on your network?

I assume you read the post above yours. What were the test results? If they both work check the "work group" name.

We are all getting older, it is better than the alternatives. There are plenty of threads about optimizing smb.

Extra options is there right below "Asynchronous IO". The font is small for some reason. Don/t know if it will help but if it is in extra options it will survive updates.

Good luck

Thanks for the feedback. There are many threads about "acl" vs "permisions". I just use "acl" but others say don't use them. You will have to test for your self. I don't have any newer windows machines to test with.

It has come up many times since. Not only for read only. If a drive fails or is removed too. That is why being able to see what is referenced would help people understand why it is greyed out. Or at least a "tooltip" with some explanation of what to look for.

Thanks

There are two ways that I know of.

Storage | Shared Folders - lists shared folders and whether or not a shared folder is referenced.

Services | Reset perms | Shared Folder in Use - lists shared folders and which service is using the shared folder.

Maybe even a "tool tip" when hovering over the "greyed out" unmount button.

I know but a "button" or something would help newer users and avoid threads like this recurring over the years.

I use option 2 and it works well for me. Couple of things you might read to optimize storage.

It would be nice if there was a way to see what is referenced or using the drive.

Or why not just run it on proxmox?
