You should be able to access the folder as root (with elevated privileges).

Still strange, as according to the video you just used smb to access the folders. And smb settings have no effect on file system level.

> You should be able to access the folder as root (with elevated privileges)

Can you provide me with instructions on what it is I need to do to access the folder as root (with elevated privileges) please?

Here is my current set up,

- I'm logged in to Linux Ubuntu as the root user.

- My external HD that contains my password protected folder is connected via USB to the Linux Ubuntu system.

What do I need to do to access the folder as root (with elevated privileges)?

Thank you for your help macom

How did you do the password protection?

macom I set up password protection inside the web gui of OMV

I think I followed this guide (or something very similar) from TechnoDadLife to set up the folders with password protection -

My Question:

Is there a way I can access the folders that were password protected on OMV when the storage hard drive is connected to a system running desktop ubuntu?

Additional Background Information:
I set up Open Media Vault with storage set to an external hard drive.

The external hard drive is formatted to ext4.

My Open Media Vault install has become corrupt so I have connected the external hard drive to another Linux system running desktop ubuntu.

The folders that didn't have a password set, I can access them when connecting the external hard drive to the Ubuntu desktop system.

I can see the folders that with a password, but I can not access them when connecting the external hard drive to the Ubuntu desktop system.

• Is there a way I can access the folders that were password protected on OMV when the storage hard drive is connected to a system running desktop ubuntu?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello @macom @KM0201

I'm still trying to work out why my OMV randomly goes to sleep.

Click the link below to see a full days logs for 16th December - This was the last time I turned on my OMV machine, before switching it back on today.

https://pastebin.com/46UPQUqF

Is there anything in the logs that explains why the system is going in to auto shutdown / auto sleep?

Let me know if you need me to pull off more information or do something with any of the settings.

Thank you for your help with this.

@macom @KM0201

Just wondering do you have any more suggestions on what I could try or check?

Please leave a message below and let me know if there is anything else or if we have checked everything you can think of.

Thank you for your help.

Just for further reference and investigation

My power management settings are below

Also my disks (Micro SD Flash for OS and 2TB sata to usb data drive) are not set to spin down, see image below

Thank you for showing me where the image attachments are.

I can't quite believe all the time I have been using this forum I never noticed the links across the bottom of the text input area.

Hello so I am trying to figure out the log myself and wondered if I am understanding it correctly.

Here is a link to a paste bin - https://pastebin.com/kgcrujVi

It's not the full log, I can put a larger amount of log if that is helpful?

Based on the link above .......

Line 567 - Is this showing I logged in to the web interface?

Line 580 - Is this the system doing an automated system update then shutting down?

My system did randomly restart after I logged in to the web interface and I wonder if this is what the log is showing?

I have found the system logs. Thank you for pointing me to the right place. This will be a big help to me should I need to trouble shoot anything in the future.

There is a lot to look through in the log and I am not sure exactly what I need to find to to identify when the system went to sleep. I have over 22 pages of logs for yesterday, is there anyway I can narrow down the search as I don't remember the exact times the system went to sleep.


Also thanks for letting me know I can upload by attaching the image. I'm not sure I am looking in the correct place. When I look on the tool bar above the text box I see an option for 'image' (the icon is of a mountain with the sun above it). When I click the image icon there is only options for 'source' and 'link'. Is that the correct icon to click to attach the image?

I have uninstalled auto shutdown and WOL plugins as a short term measure. I wasn't using either of them, (I might need to use them later).

There is nothing in added to Power Management >> Scheduled Jobs?.
I am having issues accessing any image hosting websites to to show that nothing is in Power Management >> Scheduled Jobs. As soon as I can upload a screen shot so I can confirm this I will


Please can you explain how I can access sys-logs?

Thank you for helping me with this.

Hello,

I am using Open Media Vault 5 on a ROCK64 board.

My OMV system seems to regularly power down.

I am not sure why it is doing this.

Are there any setting I can check / change to prevent this from happening?

All advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

TL:DR - I can connect to my OMV network shared folders with my Linux machine. When I try to to connect on my Windows 10 machine I get refused access.

Can anyone help me trouble shoot this please?

Full details below.

-------

I have set up Open Media Vault set up on a ROCK64 board.

I have set up all the shares.

When I try to access them from my LInux (Ubuntu) machine I can access everything with out any issues (see image below)



But when I try to access them on my Windows 10 laptop I get the following message

"001-Media Store is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

Multiple Connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.
Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource or try again"

Can anyone help me trouble shoot this?

Update

I can access the share from Linux machine without a problem.

It seems the issue is with a Windows 10 machine.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this, please leave a message below.

I decided to delete the folders as there wasn't anything in them important.

I am now trying to set up a private folder but I am having problems.

Please see here for more information - Need help setting up a private folder [More details inside]

Hello,

I have followed many different tutorials on setting up a private folder. Including this one from TechnoDadLife - https://youtu.be/SHGcFGSaLMs?t=243

When I try to log in to the folder I see the message in the image below.

Is anyone kind enough to help me with this problem? I need the help, support and guidance of the community. I have been trying to figure this out for the last 6 months on my own with no success

Any help and support would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks gderf , I am glad I asked now.

I don't want to be locking myself out of the shell accidentally.

I wont update this then if it is the wrong place.

Hi macom

This is a fantastic idea, thank you for your help.

My understanding of OMV is some what limited, but you have promoted me to have a further poke around in the OMV backend.

I have located the user with read/write privileges on the folder I want to access.

If I select 'User' (in the side bar) > select the username with the read/write privileges > edit - I can see a place to update the password (same as the image below).

If I update the password there will I then be able to access the folder?

Thank you for your help.

I set up a shared folder using SMB/CIFS but I have forgot the password and username.

Is there I way to recover or change the password of the folder?

I'd also like to know if I can find out the username to login with too?

Thank you for your help,

Thank you for the reply. I think my issue was that I was running Armbian Focal, when I should have been using Armbian Buster.

But I wanted to follow up on what you have advised.

Does it make any difference if I run the script as root or as the new user?

What is the correct way to run it?

Will have have any issues if I ran the script as root?

Thanks for your help.
