BTW: OMV5 is End of Life. You should consider to upgrade to OMV6.

Thread

Is there a guide to in place upgrade?

Hi all

Reading bits and pieces in different threads regarding the CLI upgrade path from 5 to 6, but wondered if there's a thread that covers the steps in one place that I'm struggling to find?

My basic understanding is:

1. Backup OS drive
2. Check any used plugins have been ported to OMV6 and if they haven't install via Docker instead
3. Temporarily remove data drives
4. Disable running services
5. Go in via CLI (Putty in my case) and run the couple of update commands (when I find them again!)
6. Wait

I know but for my setup (raspberry pi2B) there is no "upgrade process" so I have to fully rebuild the system and I'm waiting to have a free time slot for that

I'm running OMV 5 on a raspberry pi 2B.
I have auth.log that becomes ~2MB each day because is full of lines like

Sep  7 20:46:02 raspberrypi CRON[6306]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
Sep  7 20:47:01 raspberrypi CRON[6884]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

Sep  7 20:49:01 raspberrypi CRON[7780]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root

If I got it right there is this cron configured by default

./make_nas_processes_faster:* * * * * root /usr/sbin/omv-ionice >/dev/null 2>&1

That is executed exactly each minute.
What ionice does? is it possible to avoid so many log entries?

also see the comment from votdev in post #3

I'm going to read suggested links.
About votdev comment, he refers to "my shell" but is the default shell configured by OMV image, or not?

I tried via ssh and the shell has "source" command.

After a lot of time I'm coming back to this topic. I have a script that executes a tool to download Google Photos images.

cat /home/pi/gphotos-sync/gphotos-sync.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /home/pi/gphotos-sync;
/home/pi/.local/bin/pipenv run ./gphotos-sync --logfile /var/log/gphotos-sync.log --secret /home/pi/gphotos-sync/client_secret.json /home/pi/local_drive/Foto/GooglePhotos

If I run it from terminal works fine and no strange message.

I configured the execution in "Scheduled Jobs" setting Command with

./home/pi/raspberry-mcg/script/gphotos-sync/gphotos-sync.sh

When I run it from Scheduled Jobs play button in the modal windows this message appears:

/var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-fe8457ff-1a95-4f9f-a331-e74b25603a0a: 31: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-fe8457ff-1a95-4f9f-a331-e74b25603a0a: source: not found

but the script runs fine. Since I enabled "send email" when it ends I receive a mail with:

/var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-fe8457ff-1a95-4f9f-a331-e74b25603a0a: 31: /var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-fe8457ff-1a95-4f9f-a331-e74b25603a0a: source: not found

What is this "source" command?

Hi.

I'm using -a parameter
I don't know if the fact that source is EXT4 and dest is a remote SBM share (physically is an NTFS drive) could be an issue.

I'll try to rsync only a small folder to check what is different.

HI, I moved from scheduled jobs that execute a custom bash scripts running rsync command to the already available omv interface to run rsync.

I realised that user that runs the rsync command is root, so all backup files are owned by root and also log files.
How can I keep files owner?
With custom bash script I was used to run them with a standard user.

Thanks for your feedback.

I did it via script to "learn" how rsync is used.
I know that there is OMV gui to use rsync but I want to understand it before using the gui.

Quote from chente

The folder is automatically mounted in / srv / xxxxxxx (numbers ...), but you must handle it with the shared folder name that you created.

Where in the filesystem I can find the folder with "Shared folder" as name?
I mean accessing filesystem via terminal?

Quote from chente

I edit. Sorry. I just reread your first post. I don't think I got it right. What is the reason to do this from CLI with a scrypt? You can do any rsync work in the GUI. Doesn't that seem easier to you?

Anyway what you've done should work, you access the correct folder with a symbolic link.

The issue I had (root fs filled by files sync done by rsync) happened because I reboot the router, so the remote mount gone away. When the router was again up&running OMV didn't remounted the remote smb share so /srv/xxxxxx become a "local folder" and rsync started putting files there.

There is a way to make OMV remount/re-attach a "Remote mount" as soon as it come back?

Yes

But now which file system folder is the one mapping that remote mount?

I'm using remote mount

but how I can access di mounted remote share?
In the picture I put in the first message I showed the filesystem, here I can see that the remote mount is mounted under /srv/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.

You suggestion is to use that folder?

Probably I got what happened when I had the full root disk issue: I restarted the router so the remote mount is gone.
When router restart ended OMV didn't remount the share so as soon as someone tried to write into /srv/xxxxxx (accessing the folder via symlink but I think isn't a problem) in fact is writing on the local file system not the remote one.

Could be possible?

Hi,
I configured a remote mount linked to a smb share exposed by the router.

In filesystem page I see that is mounted:

in the home dir I have a symlink to the path where the remote is mounted.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi users 42 May 20 07:56 router_drive -> /srv/4892764a-9c63-4689-83c1-4627bbaa2a84/

I have a bash script that triggers rsync from a local folder to this mounted drive.

this is the rsync script:

rsync -av \

--delete \

--no-perms \

--no-owner \

--no-group \

--progress \

--exclude-from='/home/pi/raspberry-mcg/script/backup/rsync_exclude.txt' \

--log-file='/var/log/rsync/rsync_router_drive.log' \

/home/pi/backup_drive/ /home/pi/router_drive/rsync/

The highlight path is the destination path, a symlink to the remote folder as shown above.

What happened yesterday is that, instead of copying stuff to the remote, the script wrote in /home/pi/router_drive/rsync/ files (like the usual behaviour) but instead of the remote this files filled up my root partition. Seems that the mount disappeared so rsync created the folder tree into /home/pi/router_drive/rsync/ but now this was a local folder.

What is the right way to access from ssh a remote mount shared folder?

Hi I have a FritzBox 7530 with the attached usb drive exposed via SMB in the same "workgroup" of smb shared_folder configured in OMV.

I configured in OMV "remote mount" for the smb exposed by the fritzbox router.

After I have an rsync script that syncs stuff from local to the router smb share.
When it runs I have a lot of messages like below:

Any hints?

Hi,

I'm running OMV with a raspberry pi 2B.Docker storage is configured on the raspberry SD card so no issue; container persistent storage is located on a usb drive so I face the issue described at reboot (only on 2 containers, I have 6 containers started at boot).

I tried the delay way proposed here delay docker start but no luck.

I think my issue is related to external drive mount availability so I tried

Quote from ryecoaaron

omv-extras writes the waitLocalFs.conf. So, I wouldn't change that one. And instead of delay, delete all of the files in /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/ and try the following (as root):

Code

Code

cat <<EOF > /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/waitAllMounts.conf

[Unit]

After=local-fs.target $(systemctl list-units --type=mount | grep /srv | awk '{ print $1 }' | tr '\n' ' ')

EOF

and works!!!
It takes some time to have containers up & running but now I can rely on those containers also after a power outage

I'm having the same issue.
Executed the suggested commands.
Tomorrow I will check again.


Thanks

Yes, RPI

Thanks for the link!

Hi, since some months I had the feeling that when I enter Update Management page items shown are always the same.
Now I had the time to check and yesterday I execute the update without error, blank Update Management page after update.
This morning I enter the page and I still see same updates as yesterday.
As example:

Here the log: log

Ok now I got it.
Not Extra options from remote mount configuration but in the SMB Share configuration.

I was referring to the filesystem folder used as mounting point (/srv/485245asadasdsa).

I sometimes forget that OMV is dedicate to configure a nas, so is not supposed you access its real filesystem via ssh or similar

In the proposed link there is no mention to extra-options

Finally I did it adding

uid=<myUser>,gid=users

to the options string

Thanks I will try.

But How can I mount a shared SMB drive (exposed by the router) on a local folder owned by a specific user?
My issue is that /srv/xxxxxx is owned by root:root. I can browse folders but cannot create any file

Hi all,
coming back to this topic.
I still have the same issue: "Remte Mount" + "Shared folder" make directories in the file system that are owned by root.
I want to use the remote mounted drive (usb drive attached to router) for backup and I don't want that backup files are owned by root.

How can I change ownership for folder inside the "Remote Mount"?

Just for info: I realized that is just a matter of wait more time
After I was able to login via ssh
