Ok, in fact were media and metadata folder the fat ones.
I moved to the external hdd drive using symlink and now I'm fine.
Thanks to your hints I can find out who is taking too much space

Thanks

Quote from Mr.Grape

Copy / paste operation with cron or any solution for backup / synchronization of files.
Perhaps GoodSync...

What I want to achieve is the have something like raid 1: real time synch between folders on hdd_1 and on hdd_2.
What about configuring e real raid 1 with an already filled disk?
Is it possible?

Quote from Adoby

Why not just copy over the contents of the old drive to the new? Why use OMV?

I'm using OMV for many things and also as backup platform.
The main backup storage is attached to the raspberry with OMV.

Hi all, I'm running OMV3 on a raspberry pi2 B. I have an external USB hdd where I have some photos and data as a backup.
Since a couple of weeks I started receiving warning mail from SMART related to this external usb hdd.
I bought another external usb hdd (same capacity) and I want to setup OMV to "mirror" some folder from the old hdd to this new one.

Any hints?

I used "ln -s " to create symlink

I did it only for logs folder. Maybe I have to move to usb hdd the media folder and keep the database on the sd to have quick access (despite of this I have a lot of slow query warn messages)

Thanks.
I have Plex installed and I did a symlink for Log folder to place them in an external usb hdd.
Could this influence the rootfs space usage despite of symlink?

How can I detect where my rootfs space gone?

mcgyver83 · Jun 25th 2018

Hi, I'm interested in joining the test for rpi2 board, can I migrate my OMV3 config to the new OMV4 instance?

mcgyver83 · Jun 25th 2018

Thanks for the suggestion but I see 2 issues:

I'm running OMV on a rpi2, so docker plugin isn't working (wasn't working the last time I tried it); I can "setup" docker manually but in this way I loose the webGui benefit;
using docker I startup a whole system (image) for each service, works really fine if your business is to provide services that must be self contained but just for fun should be heavy.

But thanks for the suggestion, your idea is a perfect backup plan if I fail following the omv way

mcgyver83 · Jun 25th 2018

Hi, since a couple of months when I restart jdownloader with

sudo service jdownloader stop
sudo service jdownloader start

it get stuck. A new file is created "JDownloader.jar.backup.1" and no "JDownloader.jar" file is present.
"sudo service jdownloader status" says "Failed to start jdownloader" (obviously).

If I stop the service, rename the jar file and restart it starts properly but myjdownloader cannot find my instance despite of it's configured correctly (worked fine since a couple of months ago)

I already removed and installed again the plugin.

mcgyver83 · Jun 14th 2018

Thanks, I'm going to check Rdrive.
OneDrive is not a solution for me because I'm using plex as pictures album, the whole idea is to see google photos images in Plex library.
I'm looking for a plex plugin but in the meanwhile I can synch a folder on OMV drive and link this to a Plex library

mcgyver83 · Jun 13th 2018

I installed OMV on a raspberry pi 2 and added Plex plugin.
I'm looking for something that allow me to synch Google Drive folder (the one used by Google Photos).

Any hints?

mcgyver83 · Nov 19th 2017

Hi all,
I found how to execute check disk of root at boot time.
How can I execute check disk for all filesystem at boot time?

mcgyver83 · Nov 10th 2017

So this means that we can trash our OMV instances and restart from scratch with official images?

mcgyver83 · Nov 7th 2017

mmm so is better to stop monitoring?
Can I move monitoring db (rrd files) to usb hdd?

mcgyver83 · Nov 7th 2017

Hi all,
I'm running OMV on a rpi2 using images from tkaiser published in this post: here

I have an ntfs usb drive connected to the raspberry and a remote share configured using another usb hdd drive connected to the router and exposed via smb in the network.

I see a lot of "Wait I/O" spikes in my graphs, how can I detect who is causing them?

mcgyver83 · Nov 7th 2017

Thanks@'tkaiser' and @petrus

@tkaiser what do you mean with "Seems you're not using latest image?"
I downloaded the image a month ago, I keep OMV up to date using webGui update, isn't enough?

mcgyver83 · Nov 6th 2017

Hi,
after a couple of week of usage mny omv with rpi2 runs fine.

After enabling email monitoring I receive this mail each day:

Some files have owner group root,others admm, others utmp... is it right?

mcgyver83 · Nov 1st 2017

Quote from ryecoaaron

If the manager has a directory that it serves html/php/whatever from, then that would be the web root. If it is its own server and doesn't serve files out of a directory, I don't know.

Ok many thanks.
These services have their own server.

Thanks!
