    Agreed. This is the way. It’s a good idea to create a new user account in omv for smb access at least while you are testing stuff.


    My limited understanding of the situation for the op is the shared folders are not visible in windows explorer. This can be the the case depending on how network discovery is configured. You should still me able to created a mapped drive. I do this fine using my work pc when at home.

    I guess I didn't pick up on that.


    So, let's go w/ brain dead simple something to check. Since they aren't showing up in Explorer... You did enable SMB right? You can add shares to SMB all day long, but if the service is not enabled, you won't be able to access them.


    I'm not a Windows user.. but everytime I help one there is always an issue with guest shares.


    Have you tried creating a user and using a user to log in to those shares? If you go this method, when you create your shares and add them to SMB.. everything just needs to be default and it "just works"

    I would not partition it. That is more or less pointless as next time you do a clean install, you're going to nuke that partition setup (unless you do an alternative install). Not to mention if you accidentally make the partition to small, you'll be resizing, etc. if you must use this drive for the OS, just use the share root plugin so you can use the root drive for shared folders and nix the partitioning idea.


    If it were me, I'd get a 32gig flash drive, install OMV on to it (make sure it's at least USB 3.0, 2.0 is unbearable)... Then use your large drive for docker Jellyfin, etc as you intended.


    Generally speaking a properly configured OS, should really only take about 4-5 gigs of space.

    not totally true,that is the latest OMV related:

    Hmm, I thought it had been a while.. looks like most of his videos are "vs" videos instead of how to's.

    I will not change the ip to static again, I thought it would be easy, nope. I was interested in getting files outside my network if I did, again thanks:)

    changing to static is fine (and even recommended)... doing it properly is the issue.

    from the sounds of it you did not copy the folder correctly. Not sure why you used rsync when it is a simple command line to execute the copy.


    If you cd to /nvme


    What is the output of


    ls

    You've lost me there, it's my thread


    I run headless, do not have a wired keyboard. I play with a lot of hardware which means a lot of installs from scratch. Knowing what IP I'm using before I get into OMV has a ton of utility for me but further to that, it's unlikely everyone who's posted in this thread is setting static IP in their router ergo this is likely a problem unrelated to router settings

    I've ran headless for .. about 8yrs. That has no connection to this.

    5.5 years ago was the first commit on github. For VMs, I usually use the OMV iso. But a lot of my installs are sbc, I use the install script a lot too.

    Man it seems like a lot longer than that... Hard to believe it's been 2011 this whole journey started. I remember finding out about this project and was hesitant because I had Ubuntu server set up how I wanted it. Volker running this project appealed to me as did it being based on Debian. Freenas went to to the pits when he left and the transition to iX started. I imagine it's better over there now, but their forums, the standard response was "File a bug report", over and over and over.. after they pulled all the .7 install images and basically forced an upgrade to 8 alpha on everyone. It was crazy.


    I finally installed OMV (after testing it for 2mo in VM's..lol) in December '11. The rest is shall we say, history.

    Because the netinstall is making you select the drive you want to install grub on I assume?

    That is my assumption yes. When I say "I" run into this issue... That usually means I'm helping someone having this issue


    Like I've said before .. no knock on the OMV installer. I just always have a netinst iso as I use Debian in several VM's... So I find it easier to just install with it then choose whatever I need for that VM. Since I always have the iso and it's fairly painless to install omv on top of it... It's just the route I always go.


    I haven't used the OMV iso in years. I can't even remember how long you've had the script up, but I know it's been a while...
