First a bit of background.

I've had an OMV NAS for a few years now starting with OMV 4 running on an old pc. I then built a new box for it which was about the time 5 came out. Two years ago I retired and moved onto a boat. Although we have shore power it's a bit flaky and I wanted something that would run easily on 12v so I switched to a Rpi4. That was fine but not very tidy with wires for a powered USB hub, USB drive etc so I started looking at mini pcs.

That brings me to where I am now.

Mini PC

8GB DDR4

128GB M.2 SATA SSD

Celeron J4125

It had an expansion bay for a 4TB 2.5inch hard drive so away I went and installed OMV6.

I love it!

The only problem I've had so far has been getting Emby docker to work. Syntax errors in the docker compose I copied from linuxserver but a bit of trial and error, aka hack and hope, got me through that.

So now I have one tidy box fixed to the bulkhead with only 2 wires (12v power and ethernet) going to it .

And I love the web interface on 6

I recently had this problem after going from 2.xx to 4.xx. I found that I hadn't set the share up properly under Services > Samba/CIFS just under Access Rights Management. Once I'd set up Samba I found all my stuff.

I installed OMV 4 then installed the two hard drives from my OMV 2 setup. The array is showing as "Clean, degraded" and as not referenced in file systems

As per Ryecoaaron's pinned post these are the results

The Drives are both WD Red

But I only cleared cookies doh!

Who feels silly now.

Thanks for your help

Yes I have.

I have been using OMV 2 on my NAS since I built it but decided to do a clean install ov OMV 4.

In the web gui I am getting weird errors

This when I try to shutdown

And this when I try to change the timeout and save

So although it appears to have installed ok I can't actually change anything.

I use the transmission plugin and the watch folder works fine for me. Maybe it is because it is on a USB and not available all the time?

Great stuff, thank-you

When I built my NAS I used a new 3TB WD Red drive and a random 2TB drive I had laying about configured in a RAID 1.

After a few months of gradually adding all my DVDs to it I am left with only 400GB free on the 2TB Raid. My thoughts were to get a 4TB WD Red drive to replace the 2TB drive giving me 3TB on the RAID and allowing for future growth. The question is, I can find threads about replacing a failed hard drive but nothing about replacing a working one.

Is it as simple as Removing the old drive in RAID Management, swapping them over and then adding the new, blank, drive to the RAID?

Well the case was ordered last night and arrived this afternoon and I can confirm there are 2 x hot swap bays for 3.5 inch drives and a further internal 3.5 inch bay.

Now I have a question about the drives themselves. If I initially install one 3TB drive can I then add another in a month or so's time to create the RAID without losing the data on the first one? Or could I create the RAID now with one 3TB drive and a 320GB drive I have laying about and then replace that with another 3TB later?

I currently have about 170GB of films and TV.

That should have read:

The size is the main criteria to keep swmbo happy so more bays aren't really an option.

Re: the case

I queried that and they have assured me that there is room for three x 3.5in HDDs so all good there

The size is the main criteria so more bays to keep swmbo happy aren't really an option.

HDDs

This is the sort of info I was after.

I realise that long term 1TB isn't going to cut it but it will start me off without breaking the bank I can see WD Red 1TB on Amazon for only a little bit more so they could be the ones

Hi,

Currently I have a desktop running Zorin, a Goflex Home for backup and a FireTV stick with Kodi for watching films.

To save having the desktop fill up with video files I moved them all to the NAS and the Firestick works well playing them from there but I realised that meant no backup of the video files so I am proposing to build a new NAS with the following spec:

OS: OMV 2.*
Case: CFI-A2060 http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=42#CFI-A2060
Motherboard: Asrock Mod Q1900-ITX https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0…T3C&coliid=I34JIXTIE7UKYQ
Ram: 4GB
OS HDD: An old laptop SATA I had laying around
Raid 1 HDDs: 2 X WD 1TB Green https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0…liid=I1KZXFO7AP5Y4D&psc=1

Anyone see any glaring problems waiting to bite me?
