This i substituted the failed harddrive but i also installed an additional harddrive to the RAID5 to get more storage space.Īll partitions on the harddrive were deleted and then the RAID5 was configured for the 4 equal sized harddrives. With this IP address you can log into the server via a browser. After the installation is done the system is restarted and booted from the boot device. The installation is very guided and you only have to pay attention to select the right drive for the installation. Openmediavault is a open source operating systems specialized on NAS systems which is based on a Debian distribution.Īdministration is done via a webinterface.
#Install open media vault on usb stick install#
Since i had to substitute the failed harddrive anyway i decided to install openmediavault. In a RAID 5 combination one harddrive is allowed to fail, but anyway this was the signal i had to take care off. A couple of days ago i got a warning email from the system smartd daemonnotifying me about one of the harddrives in the RAID 5 had unreadable sectors. A SSD is used as a boot drive for Debian 9 system. For backups of my images and video clips i use a RAID 5 with 3 phxsical harddrives. Other services like a database or an Apache webserver are not used any more.

Then you can setup the usb backup normally on the encrypted drive. You have to restart service openmediavault-engined restart to see the change. That will show most of your filesystems including the encrypted one. I've managed to setup the plugin to work with luks encrypted volume but it needed some omv source hacking to show the drive on the list. It doesn't seem to recognize LUKS encrypted USB filesystem, even mounted is not allowed as the target it does work with unencrypted filesystem only. Mount it, LUKS volume is seen, decryption is triggered and then the backup plugin sees the decrypted filesystem and starts doing its thing. Pretty sure this can be done with an external drive too. I found a tutorial to automate this, so now LUKS is completely transparent. But on every reboot I had to manually unlock the encryption before OMV could mount and use the filesystem. My disk in my OMV box is not encrypted It's simple, really. I'm not that far into LUKS so this is news to me. Gonna play around with this and see if I can come up with something. Hmm, I've been wanting to look into the exact same thing. Ultimately I was hoping for, like you say, a more elegant solution, but at least someone else sees this as a way to do it. The disks there are two rotate between a relatives house and mine. The hard drive is solely used for offsite backup so encrypting the whole disk is an option if need be.

I agree that this is badly documented, had to figure this out on my own.Īlso the "shared folder" setting is where the backup gets saved. Clonezilla is an option, but it failed to successfully copy partitions to the SSD - it wouldn't boot. I've looked into OMV backup plugins, but they are not documented at all. My question: How can I create schedule copies of the OMV system drive, so that I could recreate it bit for bit, if the drive died tomorrow? I've spent way too long configuring this for it to blow up, and the drive is an older Seagate with unknown history.
