I've finally decided that SnapRAID is what fits my NAS purposes the best. I've considered two options: installing SnapRAID on top of Debian and installing it on top of OpenMediaVault. Since my Linux experience is very little, I'm thinking that OMV would be the better choice for me.

The Login details of the VM are: Root password on the shell: howtoforge OpenMediaVault Web interface Usernam: admin Password: howtoforge Dont forget to change the passwords! Great tutorial, the clearest I have found, thank you very much.

Then confirm the changes. 5.5) Add a file share To store files on the NAS drive, we need a file share that can be accessed by our user. Click on 'Access Rights Management' > 'Shared Folders' > 'Add'. I will add a folder named 'Documents' with the path 'Documents/' on the data volume. The next step is to grant read/write permissions to the user 'till'.

The Grub boot screen appears. Press or wait until it starts automatically.

The name of tmy storage volume is 'data'. The final list of storage devices shall look like this. Select the 'data' volume in the list and click on the 'Mount' button to mount the volume. Only mounted volumes will appear as option in the shared folders volume list. 5.5) Add a user Now we can add a user to access your file shares. Click on 'Access Rights Management' > 'User' > Add: Enter the user details: username, email address, and password.

As has been said OMV grills them and spits them out.

But again, only partially. Most people don't know/care what sectors a particular file resides on, and in a pooled config they may not even know/care which disks they reside on, so to say you can safely delete files needs a little extra explanation.

Now select the keyboard Layout. In my case, I'll select 'German' as layout and press. The installer starts to load some additional packages from installation media. Enter the hostname of your server. The domain name is requested in the next screen, so the hostname here is the first part of the fully qualified domain name. When the server shall have the fqdn 'server1.example.com' then the hostname is 'server1'.

Booting up, it will show you lot of different screens that aren’t important to us right now. Just wait for it to ask you for a language. Afterwards, you’ll have to provide a location and a keyboard localization (keymap). I prefer to keep everything in English except for my keymap; I’ve got that on Danish to match my physical keyboard layout. The next thing we will need to do is to provide the system with is a hostname. This is the name for the NAS in your network environment and can be anything you want it to be. I’ll be calling mine “BeeTest” for this setup.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. Government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time tm). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

To enable the share for FTP, go to Services > FTP > Shares, Click on 'Add', Select the 'Documents' share and press save. Confirm the changes. Use the same procedure for SMB/CIFS: go to Services > SMB/CIFS > Shares, Click on 'Add', Select the 'Documents' share and press save.

Are there any limitations to choosing OMV over a distribution like Debian? Or am I essentially able to do the same things since OMV is based on Debian? I also came across a post in this subreddit stating that: The problem with OMV is that you should not use a flash drive as the OS drive. Because of constant I/O, the flash drive will die within a few months. This statement concerns me since I'm planning on installing the OS on SanDisk Cruzer USB Flash Drive (I reckon 32gb would be more than enough).

It's primarily modifications and deletions you are worried about. New files on any disk won't break the parity, they simply won't be recovered if the disk they resides on dies. If a disk dies after you have modified/deleted files on the other disks, but before you have run a sync, the rebuild will be affected. But it will only be partially affected, to the approximate extent of the deleted/modified files. The solution is to simply not store anything which regularly changes on your snapraid disks. Or if you do, make sure to exclude them via the config. Snapshot raid is therefore suited mostly to media collections and so forth.

Now we just need to press OK and wait a little while for it to finish. You don’t need to reboot when it asks you to, as we’re using the drive on another system.

4) Login details Web interface • User: admin • Password: openmediavault Client (SSH, console) • User: root • Password: The server has been configured by DHCP. Login as root user on the shell and run the command: ifconfig to get the current IP address. In my case, the IP address is 192.168.1.30. Open a web browser and enter followed by your IP address: to go to the web login: Enter the default login details user: admin, password: openmediavault: And the OpenMediaVault Admin interface appears. 5) First steps in OpenMediaVault This chapter shows the steps to secure the login, enable an FTP and SMB/CIFS share and how to enable access by SSH. 5.1) Change the web admin password To change the web administrator password, go to 'General Settings' and change to the tab 'Web Administrator Password: Enter the new password and press on the 'Save' button in the upper left corner of the input form. Services like FTP, SMB and SSH are disabled by default. In the next step, I will enable FTP and SMB (Microsoft Windows Share).

On this page • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • OpenMediaVault is a Debian based special purpose Linux Distribution to build a Network Attached Storage (NAS) System. It provides an easy to use web-based interface, Multilanguage support, Volume Management, Monitoring and a plugin system to extend it with LDAP, Bittorrent, and iSCSI capabilities. This tutorial describes the installation and configuration of OpenMediaVault. Prerequisites for this tutorial • PC with 32 or 64Bit Intel processor. • 2 Harddisks (or one hard disk with 2 partitions). OpenMediaVault requires a separate disk or partition for the OS install and a separate disk or partition for the data. 1) Download OpenMediaVault The first step is to download the OpenMediaVailt ISO file from Sourceforge.

Press to reboot the server. The Grub boot screen appears. Press or wait until it starts automatically. The System ready. You can now login to OpenMediaVault on the shell as root user or in the Web interface. 4) Login details Web interface • User: admin • Password: openmediavault Client (SSH, console) • User: root • Password: The server has been configured by DHCP. Login as root user on the shell and run the command: ifconfig to get the current IP address. In my case, the IP address is 192.168.1.30.

This also seems to affect most other system installs on non SSD flash media type of drives with the ext4 file system. I did a search for ext4 and SSD and was surprised at how many returns there were! Most of them dealt with how to reduce the amount of writes ext4 does. It seems as though it has something to do with journaling of ext4.

Configure the location from where the apt package manager will load the software packages. Choose a location near to you.

Personally, I prefer OpenMediaVault (OMV) over the other two free NAS systems, FreeNAS and NAS4free. It is even possible to make Windows 7 into a half-decent NAS OS, but that will be something for another day. Go to and download the latest ISO.

Only mounted volumes will appear as option in the shared folders volume list. 5.5) Add a user Now we can add a user to access your file shares. Click on 'Access Rights Management' > 'User' > Add: Enter the user details: username, email address, and password. Then confirm the changes. 5.5) Add a file share To store files on the NAS drive, we need a file share that can be accessed by our user. Click on 'Access Rights Management' > 'Shared Folders' > 'Add'. I will add a folder named 'Documents' with the path 'Documents/' on the data volume.

Go to Services > SSH and enable the service. 5.4) Create a file system as data storage volume OpenMediaVault needs a separate hard disk or partition to store data (storage volume). In my case, I'll use a second hard disk /dev/sdb. Click on Storage > File Systems > Create to add the second hard disk as a storage volume.

You can download it. This is one useful tool to have around anyway, not only can it flash ISOs 0n to USB sticks like in this case, it also has a whole list of other distributions build in that can be directly downloaded and flashed onto your sticks. While these 2 files are downloading, you could prepare the USB stick for the installation by freshly formatting it in FAT32. Flash the Installer onto an USB Drive Before you continue to the next part, please unplug all your other USB storage devices from the system. It has happened to more than one user that they selected the wrong drive and unplugging any other will prevent just that from happening. With only our freshly formatted USB stick plugged in, we can launch the UNetbootin tool. When you start it, you will most likely be prompted by Windows for permission to run, and you will have to give those.
