If you want to set up a NAS really fast and manage it easily, then
1515
|omv| is the right solution for you. If you want to use a really
1616
free software where you are not a beta tester for a commercial

variant, then |omv| is also a solution for you.

2525
Yes, but the installation does not have any optimizations to reduce writes
2626
into the OS disk. The usb media will most likely start failing within a
2727
few weeks of usage. Most common symptom is basic command execution does
2828

6161
It is the database configuration store file for |omv|. When a change is

Yes. But the end is most likely a broken |webui| and possibly broken

--------------------------------------------------
7373
Simply connect via ssh into the server or login locally on the machine

and type in: :command:`omv-firstaid`. There is an option to reset the

|webui| password.

There is no regular backup/restore procedure, but yes, in some way:
8080
keep the file :file:`/etc/openmediavault/config.xml` for references
8181
purposes if the option is to go for a clean re-install.

8989
Yes, but is not supported. Eventually every |omv| package upgrade will

9191
instance next to Nginx is possible, just make sure the ports are different

154154
The default is folders in ``2775`` mode, with ``root:users`` ownership.

This means all users created in the |webui| can read, write to folders
156156
created by the system in the data drives using the default. The setgid allows

:command:`omv-salt` is a terminal console command that is used by the

backend of |omv| to pipe directives and values to service configuration
172172
files. The arguments that :command:`omv-salt` accepts are related to the

How to troubleshoot an error caused by an "Option" parameter passed to a plug-in?

To find the root cause, run the faulty systemd unit file yourself by executing::
3939

4040
systemd restart <plug-in-daemon>
4141

4242
If output of <plug-in> is now more verbose, then you will get a hint on STDOUT. If not, then you need to run ``journalctl -f`` in parallel to get the syslog output. Admittedly, not really novice friendly, but it's really not possible to do it any other way. OMV always tries to be as error/debug friendly as possible; by default.

|omv| provides an `UDEV rules database <https://github.com/openmediavault/openmediavault/pull/746>`_ which will fix that issue for several USB PATA/SATA bridge controllers.
