Installing #OpenMediaVault on the #RaspberryPi so far... has been kind of a headache, despite how it always seemed 'simple' on other people's videos... Kinda wondering if I'm better off, just, setting up #SnapRAID, #mergerfs, and #Samba/#CIFS manually.

I don't think I need
#OMV specifically, using the Pi as a simple #SMB share that I also happen to run some #Docker services on, I just thought it'd be neat to finally try out OMV, after having only used and been familiar with #TrueNAS all this while.

More #Systemd tips:

If you need to mount a #cifs share on boot, add

,_netdev,x-systemd.automount

to your mount options.

My use case was that I had to offload my Movies folder to another server, so Jellyfin was starting up with an empty Movies library, and after I restored the mount it would rebuild the entire library, an hours-long process.

So, got that wrangled and our network is, once again, reliably entertaining.

The in-laws were here yesterday and I was gonna show Jellyfin off.

If there are any CIFS/SMB experts floating around, does it seem accurate or absurd that deleting a file in a folder tree has a different effect on the timestamps of the folders "above" it than deleting a folder?

If dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/hello.txt is the structure, dir1 is "above" dir3.

Ich habe ein #NextCloud Problem.

In dem Data Verzeichnis der NC ist ein #CIFS Share gemountet, das die relevanten Daten enthält.

Dieses Verzeichnis ist per NC mit Passwort freigebeben.

Funktioniert prima.
Problem: Das CIFS Share bricht alle paar Tage mal weg, ein Cronjob hängt es dann wieder ein - kein Ding.
Aber das NC Share ist danach weg.

Kein Fehler im Log, kein Eintrag in der Liste der Shares. Einfach weg.

Was tun?

Alternativ: Kann ich per #OCC Befehl das Share wieder erstellen?

@landley *nodds in agreement*
#SMB / #CIFS is just predominant because it's the bare minimum aka. worst standard to get files exchanged and provide transparent access to clients.

#NFS & #iSCSI failed outside of enterprises where the configuration overhead is justified by the performance and granularity one can get.

#Apple's proprietary replacements of IETF standards was just the same as Microsoft did, but with documentation.
