Let me know, What do you think of raspberry pi as a NAS?

[mjrober]

Just followed your video setting up my new raspberry pi 4 as a NAS with 2 usb drives. Worked awesome, every step was exactly as you described. Great job on the video, easy to follow!

[SleekBlack]

Brilliant video and clear on-point instructions. Followed it step-by-step and my RPI 4 is now running OMV seamlessly! Not one problem faced when following the video, everything is explained nicely by you, awesome job.

I just had to do one additional step: Had to format my External HDD to Ext4 for RPI to be able to Mount it. It was in NTFS and so RPI was unable to mount it and thew up an error message. Once formated to Ext 4 it worked. I used Disk Genius (free) to formate the HDD from NTFS to Ext4 through my main PC on Windows 10 (Pro, x64).

Thank-you very much for making this Setup Guide, was immensely helpful.

Thank you so much for a great tutorial. I tried another one but never got it to work, but yours fished the job. Now I just need bigger drives to use on the NAS and start using it.

[johnhanavan]

This worked great!!! First rate raspberry pi instructional video. I cannot wait for you to produce more raspberry pi project videos!

[siliconnubian]

Excellent tutorial. I've been in computers for a while and am a Linux user but still found your very clear instructions helpful. Cheers...

[GriffinsDen]

Came across your video after searching for this topic. Great video and precise instructions. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Any future videos on security for OMV or Raspi?

QUESTION: Can I install Open Media Vault on a Raspberry Pi that is working as Wireguard VPN Server, as well? Can it function for both features in the same time?

[RathishJebastion]

Thanks a lot brother. I have learnt lot from your videos..

[ohmcodes]

i wanted to know if i can port forward it and access it outside network, with secured login

[Robertjaymercer]

Hello and thank you for your video. Once everything is setup like explained in your video, I cannot access files that where already on my drives. I can write on it and create folders but they show empty. Can you help me fixing that problem?

[fvgoya]

I really like to watch this kind o video, turning RSPi into a NAS. However, I don't use Open Media Vault or any NAS software. For me it's much better just install SAMBA on RSBPi so I can access the HDD, from my Mac, connected into the RSBPi. It's faster and don't need to use any browser. Just the regular window (Finder).

[DanFagerburg]

my $100, 000 question is with a brand new SATA 2.5 SSD, Do you format the unused (not formatted) drive? with an RPi Linux doesn't already know what to do with the drive. When does this solid state drive have an assigned a file system to it? I would appreciate help with this, my project is NOT working and I keep returning brand new SSDs because I can't mount them in OpenMediaVault.

[FLMTrailer]

hello how to access the files outside your network

[bobpasky]

So far, I'm not impressed. I downloaded the RaspberryPi Imager. When I run it, I can select the OS, but when I go to select the SD, all I get is an empty window and then the app crashes after a few seconds.
Tried Belina Etcher, instead, but that just displays a blank app window. Any other suggestions to image the SD chip?
EDIT: Got Win32DiskImager to work for me... I think. Waiting for my power block to show up in the mail before I can fire up the Pi.

[totem]

You should try Diet pi
it much easier, it so small and light.
Because it so easy to use, even though I currently don't have rasp pi on hand. I still running it on my pc as virtual image for running pi-hole for my LAN.
Anyway, nice video!

[ngek]

bro is it possible to change into Static IP address on the network settings thru OVM? I tried it on my setup but when I restarted it, it would no longer boot properly.

[VelikoBekir]

Question: If I temporarily attached a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the RaspberryPi, can I bypass the Angry IP Scanner and PuTTY steps completely?

[kavivarman]

I have problem when I sudo apt update .... Some error would show file system read only option

So can you please reply this is enable any file system after booting

If I enable sudo raspi-config, enable file system ok to run apt update, but if I reboot ssh Is disable, again my memory card created the file ssh

[otownslinky]

how can i make one that my pops can access from his house videos pics etc can this be done?
