NOTE: Since 5.5.20 drives are mounted by UUID and not label any more.
Apparently the solution is a plugin openmediavault-simkinks

Update

CLI

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && omv-update

GUI

“Update Manager” in the left menu and clicking “Check“. OMV will check for updates and you can then select and click upgrade to install the upgrades.

Problems and Fixes

Missing Disk

Recently the main disk disapeared.
Under Storage>Disks was empty
Under File Systems status was missing.
Trying the disk and sata to usb dock on another computer worked.
Moving the disk and dock back to Open Media Vault computer did not fix the problem.
Issue was resolved by purchasing a new higher quality SATA to USB3 Dock.

The property ‘modules.mod_tls.nocertrequest’ does not exist in the model ‘conf.service.ftp’.

Fix still unknown.

An error has occurred: Error #0:
OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command ‘export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; omv-salt deploy run –no-color avahi 2>&1’ with exit code ‘1’:

Fix still unknown.
