With the LVM plugin installed, setting up a NAS atop LVM becomes a point-and-click operation. Aside from the LVM plugin, there is also an ownCloud plugin and an external storage backup plugin. OpenMediaVault comes with 11 plugins that enhance the base functionality. LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, is supported, but only after a plugin is installed. Would have loved to see support for Btrfs.Īll the popular RAID schemes are supported. This screenshot shows the supported file systems. I think one of the popular Web frameworks was used to give it its responsive. The browser-based management interface is uncluttered. From there, you get the management interface’s username and password, which are admin and openmediavault.

You definitely won’t find the very latest and greatest Linux kernel on a distribution that’s based on Debian stable.Ī root password specified during installation is what’s used for logging into the system.
This is the distribution’s GRUB boot menu. Installation is supposed to be on a very small hard drive that will not be used for data storage, and the whole installation process takes just about 10 minutes. The installation image weighs in at 345 MB and it does not offer a Live system, which is not expected on a distribution of this sort. The rest of this post shows the different aspects of OpenMediaVault 1.0 The browser-based management interface on this latest edition is a lot better than the one that shipped with previous editions. This is a distribution you want to use if you are looking for an easy-to-use and feature-rich solution to set up a NAS for yourself. It is based on Debian 7 and uses that distribution’s ncurses installer, just like Ubuntu server. The latest version, a milestone release, is OpenMediaVault 1.0. That was when the version 0.4.11 was released. OpenMediaVault is a NAS/SAN Linux distribution that I first wrote about on this site back in January 2013.
