directory/file ownership....now its greedily owned by root...

set the directory/file ownership using
chown

in OMV, to what file system did you format the HDD?

LTolledo

before that.... have you been informed about the use of NVMe drives on RPi4 as "impractical"?
and that use of standard format 2.5" SSD's is recommended....

does this scene looks awfully familiar to you?

Oh...BTW... I do (manually) transfer my photos from my Android phones
using AndSMB application....

am saving the photos to a samba share drive on another NAS, so I can edit it, an post it in the forum....

that is why I haven't been using syncthing....

I've got syncthing up and running (without OMV) on the other SBC...

Note: this is just a test install, I may or may not fully implement on a RPi

LTolledo

am testing installation syncthing installation on another SBC (I always do.... prior to RPi implementation)
using the procedure in this link

LTolledo

if you want Syncthing only... just install Syncthing so that's... RPiOS lite/minimum desktop synchthing never tried it before so probably I wont be much help there... for RAID installation.... Jeff Geerling's guide is my best bet...(well... excerpts from it) https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/bu...

LTolledo

you did not mention your LAN cables' rating

are we required to guess that?

LTolledo

am not using OS level software RAID on my setups did tested using OS level software RAID1 before using two thumbdrives (for lesser power requirement).... was unstable.... thus I abandoned it... my primary and secondary NAS are single HDD setups the contents of the primary NAS are mirrored to the sec...

For my NAS (whether RPi based or other SBC based), I never use OMV.... just plain Lite OS, and samba... system is up and running and serving in less than 20 minutes... never gave me problems... I did tried OMV two years back (on RPi3B).... more trouble than it's worth and last month tried it again (...

Just simple NAS on the RPi1B RPiOS32 Lite LAN connection HDDs in self powered case (WD Blue 6TB and Seagate Barracuda 6TB) , formatted to EXT4 Samba .... and another complementary setup as "backup" I use mainly the "blue" of the WD line of HDDs... as the other "colored HDDs&...

LTolledo

in case OMV goes "bonkers"....the solution that I will do is have a bootable RPiOS32 Desktop microSD card... and recover the data.... wait...... do I need to? I mean.... recover the data?.... heck..... I'll just install samba on the RPiOS32 desktop setup and share the whole HDD.... and am ...

TP7 and TP12 are electrically connected so yes its OK to use that.... be careful not to apply too much solder.....which might short out the 5v to the ground plane... and as stress relief... some adhesive textile electrical tape over the soldered wires... (in my setups, adhesive textile electrical ta...

LTolledo

if the HDDs were formatted in OMV as ext4.....

then w$ is oblivious/clueless/plain ignorant of that file system if connected locally to that w$ system....

as its already in a NAS, accessible in w$ as a network drive, just browse/delete/copy over over the files to that network drive...

To a hardware guy.....

....cracking open a nut using software only is "absolutely nuts"

Merry Christmas!

going back to the main question..... How many RPI do you need? unless there is a(/are) local or national legal restriction(s) into owning one..... how many can your "finance manager" approve? (or how many can your wallet provide)...? as the systems that I built based on these boards are re...

LTolledo

tell us what is the coil rating on the "12v relay" that you have...

if in doubt, post an image of the printed letter/numbers on the relay itself, and we'll inform you what that rating is...

try interchanging between the two ports... then check again then try interchanging the adapter.... then check again then try interchanging between the two ports (with the adapter interchanged already)... then check again determine on what combination the symptoms persist. are the SATA to USB adapter...

@OP.....how about....

try it out and report to us your first hand experience on the matter....
