As the weeks pass by, new services are being developed and added to OpenMediaVault.
Volker Theile has implemented the following services:
OpenMediaVault will act as Rsync server if this is enabled. Also scheduled Rsync jobs are supported which can be local or remote, where remote also support the push and pull modes. The user permission thing is a little bit tricky for Rsync modules when acting as a server,
The general SMB/CIFS service frontend and backend has been finished. Currently no Active Directory support has been implemented because i do not have enough knowledge about this feature, also i do not have a Windows Server installation for testing.
The S.M.A.R.T. management has been finished now. It is possible to view and configure various S.M.A.R.T. parameters like the scan interval, temperature monitoring and scheduled tests
What is rsync?
rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. rsync is freely available under the GNU General Public License and is currently being maintained by Wayne Davison.
What is SMB / CIFS?
The Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol, and as implemented in Microsoft Windows is known as Microsoft SMB Protocol. The set of message packets that defines a particular version of the protocol is called a dialect. The Common Internet File System (CIFS) Protocol is a dialect of SMB. Both SMB and CIFS are also available on VMS, several versions of Unix, and other operating systems.
What does S.M.A.R.T. stand for?
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, or S.M.A.R.T. (sometimes written as SMART), is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures.
