Hello all,
I just installed an external storage (USB HD) and even a Nextcloud on it.
My concern is : what would happen if this storage is unexpectedly disconnected (or suddenly faulty
Will the Omnia continue with just no storage capability?
Among others can I consider that all basic settings, connection details, passwords etc. are preserved anyway?
Thank you!
Hervé
External storage basically just mounts to the /srv folder of your Omnia. Everything that’s there will be lost on external storage failure. But all settings etc. are in /etc, so they are safe. On /srv, there are large data like nextcloud storage, virtual machines and such. However, there’s a risk - if the storage gets disconnected and you don’t notice it, writing to /srv will write directly to the internal memory of Omnia, which has limited lifetime.
