No-mount switch when installed on raspbian

[vondravl]

Hi, everything functions well when using on external drive. But I'm struggling to make it work without external drive. I tried both specify mount-dir (which is /home/pi directory) and no-mount switch, but also either specify mount-dir or no-mount switch but no option worked. Is it possible to use it without external drive? If so, how should I modify ExecStart in “/lib/systemd/system/lomod.service”?

@vondravl sorry to hear that. For raspbian, it has to use external drive, or NFS / SAMBA mount because SD card capacity is not enough. May I know why you don't want to use external drive? Did you boot from one HDD drive / USB drive instead of SD card?

@dwebfan Yes I'm booting already from ssd drive and I would like to use it. Is it possible to make workaround by using samba mount which is on the same ssd as lomorage? How would ExecStart in “/lib/systemd/system/lomod.service” look like? I tried: ExecStart=/opt/lomorage/bin/lomod -b /opt/lomorage/var --mount-dir /<ip-address>/<share-folder> --max-upload 1 --max-fetch-preview 3 and also ExecStart=/opt/lomorage/bin/lomod -b /opt/lomorage/var --mount-dir smb://<ip-address>/<share-folder> --max-upload 1 --max-fetch-preview 3 but neither worked for me

@vondravl please try this one

ExecStart=/opt/lomorage/bin/lomod --mount-dir <absolute path of share-folder> --no-mount-mon

Almost working, I can see and choose the directory when creating a user, but creating is failing ("Failed to create user").

@vondravl , could you send "/opt/lomorage/var/log/lomod.log" to support@lomorage.com? Or you can check the log and post error/warn messages here.

@vondravl , we've confirmed there is a bug and we will fix it and release a new version this week. Thank you for reporting this, will let you know once it's ready.

@vondravl , you can update and try again, should be notice that changing ExecStart is not recommended since it may be override when upgrade, you can use the environment file instead, see https://docs.lomorage.com/docs/Installation/lomorage-service/installation-raspbian/#3-configuration-parameter-customization.

You can use "LOMOD_DISABLE_MOUNT_MONITOR=1" to disable the mount monitoring, and use "LOMOD_MOUNT_DIR" to specify the media directory for backup.

@vondravl , was the problem fixed after you upgraded?

Sorry I didn't have the patience to debug the whole thing. I switched to other software.
