Upgrade ODROID-XU4 to OpenMediaVault 3

This short tutorial will show you how to upgrade a ODROID-XU4 running OpenMediaVault 2 to OpenMediaVault 3.
OMV 3 (Erasmus) uses Debian 8 (Jessie) instead of 7 (Wheezy). So alongside OMV you will get new packages as well.

  1. Make a backup of your current installation!
  2. Make sure your system is up-to date by running: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  3. Reboot
  4. Uninstall all plugins including the OMV-Extras package
  5. Before you upgrade you should change your boot.ini and /etc/fstab.
    Mount your boot partition like this:

    mkdir /media/boot
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/boot
  6. Then edit your /media/boot/boot.ini and change ro to rw in the setenv line. The line should look like below: 
    setenv bootrootfs "console=tty1 console=ttySAC2,115200n8 root=UUID=<YOUR_ROOTFS_UUID> rootwait rw fsck.repair=yes"
  7. Record your rootfs UUID
  8. Afterwards edit your /etc/fstab and add the following above the openmediavault volumes: 
    # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM
UUID=<YOUR_ROOTFS_UUID> / ext4 errors=remount-ro,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
# >>> [openmediavault]
[...]
  9. Finally run omv-release-upgrade and reboot afterwards
  10. Now you can install the OMV-Extras package for OMV 3 and your plugins again: 
    wget 
dpkg -i openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all3.deb
apt-get update
