Like, I've had this Raspberry Pi / OMV based home NAS setup running for years & then all of a fucking sudden it decides that I can get so fucked that even trying to start over from scratch stalls without explanation at not even being able to connect to the freshly-reinstalled Pi OS 🙄

I mean, I had no plans for today but really, fucking why is it like this!?

Could be because of some problem in RasPi OS, the OMV project's infrastructure, hosting systems or even requiring a different version of a library package than your version of RPi OS has... may be good to re-check the minimum requirements for OMV in case you need to switch out OS version, or now need a newer Pi board or something. Good luck. If you have any tech questions you can't sort out yourself, I'm happy to chime in (but I don't have all the answers, though I know the environment quite well).

I don't know your exp level with linux, not trying to teach you to suck eggs, but here are some hints: It's often easier to debug a pi using a dedicated monitor and keyboard. If you can't do that, are you able to open a second SSH session to the Pi? If so check you're not out of disk space (df), or memory (free) and look at the logs (less /var/log/....). There can be other things, like bad "sectors" on the memory card, network dropouts, package versions out of spec, or problems with other attached storage (if you have it). "top" is useful if you need to see what processes are running.

Worth trying another one.
