About this tag
The tag omv covers discussions about OpenMediaVault (OMV), a Debian-based network attached storage (NAS) operating system. Content includes troubleshooting Samba server visibility in Windows 11 network discovery, where OMV's use of Avahi/mDNS for service advertisement is contrasted with manual Samba configurations. Users explore why OMV servers appear automatically in Windows Network Explorer while other Samba setups do not, highlighting OMV's integration of Zeroconf and mDNS. The tag is relevant for Windows users managing NAS devices or file sharing with OMV systems.
Problem Summary
The Samba server on Debian Trixie did not appear automatically in Windows Network Explorer, unlike on Armbian Bookworm + OMV which appeared directly and prompted for credentials.
