<p>Hi Jack,<br>
thanks for your suggestion.</p>
<p>However, I did a quick search for any reference related to HA but couldn't find any info.</p>
<p>Can you pls let me know if openmediavault supports clustering (e.g a two node active-passive setup)? Is the UI still functioning in the HA setup, or it needs hacking/extra development to allow clustering support?</p>
<p>Rgds,<br>
Elias</p>

Agree on OF is almost dead, openmediavault is a much better alternate<br>
with good design, featureful, easy to use.<br>
