There is a custom tab in omv extras to add whatever repo you want.
So Extended_file_attributes were used to lock sources.list.
I didn't know such attributes existed. (and I thought I knew things about permissions and filesystems under linux)
Whoever implemented or requested the locking of sources.list -> thanks for letting me learn new stuff 
Well, you still shouldn't add repos in /etc/apt/sources.list. They should be added through a new list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
The files in sources.list.d aren't any less important. It really doesn't matter where you put the lts repo.
It has to do with people adding repos (typically ubuntu or linux mint) and causing LOTS of problems that they don't understand. It has helped us mods a lot with support.
That is why the Custom TAB in OMV Extras was created. To make it easy for people to add repos and keep them organized. This also prevents people from screwing up their sources.list which was wasting a lot of our mod's time. Not all of the foreign Debian mirrors were working correctly 100 percent of the time. When the mirrors had problems it was creating errors. By everyone being on the same repo for sources.list we don't have to waste time figuring out if there is a repo issue in a mirror.
Lots of reasons...
Zitat von "tekkbebe"... This also prevents people from screwing up their sources.list ...
For me this is the main reason. When people only add repos this is no problem at all. But changing the standard repos they need for updating OMV and keeping it stable...
Btw. you now know how it is done. So no need to deinstall omv-extras... You can simply unlock it.
We do not want to prescribe anyone anything. But as you do not have any disadvantages using the sources.list.d folder the standard file is locked.
Warning. Do not put that on forum. If you want to do that do it via pm.

Agree w/ this completely.
Adding repos is still exceptionally simple. With so many newbs who have zero Linux experience trying OMV... it's a lot easier not trying to troubleshoot their "default" sources, when they've not had an attempt at typos, etc. while changing their default sources list.
I need to edit this file because I was there the old repositories that now have a crash error
PM sent.
Hi WastlJ,
I have a crash error, on my sever I have updated the sources for Squeeze-LTS. I have followed the suggestion in your OMV blog:

Debian Squeeze does not get any official updates anymore. To still
get security updates for your OMV 0.5.x installation you have to use
the Debian Squeeze LTS package repository. Check out
https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using how to add this to your APT
configuration.
Posted in: MiscNow I have to remove two lines in sources.list, please can you send me (in PM) the instructions to remove those lines ?
Thank you in advance!
Sent.

No need to. Squeeze-LTS will be replaced with 'wheezy' on upgrading.
Greetings
