Hi all,
I'm pretty new to the world of NAS, so some total n00b questions here.
I have OpenMediaVault running on an old Dell XPS435 MT. It's got an i7 quad core, 12GB of RAM and a 1TB ATA internal drive which is where I've got OMV installed. (I know the specs are a bit much for this purpose, but it used to be my primary machine).
I also have hooked up two 1TB external drives and one 2TB external drive.
I managed to install OMV onto the Dell box from a USB stick.
Now I'm back at my laptop and I can access the web GUI via the IP address. I've logged in using the default admin credentials.
I want to set up Network drives so that I and others in my household can access them from our laptops.
We are a mix of PCs and Macs, so I understand that I need to create some NFS shares?
When I try to do that under the services section in the web interface, I go to
Add Share
[green + sign] next to shared folder
New dialog box -- Add a shared folder
Then, in the "Volume" drop down, I don't get any volumes listed. It feels like I'm stuck at this point, and I'm not sure what do do next.
My question is, what do I do from here?
All I really want to get started is to create some drives that we can access from our laptops on the home network. I don't see any of the physical hard drives attached to OMV showing up as available drives in my Finder on my Mac, so I am assuming I need to do something further in the web GUI, but as mentioned above I can't sort out what my next steps should be.
Thanks for the help!
