First Build ... Trying to install OMV on USB Flash Drive ... no luck

  • My first NAS build ... I'm a Hitachi/Netapp guy at work but this is for myself.


    6 x 5 tb WD Green HDDs (I know ... was hoping they would be reds ...)
    4 x 4 gb Kingston KVR16E11S8/4KF Server Memory - Unbuffered ECC
    Intel Core i3 procesor
    ASRock Mini ITX Server Motherboard MT-C224
    Corsair CX 460 Gold Rated PSU


    Want ZFS Raid-5



    2 Questions ... I just tried installing OMV on a 2gb flash drive. I wrote the 2.1 amd64 img using UNETBOOTIN and installed on another flash drive (500mb - which the bios saw also)


    Tried booting the 2gb flash and am getting a blinking cursor ... :-/ I need to run this off a flash since all my sata ports are used. Should I try another flash ? Seems weird that it wouldn't boot.


    Second question, if I have a live windows usb flash-drive, can I read the ZFS partition made by OMV if I ever needed to ? Considering using Docker now but I'm worried the ZFS would choke out the ram.

    Probably grub went into the USB installer. Try again when grub install moment comes, remove the USB installer, so grub is installed into the correct flash drive. Also disconnect the other drives while installing.
