Hi,
After my first OMV installation, I noticed an annoying cranking from my HDD every second. I was even afraid that there may have been damaged during transportation...
Using iotop, I realized it was coming from ext4lazyinit process.
After a look on internet, I learned that it was coming from the way ext4 formating is done by default... it takes days to be finished !
This annoying behaviour could be override by using lazy_itable_init=0,lazy_journal_init=0 parameters for mkfs.
It takes a little longer, but then the file system initialisation is definitively done.
What do you think about that being default OMV behaviour, or at least an option ?
