[solved] installation on clean Debain 8 with existing Raid

  • Hello together.


    At the Moment i try OMV and it looks very good - think, it will become my next homeserver system.
    But I have one small problem.


    My homeserver has 3 Disks the following partitions.


    1. 512MB RAID 1 /boot
    2. 4GB Raid 5 swap
    3. 20GB Raid 5 /
    4. rest Raid 5 (data-Partition -> any mountpoint)


    When i Install OMV on the existing (and clean) Debian 8 it will not find the Raid5 Datapartition.
    Also when i delete the (Raid-)Data-Partition, i can not create a new Raid 5, because OMV want then Harddisks exclusive (as i think), and I have already the System on the Harddisks.


    When I prepare a System with all my (Raid-)Partitions as I want, is it possible to use these Partitions for build shares on it?
    (probably I am to silly to do that - but I hope I am not)


    Thanks in advance

    The design of OMV is that the OS should be on a separate drive from the data. I would add a small SSD for the OS and then create the 3 drive raid array using the OMV web interface. In order for OMV to use a filesystem for data, you must mount that filesystem in the Filesystems tab.

    omv 7.0.4-2 sandworm | 64 bit | 6.5 proxmox kernel

    plugins :: omvextrasorg 7.0 | kvm 7.0.10 | compose 7.1.2 | k8s 7.0-6 | cputemp 7.0 | mergerfs 7.0.3

    Please don't PM for support... Too many PMs!

  • Thank You ryecoaaron.


    My mistake was, that the Data-Raid-Partition was mounted to the Folder /data.
    OMV mounts in /media/....


    Unmount my Partiton an Mount it again in OMV solved the Problem.


    I know, that a separate System Disk ist the Way OMV wants, but my Atom-Board has only 4 SATA-Ports and I've 4 Drives installed.
    Further I don't like to use a USB-Device as Systemdrive.


    I use this configuration a lot of years - and You know .. You can't teach an old dog ........


    Thanks for Your help.


    Best regards
    Robert
