To start, I should mention that everything was working just a few hours ago.
My system consists of a single SSD, and 3 relatively new HDDs in a linear raid.
Just an hour before reformatting my SSD, my omv configuaration was stable. Navigating through "File Systems" and "RAID management" worked just fine.
I reformatted my SSD, installed debian jessie, and installed omv 3.
Whenever I click on "Raid Management" or "File Systems" in the web ui I get a "Communication Error". After reading on these forums about the issue, it seems that the likely cause is that the drives don't respond in time, indicating failure. My drives all detect under "Physical Disks", and SMART tests where run without any cause for concern. Furthermore, when ANY combination of 2/3 disks in my system is hooked up, clicking on "File Systems" or "RAID Management" doesn't give an error, the raid config simply isn't there.
I've done this once before a while back and it was simple. I reformatted OMV, I then went to file systems and it auto-detected my raid, and I mounted it without problems.
Does anyone know what's going on? SMART tests show no problems with the drives, and having AB, BC, or AC drives physically plugged in, two at a time, results in no error when clicking "File Systems" or "Raid Management".
One final thing I should note is that when I have all 3 drives hooked up and get the communication error, I hear each individual drive spinning away heavily for several minutes, making me think some huge process is started behind the scenes.
Server has an i7 and 8gb of ram, so should be able to handle this, and has handled reformats in the past.
Any advice on troubleshooting would be appreciated. If there are any logs I can track down please don't hesitate to let me know!
