So I've added 2 3TB WD Reds, formatted to ext4 and mounted them. But when I come to setup a mirror no drives are listed, not even the OS drive.
Any help would be great as I can't figure out why they would not be listed.

Are they listed under Physical Disks tab ?
Yes they are.
Alles anzeigenI think you got it out of order. The RAID management window does not display drives with a file system on them.
First, for your 2 WD Reds, un-mount and delete the files systems.
1. Wipe the drives
2. Setup a raid mirror (use Mirror - if using Storage, RAID Management)
3. Then format the mirror with EXT4

Since you have two drives ready to go, and if you're running OMV3.X can I talk you into a ZFS mirror? With file scrubbing and self healing, you'd be better off.
If you have omvextras installed, there's a plugin to setup ZFS in the GUI. If you're interested, I can provide details.
Thank you, and yes I'm easy and will try a ZFS.

Do you have omvextras installed? In plugin's is the ZFS plugin named openmediavailt-zfs 3.0.18 available?
Another question - Do you know how to use the CLI?
Yes I have extras and have installed ZFS but have some experience with the CLI
Crappers.
Remove the ZFS plugin.
On the command line do the following:
Then install it again.
You are running OMV 3.0.X right?
Yes, thing is it did actually install and I have a ZFS mirror setup and running. Even got my first folder added and shared via SMB/CIFS, just need to figure out why my Windows PC can't see the server of share.
OK! Well, you got a bit ahead of where I thought you'd be. Delete your SMB share, and the underlaying share first.
You'll need to do the following, or your base permissions will be like those on a Solaris server. (You want Linux permissions.) It's easier to do this from the command line, versus editing your mirror in the GUI.
On the command line: In the following, yourpoolname = whatever you named the pool. (Use notepad or something so you can copy and paste it in.)
zfs set aclinherit=passthrough yourpoolname
zfs set acltype=posixacl yourpoolname
zfs set xattr=sa yourpoolname
zfs set compression=lz4 yourpoolname
After the above is set, then you can go back to setting the shared folder, then layer an SMB share on top of it.
In permissions for your new Share folder, give "Others" "Read/Write/Exec"
Then, in the SMB share, In Public set Guests Allowed and unset "Read Only". (If it's green, make it grey or off)
Actually, after you edit the pools, it might be best if you reboot with the new attributes set, before setting up shares. (It might not be required, I'm trying to remember when I did it the last time, but it wouldn't hurt anything.)
Also, Windows is kind of weird in that way too. If you have your new SMB share on your network, it might be best to either log off and on, or reboot the Windows Client.
If your SMB share still doesn't show up, check the windows workgroup name, versus what you have in OMV under SMB/CIF in the Settings TAB.
Sorry,, we're doing this in real time and it was a typo. I revised it, but not in time.
zfs set xattr=sa yourpoolname
(FYI: ZFS1 is the name of my pool)
I think you're pretty much on the right track.

Last Notes: (Going to watch a show with the wife)
The GUI sets data scrubs for your pool automatically so you won't have to configure scrub jobs. (Google ZFS scrub to understand what it is.)
If you want to see the status of your pool, it's available in the GUI. In ZFS, click on your pool name and on the right hand side, click on details.

There's a lot of info on the net regarding ZFS. Find a ZFS primer and look it over, when you get the time.
Finally note that ZFS, or any other form of RAID, is not BACKUP. Get something to backup with, even if it's an external drive.
Thank you for the help. Still shares are working but will post issue to SMB forum.
