Hi everyone
I tried to search for a solution for this online, but came empty handed.
Everytime I tried to use Etcher to flash the SD card with an installation of OMV for an SBC (I'm using Odroid XU4) the resulting partition is almost always under the total size of the SD card and I end up with a huge amount of empty space that I'm having trouble reassigning to /root folder.
Steps taken:
I'm using windows for Etcher because I only have a mini SD card connection on my Surface tablet and my Linux machine has no way to flash the SD card.
1) downloaded the recent OMV for SBC
2) formatted the card using Windows
3) flashed it using etcher and the file
4) in most cases either only 1/2 of the card or in some cases only 1GB of the entire space (even for 64gb card) are used for the /root and the rest remains empty
5) I tried to do fdisk/resize2fs afterwards but because I'm doing it from the Odroid itself, it never works as intended (tells me the files are being used)
6) interestingly, even though I use parted to change the partition size and fdisk to create a new partition, the space allocation remains unchanged
In all cases, when I do df-h the space shown seems to be correct and is displayed as it should be displayed (so e.g. 64gb card was showing 63gb free following the parted/resize2fs method) but when I login into web interface of OMV, it shows the old data and eventually says "no more space"
Do I need to format my cards as ext4 filesystem before doing the flashing with OMV?
Any idea why the partition always comes out so small?
Thank you!
