Hello
I've been using OMV for something like a year, and i'm pretty much satisfied with it, it's really awesome.
Today, i remembered that i had a far better config taking dust in the basement that what i was using OMV on (an old Athlon xp 3800+ with 2Go of DDR... let me tell you it feels like a toaster for what i use OMV for ), so i decided to start a new install from scratch, of OMV 4.1 with the latest iso to then migrate everything i need migrated (knowing me it'll take time and i'll screw a few things along the way, so it allows me to keep the old server available during that time :D).
The new rig is a M4N78 ASUS PRO CM, with an AMD Athlon II X4 620 (2.6GHz), running the amd64 iso of OMV 4.1.x (the latest one), with 2 2Go DDR2 memory sticks.
The install went without problem except... the OMV Dashboard is showing 1.5 Go of RAM... out of the 4 Go installed on the machine.
I did a couple reinstall and moved around the RAM modules accross the memory banks before trying to search more info about it, but nothing did it.
In the end the results are :
- the OMV server sees the 4 GO properly, when using free -h, free -m, nmon, htop, lspci, hwinfo, lshw tools (ie : 4GO)
- the Ram in the OMV dashboard is still displayed as 1.5Go
- when i boot the machine under Kubuntu 18.03, the latest Manjaro, the latest Kali linux it shows (and displays in sysmon) the correct 4Go amount of Ram
I wonder what is wrong with the Dashboard and how that can happen.
The HDD i installed it upon was an old (like 10 years ago) linux install, but i wiped it clean with parted before installing, and it hasn't been anywhere or with anything installed on it since.
It's not really a "problem" since the system recognize the correct amount of Ram (and i really "feel" the difference during usage :D), but it irks me and pisses me off that i don't have the "correct" info reported in the dashboard.
Any idea of what can be the problem ?
I must admit i would like to solve that before moving in my config and backups and all the hdd of my old config.
