RaspPI, 200gb sdcard, version 4 - Solved

brianmac · 30. September 2018

newbie, first time using openmdeiavault
I installed version 4 to an 200gb sdcard and installed in a raspberry PI. I am not using any other drives, just the 200gb sdcard.

I show two file systems total about 70gb. How do i create a third partition with the remaining 192gb to use for storage?
/dev/mmcblk0p1 boot vfat 62.01 MiB
/dev/mmcblk0p2 ext4 7.15 GiB

thanks for any help and sorry if this is basic, i did try to search the forums...

In the GUI of OMV:
Storage / File System / Create-Button

Thanks, it doesn't show any device and you can't type in anything....

I remember something about you cannot use the same drive where OMV is installed (I'll try to search something about it, maybe I am wrong).

EDIT:

"The whole disc will be occupied by the system and swap space [1], so size doesn’t matter so much. Data storage on the system disc is not supported."

Code

- A third partition for data use will be automatically resized on first
    boot but you have to format it manually with the fs of your choice!

For example:

Code

mkfs.btrfs /dev/mmcblk0p3

PS - this software is pretty sharp for small low powered devices - like the Raspberry PI...
