I downloaded OMV_4_Raspberry_Pi_2_3_3Plus.img.xz and flashed a Raspberry Pi 3 (32GB microSD memory) with it. (Yes, I have seen the warnings about how the RPI is not an ideal SBC to run a NAS.) Gave the RPI a static IP address on my LAN and can reach it and log in via web interface and ssh.
But I can't see any storage to get started configuring a NAS.
Attempting to follow instructinos here:
Building an Open Media Vault NAS (Part 3- Configuring OMV)

First tried a USB-powered 2.5" disk (2GB), but couldn't understand what the web UI was showing under Disks or File Systems. Then read about power limitations of the RPI possibly being insufficient to power an outboard USB drive, so I abandoned the disk and tried a 128GB USB drive.
The flash drive is formatted to HFSplus so it's visible on my Mac. Wanted to reformat it to ext4 for use in the NAS. When plugged into the RPI, fdisk -l (via ssh) shows:
- /dev/mmcblk0 at 29.8 GiB (the microSD memory card);
- 16 disks named /dev/ramXX at 4MiB each; and
- 4 disks named /dev.zramX at 122.1 MiB each.
No sign of a 128GB USB.
The web UI shows this under Disks:
[ Note: the following two excerpts are unreadable because they cannot be made monospaced. Please see http://dawson.nu/misc/filesystems.txt for what they should look like. ]
--------
Device Model Serial Number Vendor Capacity
/dev/mmcblk0 n/a n/a n/a 29.81 GiB

(Click Scan & nothing changes.) Under File Systems:
--------

/dev/disk/by-label/Media hfsplus n/a n/a n/a No No Missing
idev/mmcblkOpl boot vfat 62.01 MiB 40.39 MiB 21.62 MiB Yes No Online
fdevimmcblkOp2 ext4 7.15 GiB 5.80 GiB 1.24 GiB Yes Yes Online

The hfsplus volume can't be mounted; select it under File Systems and Mount stays dimmed.
So how do I even begin?
