Never more than 5 data disks for each OMV machine ?

  • Hi all.


    I'm migrating from a now defunct well known raid distro :) Data were moved away so the HW platform is now blanked.


    CPU opteron 4 cores
    8 Gb RAM
    1 x HW raid for system mirror, presented capacity 80 GB
    8 x 500 Gb sata disks on 4 x double sata controlers


    Problem: my machine features 8 data disks, ALL are visible on "disk" menu item (/dev/sdb -> /dev/sdi), but I cannot use them all!


    Only 5 are presented on raid menu pannel, even if 8 are actually visible (GUI and CLI).


    I even cannot create two sets of 4 disk each, once the first is created, only one remain available for the second raidgroup, total usable is blocked at FIVE !


    Question: Has OMV a hard limit to handle NO MORE than 5 data disks ?


    I installed the LVM plugin since this is the good way to aggregate PV > VG > LV but again not more than 5 disks among 8 usable!


    Regards

  • OK I give up with this creepy pile of software sh*t.


    Thought this was a serious piece of work, in fact this OMV is only a toy for kids with cracked HBO series on their NAS... with not more than 5 disks.


    Switch to FreeNas 11, installed successfully, all disks recognized, fast and supported.


    Erased account.

    Bye.


    Just for the record in case someone comes across this in a search... OMV does not have a limit of 5 hard drives (that's ridiculous). OP was having some other issue which he was clearly to impatient to troubleshoot.
