suggestion: install on debian or from iso?

latimeria · 9. September 2014

Hello all,
as OMV 1.0 is coming up and I'll plan a fresh install can you show me some pros and cons of installing it from iso image or from package repo on a debian 7 server machine?
Many thanks

There are no real pros and cons as you install the exact same no matter how you do it. It is a bit easier to install it via Volkers ISO than by hand.

One Pro argument of installing debian first and omv from package repo is that you can create partions on your system disk.

For example:
I'm using a 240GB SSD. I choosed one 20GB partion for my root system and one 220GB for data that you can use in OMV for Shares, VM's, etc...

If you use an OMV-ISO the whole system disk will be for your root system.(correct me here when I'm wrong).

You are correct but you can easily re-partition the system disk after installing OMV.
