Hello,
I installed OMV on an Raspberry PI some days ago. The usage with SMB is no problem (from Windows and Android).
Now I can't select a device from each menu or window.
The "Physical Disk" is correct, and the shown devices and labels on "File Systems" too.
But each menu, where I shall select a device, there is no one listed.
In System Info -> Status -> Disk usage: It is empty
Actual OMV-Version: 1.0.31
I'm new in using this system. Please explain me, which way I have to repaire my system.
Did you mount the filesystem after your created it?
The disk was earlier used in other systems, like a backup-disk in windows.
I remember the disk (with 2 parts /sda1 and /sda2) were automatically detected and mounted.
Filesystem is ntfs and all shown in "File Systems".
After installing OMV in Oktober there was all fine. And I build the shares in SMB-Configuration.
Give results of this:
cat /etc/fstab
Here the result:

Ntfs is your problem. There is been a lot of changes in omv lately that have made ntfs play not so well with omv. The is a fix coming in the next release I believe for ntfs. But I would recommend you to use ext3/4 for your drives.
Where are you trying to select a volume??? You have 2 devices mounted already. Once they are mounted they do not show in the drop down for create file systems.
I am not sure if disk usage info shows for ntfs drives. Did it show before. I don't use ntfs with my OMV. I only use ext4 file systems. I would have to check if you do not remember.
NTFS drives should only be mounted on temporary basis to move data. They should not be used as a permanent solution.
Thank you for your "bad" info about ntfs.
I'm sure disk-info showed the ntfs-drives before. It's prssible the problem came with OMV 1.0.31 or .30.
Do you know when the next release should come, which fix the problem?
Or should I try to copy my files and format/remount the drives by using ext4?
You problem with disk usage may be fixed with 1.0.32. It should be out sometime this week.
Where there is support for NTFS (by the ntfs-3g implementation), as pointed by @tekbb this is not native linux, you will encounter permission problems frequently. If you need to access from windows to those drivers from a direct plug try the windows ext2/3 driver.
Ok. I will wait some days for 1.0.32 and try again. Thank you.
Perhabs I will change my filesystem later to solve this pending problem for the future.
So I will close this theme when the new release is installed an the problem is resolved. oK?
Do what you have to do to get data drives as ext4. It will save you a lot of headaches.
Until now, I made a backup of my drive.
Today I cut the usage in SMB of 1 drive, deleted the shared folders and deleted the "free" drive.
Now I'm trying create a new file system. But on "create" there is no device to select.
What shall I try now to format the device in ext4?
There must be something still on the drive. It needs to be completely emtpy. Burn an ISO of gparted and boot to it. Make sure to delete anything on the drive.
Thank you for all.
First I tried to use one part of my device for ext4 and there gone something wrong.
Now I cleared the complete device - and now it works fine.
