You need to install from a Debian Wheezy iso, not the OMV installer. After debian is installed you can install OMV on top. Check the guide section
How to do lvm?

Thanks I resolved all with lvm, the problem now is that I don't know how to create home folder for each user (student).
I have to make a folder for each class that it is in my school. Inside each class I want to create folders for every students that are in that class and I want that the student can modify only his folder and he can't see what is in other folders of others students. How can I do it? -
After this all omv users will have their folders there. Share those home folders with samba using the home folder option

But if there are 4 students for example:
- jonny
- alex
- lucy
- silvia
Jonny and Alex are in the class 1A, but Lucy and Silvia are in the class 2B. If I do how you explain to me, their folders go in /dev/sda1/home. So after this, I have to move these user-folders in the appropriate class? -

This is not how home folders are organized. If you want that you have to modify the /etc/passwd file. Where every linux user has defined his home folder, and make it as you wish.

The problem is that I want that when I create the users Jonny and Alex their home-folders go in 1A, and when I create users Lucy and Silvia their home-folders go in 2B.
So i want these paths:
/classes/1A/Jonny
/classes/1A/Alex
/classes/2b/Lucy
/classes/2b/Silvia
where Jonny,Alex,Lucy and Silvia can modify only their own folders and they can't see what is in another folders.
Sorry for my english but I'm Italian. -

Hi.
I've got the same problem. I was trying to "have fun" and play with LVM.
Yesterday, I had installed fresh copy of OMV on my new machine with x64 Intel and 3 disks:
* 60GB SSD (system OS)
* 3TB HDD Seagate IronWolf
* 3TB HDD Seagate BarracudaI've installed LVM2 plugin with no problem. Then, I've tried to create Physical Volume in Storage » Logical Volume Management - with no luck.
Device list is empty, I cannot choose or dropdown anything.So, I've created a ext4 partition on Barracuda, just to check if it helps.
I've got 2 entries now in File Systems:
* /dev/sda1 - ext4 - system disk
* /dev/sdc1 - ext4 - test drive
* and still one disk is "unused" - IronWolfBut I still cannot create any Physical Volume in LVM...

You probably need to wipe the drives. But why are you using LVM with individual physical drives? I don't see much benefit from doing this. You don't want to pool them with LVM because a disk failure would cause you to lose everything. And you can't resize a physical disk.
-
I just wanted to try it, out of curiosity.
Anyway, no method worked.
Even after wiping the drives. -

Even after wiping the drives.Did you have a zfs signature on these drive by any chance?
-
No, it was formatted and wiped by GParted even before I put my machine together, and then I wipe both of them with OMV GUI, just to be sure.

A lot of wiping utilities don't remove the zfs signature though. That is why I asked. I have never seen a drive not show up when it was 100% blank with no signatures unless the OS didn't see it either.
