My first OMV

Hey Community,

ive built some NAS and SAN systems for private and commercial use. But now its time to make my first OWM install and i want to share my experience.

Picked Hardware:

ASRock Q2900M
BeQuite - TFX Power 2 300W
8 * 3TB WD Red @ IBM1015 (aka LSI 9211-8i)
2 * 4GB DDR3
120 GB SSD
Silverstone SST-GD08B

Installation Issues:

- The SDD was not new, so there was somekind of a broken mbr. The Installation was looping around the partitioning. Aborted, wiped /dev/sda (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=8)... rebooted and here we go.
- My first contact with the Web-GUI ... WOW! nuf said (just a little annoying Session Managment)
- Just wondering about the Small Swap Partition

In this moment:

md0 : active raid5 sdi[7] sdh[6] sdg[5] sdf[4] sde[3] sdd[2] sdc[1] sdb[0]
20510945280 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/8] [UUUUUUUU]
[=============>.......] resync = 68.3% (2003759956/2930135040) finish=304.1min speed=50754K/sec

After that, i will plex givin a try.

Im ok with that...

I finished the ground config. Now its time to get a "plex client" on a lightweight desktop... I dont want to use an extra pi or something, because there a picked a board with apu + hdmi to connect my tv.

Goal: lxde + plex or kodi

Some hints, ideas how tos?

Doing a small workaround... Using the Plex Plugin in Kodi.

*thump up

Im not happy with that Solution.. No Audio, Resulotion is bad. Kind of flickering...

So ill give the plexpi a try

Moin moin,

yeah thats rly a good question.

Thats better so no need for omv for me. Ill be back if seperating nas and and htpc.
