Hello
I have OMV v1.13 installed, kralizec, kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64 intalled. As a survivor of a previously bricked NAS device I moved my surviving disks over to an old AMD PC to install OMV. I'm extremely pleased with OMV but have some disk configuration questions.
I have 3 devices showing up under 'Physical Disks'
dev/sda - 186 GB
dev/sdb - 1.82 TB
dev/sdc - 1.36 TB
When I set up OMV I did not configure the RAID. Of the 3 disks used, dev/sdb and dev/sdc were previously paired/configured on the NAS as RAID and dev/sda was on the old PC where OMV was intalled. Upon boot I was thrilled to access the previous RAID configuration with no loss of data. There are some status warnings though.
Under 'RAID Management' the disks show up as:
Name - blank
Device - /dev/md127
State - clean, degraded
Level - Mirror
Capacity - 1.36 TB
Devices - /dev/sdb2
Name - blank
Device - /dev/md126
State - clean, degraded
Level - Mirror
Capacity - 1.36 TB
Devices - /dev/sdc2
Its a problem that dev/sdb is a 1.82TB disk but only 1.36TB is being used, a .5TB difference.
Given this disk configuration I have two questions:
1. How can I fix the RAID status such that it does not indicate 'degraded'
2. How can I access the .5TB unused disk space on dev/sdb and use this as normal file storage? I realize that I can't RAID the unused .5TB, I just want to use it as file storage.
Any guideance the forums can provide would be greatly appreciated
