I am trying to install OMV on a Dell server with 192 gig RAM and a 120 gig SSD disk. The issue is the partitioning makes the swap file 117 gig which doesn't leave anything for the OS. There doesn't seem to be a way to change this. Once I am to the point the installer asks if I want to write the automatic partitioning to disk, seems to imply I can change it if I don't like it but when I click "no" it just returns to the same screen.
The graphical Debian installer will let me partition the disk and finish the install, but OMV doesn't have this as an option.
Hallo! Ich verzweifele langsam: Ich Nutze OMV 4.1.29 auf einem Raspberry 4 mit 2 MB RAM. Duplicati bekomme ich, trotz schon mehrmaliger Neustarts und -installationen nicht zum laufen. Der Prot steht auf 8200, die IP habe isch auf 0.0.0.0 oder auch schon 192.168.8.50 (das ist die IP des OMV) gestellt und den Dienst selbstverständlich aktiviert und die Änderungen wirklsam werden lassen. Keine Chance: Das Open Web Interface ist nicht erreichbar. Weder aus meinem Firefox noch aus anderen Browsern auf meinem PC. Auch ein Neustart der System brachte nichts. Im Dashboard wird Duplucati als "aktiviert" grün gekennzeichnet, bei "läuft" ist der Punkt rot. Ich weiß nicht weiter... Danke schon einmal für Eure Hilfe!

I am hoping OMV will add a better installer to the image you get here.

Hey Mochi - yes I didn't realize it actually failed to install! Yes, agreed it would be helpful if omv gave you a little more control here. For example, if…
Hey gderf,
Thanks again for your reply!
1. Got curious, can confirm that solution worked for me as well. As I hadn't yet disabled the swap via the flash memory plugin, I got a boot delay looking for 4e98474e-c52b-42b3-996c-d46e6ffbb5b9. Once flash…
@ koken - The problem I had was I couldn't finish the install because the installer doesn't allow me to edit the partitions myself. As soon as I click yes to the partitions it recommends, it immediately starts installing the OS and the disk I have…
That mb has three pcie slots. One dell perc h200 can give you 8 sata ports plus the ones in the mb. There are other sas controllers that can supply 16 ports.
If you are concerned about the disk having a swap partition, but don't want to give up swap completely, you can run a swap file on the OS partition and then delete the swap partition. Google for how to do that.
But like I said, I have only 16GB of RAM,…

Thanks for your reply, gderf. I actually saw a suggesting like this and didn't want to try again but thanks I suppose this one is the answer! I *think* I…
I wonder if this is kind of similar to the issue I just dealt with. Have you tried booting on a system-rescue-cd.org usb, then using gparted to *shrink* the swap partition? This worked for me, but I would recommend KEEPING SOMETHING for the swap (I…
I verify that OMV is up and running by SSHing into it. My OMV machine is headless and not in a convenient to reach location.
Not using swap here never cause the system to not boot. What that did cause was a delayed boot because the "mdadm no arrarys"…
