Hi folks!
I've got 2 disks right now, the first one 640 GB and the other one 500 GB
My idea was, partition the bigger one, leave something like 100 GB for the system and then use the remaining space in Raid 1 with the other disk.
There's a way to do this? I've tryed but seems impossible!
Thanks a lot!
You need to partition the bigger disk. You need to boot gparted to do that or reinstall omv just using Debian, then installing omv on top.
the omv installer uses the whole disk as system os.
yeah i've made it, right now i've the SO in the bigger disk, swap and more than the dimension on the smaller disk in unpartitioned space!
But how i do this?
sorry for double, dunno why i can't edit
I mean, on OMV web interface i can't see the blank partition of the bigger disk under "RAID" section. I can see it if i format it but for make the raid seems like i need an unformatted drive.
Right now i have:
640 GB Disk: 40 GB SO / 8 GB SWAP / rest unpartitioned
500 GB Disk: Unpartitioned
On RAID section i can only see the whole 500gb disk and not the other disk, neither partitioned or unpartitioned (when partitioned i always mean EXT 4)
BTW I'm on OMV 2.1
i am not sure if the webui supports this raid creation. Someone mentioned some time ago but I don't know if it was corrected or not. So my guess is you have to do it cli
@ryecoaaron should know better.
that's not a problem, i just need some hints on how to do this if it's possible! But for now TY a lot, i'll take a look if i can find something useful for my needs in the cli
OMV doesn't use partitions. So, you can only use completely blank drives. If you want to create the array from cli, it will show up in the OMV web interface though.
so as i tought i need more drive, ok nevermind, ty!
Last question:
Can i RAID 2 disks of different size? in particular the disks i talked about, 640 and 500 gb, obviously losing space from the bigger one
What he says it that you can create the array in that form but you need to do it cli. Then you should be able to mount it in the webui
and you can have different size, but won't be bigger than the smaller one
sorry my fault, misunderstood.
Trying to figuring out how to make it!
