So as stated in a previous thread I basically have 6 drives on an Adaptec 6805E. I put them in as JBOD because I want to manage my raid through software. I configured a RAID 6 array with all 6x4TB drives using OMV (md127). I then used the OMV LVM plugin/extra (whatever is the proper name) and created a physical group, volume group, and logical volume but have not created an fs.
Question is, do I just then create an EXT4 FS on this new volume? I want to be able to grow this array vertically and horizontally (possibly replace the 4TB disks with 6TB at some point or alternatively expand the array to 8 4TB drives).
Have I configured this correctly? Can I just format and start moving my media over? WOuld really like to get some experienced thoughts before I commit to this.
Cheers
