I am trying to set-up OMV 2.2.4 on my HP N40L microserver - I have decided to migrate from Windows Home Server 2011
All seems to have gone OK as regards the initial install. I have a separate Samsung SSD for the system drive and 4 x 2TB Samsung drives for the data.
I am trying to create a RAID 5 with these 4 drives. The disks have been previously wiped.
However, I am confused as to what is actually happening as when I create the raid, the process starts and says it will finish in around 400 minutes.
The display shows the following:
Name Device State Level Capacity Devices
NAS03:0 /dev/md0p3 false Raid 5 250.87 GiB /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd
NAS03:0 /dev/md0p2 false Raid 5 790.74 GiB /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd
NAS03:0 /dev/md0p1 false Raid 5 1.84 TiB /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd
NAS03:0 /dev/md0 ***** Raid 5 5.46 TiB /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd
***** = 'active, resyncing (5.9% (118208684/1953382912) finish=409.7min speed=67102K/sec
Having reviewed the documentation, I am confused as to why it appears to be setting up 4 devices (or partitions?) - I was just expecting one device.
Is what I am seeing normal and to be expected?
Thanks for any help/suggestions
