Reformatting of storage volumes required?

  • Hello,


    I haven't decided on installing OMV yet because I've got two HDDs with one volume EXT4 each.
    A 3rd HDD is for the OS, so far this has been a plain Lubuntu. And this could be for OMV on a new setup.
    BUT- will OMV require me to reformat the two storage drives, in which case all data will be lost (or will have to find a temporary place). Not keen on that.
    So can storage drives be mounted after installation without reformatting them?

    Some content might be slightly modified to mask personal settings- just to keep the sharks away, you never know :)

    Not necessary to reformat the two data disks. The os disk will be reformatted by the iso installer. Disconnect the two data drives before proceeding with install otherwise the installer can format one of the disks by accident.
