RAID/ZFS-pool-creation - Hot plugged drives/not all drives cannot be selected for creating RAID or ZFS Pool

  • Hi,
    after a fresh install of OMV4.1.3, update to 4.1.4, installation of extras plugins, zfs plugin, i played with hot plug of the drives (/dev/sd[b-e]).


    so i

    • booted without data drives,
    • inserted the data drives,
    • clicked "update" to see the drives (yeah it worked - after setting the BIOS correctly)
    • tried to create a "ZFS pool -> no drives are shown...???
      Note: not even one disk is used by the system,
    • rebooted the system (all data drives are plugged in)
    • tried to create a "ZFS pool -> no drives are shown...???
    • (fast) wiped all data drives
    • now ist changed:

      • i can see all 4 data drives in the "create file system" Dialogue :)
        but...
      • only 2 drives (/dev/sda and drive /dev/sdb) are available for zfs pool creation ??
      • same for RAID creation..
        - only 2 drives (/dev/sda and drive /dev/sdb) are available

    As i can see:

    • a drop box is used for "File System Creation"
      this works
    • a list box (?) is used for "RAID creation" and "ZFS pool creation"
      this let me see only 2 of 4 drives


    in general, i like to see drives in the list, even i am not allowed to use them - they may be grey.
    (so i can see, they are detected, but used... - an additional tool tip or comment would be great in this case)



    following the screenshots of the disks after the hot-plug and the ZFS pool creation dialog.

    only 2 Drives are available for RAID creation:



    all Drives are available for file system creation:


    is that the ecpected behavior? do i miss something?

    • some old disks for testing..

    Thanks for reading and Best Regards,

  • Hi,


    I think that the problem is that your drives have not the same size...
