[SOLVED] New Disk Not in Dropdown Lists for Selection

I added a new 8TB disk to my OMV 4.1.6 server today to use as an additional SnapRAID parity drive but I am having a problem.

The steps I took to add the disk were as follows:

1) Shut down OMV
2) Added the disk to the machine.
3) Booted OMV
4) Went to the OMV GUI | Storage | Disks and pressed the Scan Button, then saw the new disk appear in the list as /dev/sdg with g being the highest letter in the list.
5) Went to Storage | File Systems and pressed the Create button. selected HGST HDN728080AL [/dev/sdg, 7.27 TiB] from the Device drop-down list (the only available item in the list), gave it a Label: dp2, and selected EXT4 for the File system, then pressed the OK button.
6) Filesystem was successfully created, so I pressed the Close Button and then on the same page in the GUI I mounted the disk. Attached is a screenshot of this.
7) Next in the GUI I went to Services | SnapRAID | Drives and pressed the Add button. Under Select a drive drop-down list, all previously existing drives are available for selection, but not the newly added drive.
8)) I also tried to add a Shared folder under Access Rights Management but the newly added disk is not available in the Device drop-down list there either.
9) Next I rebooted the machine, but still the problem remains. The newly added disk does not appear in any drop-down lists.
10) In a shell I can navigate to /srv/dev-disk-by-label-dp2 and can create files and directories on the disk. But it still will not appear in any drop-down list withinthe OMV GUI.

What am I doing wrong?

The disk is there in conf.system.filesystem.mountpoint:

{"uuid": "7600de21-f23d-440b-883a-9a3ad542b12b", "type": "ext4", "hidden": false, "opts": "defaults,nofail,user_xattr,exec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,acl", "dir": "srv/dev-disk-by-label-dp2", "passno": 2, "freq": 0, "fsname": "/dev/disk/by-label/dp2"}]

But there seems to be a missing / before srv just after the "dir":

So, what I did was unmount the drive in the GUI and verified that it was gone in fstab, then mounted it again in the GUI. Looking in fstab again it looks like a bug as the / is missing there too (see line 6.)

Edit:


I make the correction (added a / where needed) in the appropriate mtent section of config.xml and this seems to have solved it.


I will try adding another disk later and see if it was a fluke or a bug.

This is a bug. Confirmed when adding another new disk into OMV 4.1.6 AMD64

This has been solved via input from Volker over on Github. Thanks!
