after attach new blank disk, i found that if if create filesystem on it, it use the whole disk by default. Can't create partition, then how toc create partitions, use gdisk or fdisk int terminal?
how to part blank disk through the webui?

You cant do that from the webUI..
You can:
1. Do it from the command line
2. If you have omv-extras installed, you can use it to download Gparted Live, boot it, and use it to partition the disk.
3. Or you can do it the old fashioned way, download Gparted, put it on a flash drive, and boot it, and then use it to format the drive...

ok, I see.
I have tried to use clonezilla and gparted iso, but after reboot, I can't boot from the ISO file
Error as discribed below:
no loop device
should load kernel first.does the live ISO support uefi platform?
Honestly, I don't know.. I haven't used it in years. If not, you could just as easily just download an Ubuntu Live CD iso, put it on a USB and use Gparted on it and accomplish the same thing.

No it is not possible. Why do you want to do that. It is absolute not necessary on a NAS.

What is the benefit of using partitions in your opinion? I'm asking because i want to understand it.
In OMV data is separated by using shared folders. So there is absolutely no need to use partitions, this concept is antique and makes maintenance difficult.a blank disk do not need parted, just one partitions and make different locations by share folders?
If you create a filesystem via UI the whole device is wiped, one partition and a filesystem is created. Use shared folders to order your data.

That's true, because of that OMV uses separate disks for the OS and the user data. Using partitions for the user data section does not make sense because this might include 2,3,10,50 or more disk devices.

You probably need to read about lvm and aufs.
For home users any kind of raid makes no sense for most users. I think most people in this forum will probably agree.
If the size of your disk is sufficient you only need ext4. For the start keep it simple.For sure you need backup. For example one in your home for easy revecovery and one remote for more severe threads (fire, flood, etc.)
Search the forum for "RAID is not backup" and have a look at the link in my signature. -

but i am a little worried about the filesystem's efficiency and the rescure is convenient or not when met some trouble. -
Have a look at the unionfilesystems-plugin from omv-extras.
