partition

  • Hello All,
    I am wondering how I can get OMV to recognise a ext4 partition so I can utilise it.
    OMV sees all my whole disks but I have partitioned one disk so I only hold 450GB ready for OMV.
    Does anyone know how I can utilise this 450GB partition in OMV?
    thanks

  • I found the solution:


    • Create a partition with Parted (command line)
    • Then initialize that partition to be able to work with LVM , for that do the following: pvcreate /dev/[your partition identifier] (command line)
    • Then install the LVM Plugin in OMV and use the partition above to create a Volume, Volume Group and Logical Volume.
    • The newly created Logical Volumen then shows up under OMV "Creating Filesystem" and can be formated and mounted in OMV

    This way I partitioned a 500GB SDD to act as 50GB Cache for my ZFS Pool and the remaining 450GB can be used as normal disk space (outside the ZFS pool).
