partition a hard drive for the OS and storage

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Can anyone tell me how to partition a SATA drive so I can use it for the OS and a second partiton for Storage.
    I tried using Gparted and made 2 EXT 4 partions but OMV didn't seem to like that and didn't list a partition I could use for storage.

    Did you already install OpenMediaVault and partitioned it afterwards?


    Post the output of blkid here.

    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    when you have OMV installed and working ....
    1. Download iso gparted live and burn it into a dvd-r or rw.http://gparted.org/livecd.php
    2. Boot your nas from that dvd. gprted will come to you.
    3. resize the greatest partition of omv hd system layout to a small partition, 16 GiB, 24 Gib, ..
    4 Create a new partition type linux on new spare hd space.
    5 Format it into ext4
    6 Apply changes
    7 Shutdown the system.
    8 Boot your nas from hd. OMV will come up and running and ......
    you will have a new ext4 system file available for you.

    Gentlemen
    Thank you for the info.
    No I did the partition first, which now appers to be wrong.
    I will follow your instructions and use gparted to adjust the partitions after I install openmediavault.
    Thank you Rich Prim
