Some Questions about OMV

  • Hey OMV Fans,


    first, sorry for my bad english, but it is not my first/native language
    second, OMV looks awesome, good work so thx for it


    now my questions:
    - i have installed OMV on my machine, and all works great, but the "update manager" task provided me some entries
    i use OMV only as a NAS for my mediaplayer and windows PC, so is it recommend to update all ?
    - my WD 3TB disks formatted as ext4 are shown as 2,69TB normaly its 2,72TB ( NTFS ) but only 2,55Tb are provided/free is this normal ?


    thanks for answering
    best regards

    Yes. All filesystems have an overhead for the format/journal/etc. Some are more than others.

  • And NTFS has no journaling at all. There is also a root reserve of 5% that cannot be used by any other user then root.

    Everything is possible, sometimes it requires Google to find out how.

    If you format ext4, just run tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdX where 0 is the percentage reserved and sdX is the drive/partition you want to change.

  • again thanks :)
    can you tell me which filesystem is the best ? on my box, is the transfer speed on xfs faster than ext4 ( about 10mb/s more )
    i have no raid, only just each disk alone

    I would use ext4. Both filesystems can max out gigabit ethernet though.
