HP Proliant Microserver gen 8 + ODD + OMV-2 vs OMV-3

Hello evrybody,

Let me tell u first my aim with HP Gen8.It wil be used as a SIMPLY DLNA streaming NAS.
With a hard drives in a JBOD/Linear mode.The reason here for is that i have one 4Tb HDD and as he get full of data than another HDD shall be add...and so on.
Now, on forum i found there is an plugin called "AUFS or Mhddfs 32bit" who merge different format HDD`s in one POOL(still i don`t know is this only 4 HDDs at once or is it possible for my sollution 1HDD at momment ? ).

At this momment i`m trying for several weeks to make grub boting up from usb on OMV2.

And there is OMV3 beta who should resolve my (novice problems with a CLI) problem with a GRUB and boot up from usb(+ODD).

My question would be about OMV 3 :

Is OMV3 "enough" stable to be used as a simply streaming dlna nas in your opinion ?

And is there an AUFS plugin in 64bit version?

Thank you very much for fast replay and a lot of gooed news!!!

It seems that i shall finaly see a sun on a horizont.

With Regards,

L.P.P.

Hi guy`s me again!

There is something wrong?
I have been watching install of OMV3(via virtual machine) on youtube.
And during installation where a moment on screen with asking "where to install a Grub"(in my case should be an usb stick or micro sd card)?

But during my install i did not encouter that screen?!

Did i do anything wrong or "that screen" is only for virtual machine`s enviroment?

Pffffff i made IT !!!!!

Still, i don`t feel satisfaction rather beaten to death.

The link u have provided did worked ONLY after THIS manual(for future novices/beginners):

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/ext2.html

LSBLK - great command to find out a name of your SD-USB stick(4 beginners).

Also MUST be NOTED that a SD or USB stick IF is in Dos{MBR} (in my case after option "p" stud among other info) must HAVE "BOOT" flag(this is what i add after all thing i have done and seeing not working - finaly on boot up of HP Gen 8 did manage sd->ssd+hdd).
If is it in GPT or whatever the name is for linux....there is no need to set up a BOOT flag(i presume & not willing to check it out).

Now,i have the last of the last of us the question:

Is the SD card "pure reading device" who is sending booting grub to ssd?
OR
Is there ANY i/o , read of course & write on SD communicateing with SSD?

This is because of reading on internet about durability of SD card against USB stick.
At this moment i would rather stick with SD,but if is it necessary i may load up my guts in not so distant time to make exchange.

Tnx,tnx,tnx....
