OMV like guest virtual machine

Hello,

As I plan to buy a new computer, I have a few questions. I want to use openmediavault (essential ), but I would have other uses on my machine (router, xbmc + video games, email, owncloud).
On my previous server, I could use appliances like my email server and owncloud through virtualbox plugin in openmediavault.
In my new setup, I'd rather use a host system as ubuntu and use openmediavault like a guest. But I wonder about the reliability of the solution. This configuration does it affect performance? Mounting a RAID through openmediavault is it possible?
f using openmediavault as guest is possible, what is the best system? Virtualbox? I heard of KVM / QEMU, Proxmox, but these solutions scare me a bit (I'm not at all computer).

Thank you for your answers and welcomes you for your ambitious work.

OK, so no worries for omv in virtualization with a RAID soft. However, I imagine that the performance is slightly lower?

It may not be the issue here, but if I use proxmox (for exemple), I guess I'll tear my hair of newbie (french expression) to run a ubuntu guest with running a TV tuner card or lever usb game ... etc ... Maybe I should use virtualbox, even if the level of performance it will be less interesting?

PS: ryecoaaron, do not you have the gift of ubiquity?

Thank you very well for your answers I'll try virtualbox
