Raid restriction

MarcS · 25. Mai 2020

Hello experts.

I am trying to use the OMV GUI Raid to configure a few HDs connecting via USB but the OMV GUI Raid Management has a restriction not showing USB drives.

Does anyone know how to remove this restriction? Since OMV is using standard MDADM, there is no real restriction on that level.

many thanks

Just create the raid in terminal. After that it should appear to format with filesystem.

To remove the restriction you need to edit the backend code filtering out usb drives. That change will get overwritten after omv package upgrade. Not worth it for just one command.

OMV prevents the creation of RAID on USB devices because we had many users with data loss because of that. Therefor OMV will not support RAID over USB.
