Error when installing via packages

bchanudet · Jun 30th 2020

Hello,

I've been trying to install omv from the provided package repository (https://packages.openmediavault.org) on a fresh Debian 10 install.

An error occurs when running the postinst script from the openmediavault package:

The server is a server hosted in OVH, with 1x500GB nvme for OS (that's where Debian is stored) and 4x4TB HDD disks that are, for now, unpartitionned (thus unmounted and not even mentioned in /etc/fstab).

I've had a look at the corresponding file, and it seems related to searching for "non rotational" disks, could the fact that I'm running under a nvme disk be the problem here?

I also did an extensive search on Google but I didn't find anything except for some things about the YAML parser and Salt.

Is there someone here that could help me on such an error?

Best regards

Maybe this changes will fix your installation problem. These will be included in the next version 5.5.4.

Have you tried this approach as well?
