intallation to optane 16gb(14.4)

Readbook · Jul 13th 2020

Hi!

I buy cheap 16gb optane for system disk usage.

Before main nas migration, I just try it on fresh intallation on another machine.

When I choose optane as destanation disk in OMV5.3.9 I have this error:

Failed to partition the selected disk.

This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automarically partitioned.

In doc I find this:

I have 16gb ram on both machine.

So question is: can I use 16gb Optane(14.4 actual size) as a main drive for OMV5.3.9 ?

I understand, that my main server will migrate via gpart/clonezilla/dd and avoid this issue. But it will work stable after that?(

The OS only needs 2-3 GB. The rest is for swap. Most likely you will not need swap with 16 GB of RAM.

You can either remove some of the ram for installation and put it back later or

install Debian 10 without desktop environment first and then OMV on top.

This guide works also for amd64, just use the appropriate iso of Debian
