Exfat Filesystem with OVM

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi Guys,


    I was thinking a long time about installing my own NAS server at home when I came across OpenMediaVault.


    I am using a MacBook Pro 2017 with Mac Os Big Sur. Now I want to connect my external drive (WD Elements) to the Raspberry Pi and OMV to create my own NAS system. Now my question is what format I should use for this drive.


    I saw some instructions on installing OMV and they all used ex4t. But sometimes I am not at home and work mobile. In case I don't have internet I want to carry my external drive with me to get direct access via the thunderbolt port of my macbook. I think that mac os don't support ex4t. So is it possible to use a exfat filesystem with OVM?


    Thanks a lot :)

    The NAS won't blow up in a thermonuclear explosion. But it won't work right. Possibly not at all.


    You can use NTFS or EXTFS, with some extra work and installs, for a backup drive. And bring the backup drive with you.


    If you google "ext4 macos" you get some indication that you can use ext4 with macos.

    Be smart - be lazy. Clone your rootfs.
