Hi, OMV5 is based on Debian 10. Hence all limits of this distribution apply. Please check the current limits on their site
I was planning to populate all 60 HDD for this particular storage but current os does not support more than 30 HDD (28 Data and 2 Parity)
Does the OMV have the same limitation or is there a catch?
Unraid is Linux just like OMV but Unraid uses their own proprietary raid version that must have these limits. mdadm, zfs, btrfs do not have those limits.

Thanks ryecoaaron .
So mdadm, zfs btrfs does not have those limits. I can still use a RAID config for as ZFS, with all 60 Drives ?

Not sure I understand what you are asking in the first half but you may want to think hard whether you want/need 60 drives in the same array but it should be possible.
Just curious, but would it be possible to create something similar to 60 tmpfs partitions and test? I'm not sure what mdadm requires physically.
Also FWIW, 30 doesn't seem... right. Just by guessing from normencalture, I'd think it's 255 or 65,536.
Well, I found this...
| This is shown as "Array Slot" by the mdadm v2.x "--examine" command |
Note: This is a 32-bit unsigned integer, but the Device-Roles (Positions-in-Array) Area indexes these values using only 16-bit unsigned integers, and reserves the values 0xFFFF as spare and 0xFFFE as faulty, so only 65,534 devices per array are possible.

Probably. I could add 60 disks to a VM too.

According to the kernel wiki, mdadm support 384 disks in version-1 superblock - https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/i…rsion-1_Superblock_Format

I need it as I will have to buy another separate Hardware for a Storage Box as the Existing Supports 60HDD .
