Hi, I'm a noob with OMV, but have played with Linux for 30 years. I have just set up a new server with OMV 5.
The install went smoothly and all connected disks were recognised. I wiped one HD and created a new ext4 FS and backed up my system to that. Then I installed the flash media plugin and followed its instructions on how to remove the swap partition. I also connected another drive, wiped it and created a new ext4 FS.
Shortly after that I noticed a phantom partition /dev/sda2, supposedly mounted on / and shown as missing. Any attempt to either delete this from the GUI or to create another FS resulted in the GUI throwing errors every few minutes.
After reboot I got the message that my config had changed and did I want to save it. Clicking Save sent the GUI back into the tailspin of continuous errors. After another reboot I answered the Save? question by clicking Revert and I was back where I started.
After reading some other similar topics I edited /etc/openmediavault/config.xml. There I found and deleted the entry for this phantom FS and it disappeared. I can now create another FS, but all its sizes show as "n/a" and attempting to mount it results in these errors:
Removing the directory '/' has been aborted, the resource is busy.
Followed every 10 secs by
An error has occurred.

Shortly after I Ok the 1st error OMV rebooted without further messages. Upon logging in again I'm asked to save the changes, which I chose to revert. I'm now back to square one with an FS that OMV doesn't want to mount.
Somehow, the OMV internal config regarding partitions seems to have been damaged. How can I reset this?
