I'm trying to add a few USB disks for raid storage. There are 5 in a USB nas and they all show up in disks but when I try to add them in file system I get "Error Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local etc."
File system error

Before you do anything the drives have to be wiped in Storage -> Disks, then create your raid from the cli, then add a file system to the raid array.

Tried that, I get "
Error #0:
OMV\ExecException: Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C.UTF-8; dd if=/dev/zero of='/dev/sdc' bs=512 count=8192 seek=253879390750438 2>&1' with exit code '1': dd:

: Input/output error etc." -
The problem is in the error i.e. input/output denotes a hardware error

OK thanks. I'm thinking it may be because the disks are in an external USB nas?

No, there's either an issue with the drive or the enclosure

Thanks. It looks like the drives are OK but the enclosure was causing problems. I have an Orico 5-bay USB NAS and the drives were a bit wobbly! They slot in vertically but are free standing so I have wedged them and that seems to have sorted it. I have 3x2TB and 2x1TB, what would be the best raid setup? How much space would I have out of 8TB?

4TB, the raid size is governed by the smallest drive in the array

Thanks again for your help. Should I use raid 1 or 5?

If you do Raid 5 from the 5 drives you will only get 4TB of space, if you set up 2 raids, 2x1TB as Raid 1 will give you 1TB of usable space, 3x2TB as Raid 5 will give you 4TB of usable space.

I would not use any kind of RAID due to that.
