Did you mount drives that were formatted on a Windows Box with NTFS?
Did you mount drives that were formatted on a Windows Box with NTFS?
Yes. That was the case. I used these discs only for testing, since I intend to use two other bigger drives that are currently in use in my old D-LINK NAS. This OMV will replace it.
Best regards.
That's the problem. Wipe and format your new disks (preferably using EXT4) in OMV's GUI.
Mounting disks with an NTFS format, created by a Windows box, is a foreign volume. This can (and often does) result in permissions issues.

It is what I have already done. This lead to the missing file system issue. But, since I intend to start over, I am not concerned about it.
Best regards.
Also, today I received a SATA controller card. It's a cheap one, with just two additional ports. As the box doesn't hold more than four 3.5" disks, it's enough for my use.
A positive side-effect: the position of the port will allow the use of the 90° angled SATA cable that came with the motherboard.
Now I have to build a cradle to store two additional units, where the case only holds one. I must find an easy-to-cut dielectric material for this, or 3D-print a plastic one.
Best regards.
Another problem: after staying on for some time, the OMV server becomes irresponsive. Any atempt to access via webGUI returns the following error message.
Also, i can not access it via SSH. Am I missing something?
Best regards.
Is this the first time? Does a power reset bring back the GUI and SSH?

It occurred a few times. And yes, a power reset bring the server alive again.

Your motherboard:
Have you checked BIOS for power saving or sleep features? Also, you might check for a BIOS feature that can power down peripherals, like your network card.
A test might be to connect a mouse or a keyboard. If the PC stops responding, type on the keyboard or giggle the mouse to see if it wakes up.

It was the first thing that occured to me. I have already tryed to plug a mouse and a keyboard to wake the motherboard, but had no success. And I disabled everything related to suspension and energy saving that I found in the BIOS .
Best regards.
The first thing I would do is look at logs:
In the GUI look under Diagnostics, System Logs, syslog.
On the CLI type dmesg and scroll through.
If nothing is found in a log search; the issue is either hardware or software. (It's one or the other.)
I'd hook up a keyboard and monitor, to see if something is going on with network connectivity.
If the PC becomes unresponsive with a keyboard and monitor, I would try unplugging the SATA card. See if that changes anything.
Then, since a rebuild is easy and it's reasonably quick and free, I'd give that a try.
I would consider rebuilding on a USB thumbdrive (16GB or a bit larger) especially if you have one laying around. That eliminates the NVME SSD. (I admit that's a long shot but the more items eliminated the better.)
Beyond the above, you could try an LIVE CD (or USB) distro like KNOPPIX to see if the same thing happens.

I will try these approaches, but it might take some time as I am overloaded with work this week. As soon I discover something, I will post it here.
Best regards.
Well, the first easy thing I have done was quite revealing: I plugged a monitor in the OMV server and voilà! NVMe issue. Will a reinstall solve this? Or is the drive defective?
Best regards.
Have you checked the SMART stat's for the drive? You'd have to activate SMART under Storage, SMART, Devices, EDIT. Then click on the device, and Information, and the Attributes tab. Compare what you find with explanations -> here.
Or you can do smartctl -a /dev/sd? on the CLI. (Replace ? with the letter for the NVME)
This is speculation but, I'm guessing that something is wrong with the NVME drive or, perhaps, the NVME interface on the motherboard. I doubt you'll be able to fix it with a reformat, but I can't say that for sure. Reformatting is another long shot but you almost have to try it. I would physically remove and reinstall the NVME drive before doing the reformat / rebuild. (It might not be seated in the socket perfectly.)

If the behavior repeats:
Could I talk you into using a thumbdrive as a boot drive? They're inexpensive, easy to backup and they work fine. Info on that is -> here and -> here.
(I believe the user guide is available in your language.)

I left SMART disabled for the NVMe drive. I will activate it. But a smartctl returned the following:
smartctl 6.6 2017-11-05 r4594 [x86_64-linux-5.10.0-0.bpo.8-amd64] (local build)

Also, within webGUI, in Storage > SMART > Devices, the /dev/nvme0 status is shown as unknown.
Still, given the screen messages, something appears to be wrong with the NVME or it's something else, potentially related to the motherboard.
I think a reformat / rebuild is in your future. If you don't want to reformat the NVME, as the first action., you can unplug it and set if off to the side and rebuild on a 16GB to 32GB thumbdrive. They're reasonable priced these days. Get a SanDisk or Samsung if you can. If using a thumbdrive for a boot drive, don't forget to install the Flashmemory plugin.
Instructions for building on a thumbdrive that is found -> here. Installing the Flashmemory plugin is found -> here.
