Can't create shared folder on USB

wetepaq · Oct 28th 2021

Hi,

I've installed OMV 6.0.21 (this guide : https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=installing_omv5_i386_32_bit_pc 192.168.l.l routerlogin 192.168.0.1) so I've got Debian 11 32 bits + OMV 6 + OMVExtras on a main hard drive.

I then plug an USB external harddrive (EXT4 formatted).

I see it on disk as /dev/sdb and I mounted it on filesystem menu so I can see it.

But I can't select it to create a shared folder on "shared folders submenu".

Is it normal ?

How can I create then a shared folder with external HDD ?

I can not add an inside hard drive on this computer.

Thanks in advance.

Same overhere. I think we oversee something here.

I installed OMV on a Raspberry Pi 4b. It boots from the same _external_ SSD as on which OMV is installed.
Just thinking: perhaps that de media that OMV is managing, should be physically another SSD?

Dead link, sorry. Site is very interesting though.

It should be another drive, but to create a share on the boot drive install the sharedrootfs plugin.
