Hi,
Is it possible to use a free partition of the system disk that has already been mounted via Debian as a storage medium?

No, OMV separates the OS storage from the data storage by design. But if you want to use the root storage, install the openmediavault-sharerootfs plugin.

If the partition is on the same drive, although a different partition, OMV still sees it as a drive, doesn't it?
I have 4 partitions on the root drive and didn't had to install the plugin for OMV to see them all (the extra 2).
But I think I made them pre-installing OMV5, let me check my fstab.
[EDIT]
It was made post-OMV but with btrfs (if it matters)

Oh right, it is only the root file system that can not be used.

Do you need the large /home partition?
My idea would be to
- save the files in /home to some other place (cp -apr /home /tmp/home)
- unmount the /home directory
- remove the entry from /etc/fstab
- copy the files back to /home (won on your root partition
Go to the GUI and mount the (now unused) partiton

Thanks, that's it. This home partition was not yet used, just partitioned during the Debian installation. After I took the entry from the 'fstab' written in Debian, the OMV recognized the partition without any problems.
