Code
Good Morning. I will set up a file server in the next few days and I would like to ask a question. My setup will have an Intel platform, the OMV 6 installed on a SATA SSD and will have between 6 and 7 SATA mechanical disks. I will not use any type of RAID as I want to use all available space for media, which will only be on the server temporarily. I plan to use MergerFS and SnapRaid to be able to maximize space without having to worry about managing it, and to have some level of redundancy in case a disk fails before it's emptied. I also intend to use some Docker containers, like Emby, Sonarr, Jackett, etc, and some native Debian applications, all media oriented. My question: would it be possible to leave the mechanical disks just for media files and the like and put everything else (system, containers, settings, etc) on the SSD. In every system I use, I like to separate the System, Applications and Settings from the Data itself, I think it's a practice that makes it much easier in case of migration or maintenance. I would like to know if I can do this in OMV and, if the answer is "yes", how to do it.
