I have OMV 6 currently with Western Digital Drive which I plan on removing. But I have added a YottaMaster FS5U3 harddrive enclosure. The enclosure has been giving me a fit with the supplied HMVRaidManager software recognizing drives. So I tried to configure Software Raid on OMV. Each 4tb hard drive is visible in 'Disks' but when I got to individually mount drives so I can configure the RAID 5 set up on 4 volumes are visible? Is RAID 5 only supported in OMV for 4 drives?

To use the drives in OMV they should be wiped first, if they are repurposed they should be securely wiped.Then the drives can be used to create the raid, that needs to be done first before adding a file system

These are brand new drivers that I formatted in Windows computer management. I didn't sign them a drive letter. I can see the drives individually but the raid manager software cannot see the drives to configure a raid setup

You may have two options:
a// create the raid using OMV. For this the enclosure must present the drives individually to OMV. Then wipe the drives and create a RAID in the GUI of OMV
b// the enclosure provides some sort of hardware raid; then you need to check the documentation of the enclosure how to do it; in the end the RAID will be presented as a single filesystem to OMV and you can mount it
It is suggested to use Linux filesystems like ext4 and NOT windows filesystems like NTFS
BTW: why do you want RAID?

I order raid case.
Only one question.
Case go in sleep mode, after 5 minutes.
OMV ( nfs, and other services) are able to wake up yotamaster case ?
Thanks
