Hello
I have been usiing OMV for a while and now I decided to migrate on a a new machine with Proxmox (which I have never used before).
I succefully install Proxmox, other VM and also OMV.
The problem is that on OMV I am unable to setup the FileSystem. Among my disks I have this
But when I try to create the file system, I have no Devices to select.
Did I setup the wrong controller/disk type on Prpoxmox?
Thanks all for the help.

I guess that /dev/sda is your root file system. According to the screenshot there are no other disks in the system, so you can not create a new file system. You can also not use the root file system for creating shared folders because OMV strictly separates user data from OS data. If you want to use only one disk (whcih contains the root file system), then use the openmediavault-sharerootfs plugin to override the OMV behaviour.
I know of two ways to set up a disk for data in the Proxmox OMV VM. The first... Create drives via the hardware settings on a hard disk mounted in Proxmox (see picture). The second and better way to pass a physical HD to the OMV VM. However, this must not be integrated or mounted in Proxmox. It is best to install them only after installing Proxmox. There are plenty of instructions on the Internet. A visit to the Proxmox forum would also be helpful. This is not an OMV problem. I have instructions on how to do this. Firstly, it's in german and secondly, I only put it together by searching the net. But it works.
What I had forgotten about the first method. The data HD for OMV created in Proxmox via hardware must not be included in the installation of OMV. So first create a VM with an HD for the OMV system in Proxmox, install OMV and only then create one (or more) data drives via the hardware settings of the OMV VM in Proxmox.
