Hi,
I tried, on my first OMV run, an install with snapraid and I ran into storage problems, the first data drive (of three) being full, the parity drive full and I could not write any more to the OMV server.
I could not fix it, so I thought I would reduce the complexity and removed snapraid to better troubleshoot. Later, I would quite like to try snapraid again, but for the time being I would be happy if I could simply fully use the three data disks in jbod mode, but as a pooled drive.
I unpooled the drives again with Union FileSystems, pooled them again, created the share again.
I have three disks pooled with Union FileSystems, or rather, I want them to be pooled, but it is not working.
The three disks were setup with Union Filesystems with the default settings: They are standard 8TB HDDs, formatted as ext4, sdb1, sdc1 and sdd1. The create policy was not changed, it is Existing path, most free space, minimum space free 4G, the options are the default ones:
defaults,allow_other,cache.files=off,use_ino
The pooled drive is shown as T20_NAS in the Union FileSystem overview.
Here is a screenshot of my file system overview:
I am using Version 5.6.26-1.
When I created the Share under services → SMB/CIFS → Shares,
I linked it to the pooled drive, which was shown with the correct capacity (almost 15 GB, as one of the three data drives is full.
I would expect to be able to simply put more files onto the pooled drive via the share, As sdd1 is full and sdb1 and sdc1 are empty, I would expect OMV to automatically keep on writing on the empty drives.
Instead, I get an error message in Windows:: On share (\\T20) there is not enough space left.
At the moment I can’t even create a folder because I tried writing recently and I got an error message, too. Now there is not a single byte left, apparently. It is definitely not an access problem but a space problem or rather that despite my having used the pooled drive in creating the share, it does not work properly.
I am accessing the OMV server via Windows right now but I also have a Linux Mint partition on the computer and tried accessing it in this way. I does not make a difference.
Any ideas?
