new with OMV, making a media server with 2 hdd 1 sdd (snapraid+mergerfs)

hi, i'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3yF1Rsu7ow as i want to build a media server to use jellyfin with my familly.

i'm having a little trouble with the part at minute 23 with snapraid schedule. When i run the command i get the message :

If I understand properly, it's because i don t have enough disks ?!? I watched another dude video on youtube where he space had to match bewtween disks. parity has to be equal or bigger than data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX5MA-c6Qq4

Here are my disks (sda1 is parity, sdc1 is data, sdb2 is OMV:

Any help wanted. Can also share my screen with discord if needed.

You must have at least 2 'content' files in different disks.

thx for answering.

my disks are empty as i just formated and mounted them.

i want to build a jellyfin media server that i can access with my local computer and TV and allows my parents and my sister from the internet.

I have 2x20 terrabytes HDD (i assumed 1x parity and 1xdata)

The ssd where i installed OMV (don't want anything else in there) is 1x128 GB

I have 2 extra HDD if needed, 1x 500 go and 1x 5 terrabyte (where movies are actually stored).

stepped followed, formated drives, mount them give them names p1 and d1, used mergerfs on d1, used snapraid on p1, d1 and ssd(OS). tried to set an schedule for snapraid (system/scheduled tasks and command snapraid sync). Then i tried to run this command and then it's where the message error appears.

my plan is to buy more drives latter on. 20tb for now is more than enough

dunno if i can transfer all those into new drives easily

hiii, i just wanted to say it was a permission error i made.

i just started from scratch and it works perfectly now.

I even have 2 extra 4 tb drives added.

thing is, i need to find out how to install jellyfin and configure it.

Also, if i add a graphic card now, should i install it or it's gonna be taken into account automaticaly (i wanna do transcode with it).

Need to find out how to make it accessible to my sister who doesn't live at my place too

any way, wanted to thx you for the time taken.

have a good day

thx !

i got there and got stuck... uninstalled plugins don't show up anymore and cannot move on...

Managed to install wetty at the beggining and i remember perfectly seeing a lot more plugins before. I don't know what i did but they disapeared. Probably i touched something i shouldn't.

I've been reading the tutorials for jellyifin, it's pretty not noob/moron friendly. I don't get it why dockers are not included with openmediavault, same as mergerfs and snapraid, same goes with compose and jellyfin, and others dockers, so you could install apps easily. I'm really considering moving to unraid or even another windows and deal with it...

Thx anyway y que tengan un buen dia

To receive help you should provide more information about what you did that could cause this. It's hard to guess.

that's the thing i don't know what i did so i cannot show because i don't know what to show... that's why i posted a gif so people could see different menus that work "normaly"....

Output inside a codebox of

dpkg -l | grep openm

just to be precise, i add to enable ssh otherwise it wouldn't work. (dont know why it was disabled btw.
