Partitions on data disks

  • I came across a warning in the OMV7 web interface saying that partitions are not supported on data disks. Yet, when I used OMV to format my new drive (EXT4), it created a single partition.


    Now I'm confused. Should data disks have one large partition with a single filesystem? Or, should there be no partitions at all?


    Thanks

  • Only a single partition on non-system data disks is required and supported. More than one partition is not. Partitionless file systems are not supported.

    A backup strategy is worthless unless you have a verified to work by testing restore strategy.
