Hi,
I'm relatively new to NAS operating systems, so please forgive me if this is a beginner's question. I'm currently working on a small tinkering project using an Acer Aspire E5-576 laptop from 2017 with the following specs:
Intel Core i3-8130U
6GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM
500GB WDC WDS500G2B0A-00SM50 SSD
The first time I installed OpenMediaVault (OMV), I was able to set up an EXT4 file system and successfully mounted it. I then created shared folders (data, compose, and backup) and used them with Docker containers — everything worked as expected.
However, I wasn’t fully satisfied with the way I initially configured everything, so I decided to reinstall OMV from scratch.
Now, after the reinstallation, I'm trying to recreate the file system and mount it, but the WDC WDS500G2B0A-00SM50 SSD no longer appears in the dropdown menu when I attempt to select a device to mount. It’s like OMV doesn’t see it anymore.
Did I miss a step during the setup? Could it be that the disk is already in use, or maybe it wasn't properly wiped during the reinstall? Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
I see the disk under storage and disks, see the following picture:
And when I go to Storage ⇾ File systems, click on the + select EXT4 I can't select the disk, see the following picture:
Also, I can't mount the file system.
What do I have to do?
this is the output of fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).
# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.
