    Hello,


    I tried to configure OMV with my imagination since I am retire IT enginerr and mayby too optimistic.


    1. Host machine: Ubuntu 16.04
    2. OMV run in Virtual Box 6 on Ubuntu HOST
    3. I have 128 GB Adata SSD for Host system disk
    3. I have two Hitachi Ultrastar 3TB drives, that I partitioned in Host Ubuntu 2TB/1TB both (without creating file systems) with the idea to have two 2TB partitions mirrored in OMV, and one 1TB in OMV as Single filesystem, the second 1TB left for host machine.
    4. I run Virtual Box as user (not root), to be able to expose raw partitions wrapped in VMDK files. For that I chown'ed /dev/s** for the user
    5. I started OMV, created RAID mirror with 2 TB partitions.
    6. Stopped OMV and HOST to connect some old HDD to be arichived which become /dev/sdb (while in first run /dev/sdb was Hitachi)
    7. Virtial Box could not start beacuse new conneced hdd was owned by root
    8. OMV given the raw partitions wrapped in VMDK files has made them to be the owned by root
    9. After running VB again, the OMV cannot recreate mirror
    10. In host system disk are showm as Mirror members


    Maybe is there someone who could understand what I wanted to do, and tell me how should I do it properly. If I am doin something wrong cannot lern try/correct method sinece the initilal sync of 2 x 2TB mirror takes mi 3,5 h
