tekkbebe--really thanks for doing some experimentation! I will check things out later this week when I have time. Agreed it's a pretty underpowered system, but there are some die-hard folks out there that love the device. I just need it to store and play movies and music. If it can handle that then I'm happy. I'll let you know.

Were the partitions not available in the Raid Management when you click on create and then looked under devices?

Correct. I do not see any partitions in RAID Management no matter what I do. In fact, I only see two devices under "Filesystems" and am unable to create any new one there. I've tried leaving space free on my drives, creating ext4 partitions in GParted and also creating partitions in the debian installation and just leaving them marked "do not use". Again, no devices appear when I try to create anything in Filesystems or RAID Management. What is odd is that I only see my /boot device (ext3) as /dev/sda1 and the two ext4 partitions (created from GParted) as /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb2. I would expect to see my root partition (ext4) as /dev/sda2 and my swap partition as /dev/sdb1.

Another thing I should point out related to one of David's posts is that I cannot wipe any drive because my OS is installed on them. An HP MV2120 is a headless device that can support 2 X 500GB drives. Currently debian root and boot are on one and swap on the other. I suppose I could put the OS on one and OMV on the second, but that seems kind of a waste to install a 2GB OS on a 500GB drive.

The only other thing I can think of is some strange incompatibility with an older ARM chip. I am running the following system:

Linux olive 2.6.32-5-orion5x #1 Tue Sep 24 19:58:31 UTC 2013 armv5tel

I am sorry this is such a pain. I would really love to get OMV working on this as it is so much better than the crappy HP software that came with this. Any other suggestions?

If I leave both partitions as unused I do not see them nor can I create them in Filesystem--The device drop-down is blank when I attempt to Create. However, if I do partition them in GParted as ext4 I see both available in Filesystems. They initially appear online and unmounted, but I still cannot create anything in RAID. I've mounted them and tried RAID again, but still no luck. I can never get anything to appear in the device drop-down on any page.

So I have reached this point. I installed debian and OMV on separate small partitions on both drives and left the vast majority of space unused. Then I ran GParted and created two new partitions (identified as EXT4--is that right???). The web GUI doesn't let me use any of this space. No devices show in the drop-down. Do I need to make these partitions another type (i.e. a volume for RAID perhaps) in GParted?

Agreed I'd love a separate disk for the system, but on this device it's not possible. It's headless and basically has 1 or at most 2 HDDs to store everything.

Looks like I'm getting mixed-up on where I need to be creating the RAID and LVMs. Here is what I'm doing:
1) I run the HP MV2120 bootstrap program, which starts the debian installer
2) I go through normal installation up to the point where I partition my two 500GB disks using partman with the following config:
- I create a 100MB ext3 /boot partition on one of the drives
- I create RAID partitions for the remaining space on each drive
- I setup RAID0 using the two RAID partitions
- I create a LVM on top of the RAID0 device
- I create an 8GB root / partition
- I create a 2GB swap partition
- I leave the rest of the space unused
3) I finish my Debian installation and install OMV
4) I go into OMV to try to setup a share, but I don't have any devices.

I am confused on where I need to create the RAID and LVM devices. Do I use partman or a combination of it and OMV?

Again, thanks for the help with this!

Thanks for the feedback. So I've rolled back to squeeze (version 6.0.8) and sardaukar with the exact same result. Again, I have RAID0 with LVM, but no volumes when I try to add a shared folder. I've tried Chrome and FF. Could I be doing something wrong in the UI? It seems pretty straightforward. Is there any way I can debug this? In firebug I see an RPC call with a response... {"response":false,"error":null}. Monit and Watchdog appear to be working according to logs. There are no errors in the weblogs. Please let me know if you have ideas. I'd be glad to do some experimenting.

This looks like a really interesting and useful app. I've successfully installed this on my HP MediaVault 2120, but I am unable to create a share. The problem is exactly the same as here:

However, I am using the latest version of Wheezy and Sardaukar so perhaps a different solution to fix. I am using two 500MB drives with a LVM and have tried both with RAID and w/out with same results. I suppose I could rebuild w/out the LVM. Any ideas on what could be wrong and/or what I could do to research issue?

thx
