of cause RDM is not for partition, based on its full name - Raw Disk Mapping, it's totally for disk. If OP's intention is to use hypervisor's disk where host OS installed, I don't think there is an available option.

I can report back that I succeeded to import ZFS pool (3 separated pools, total 12TB) from OmniOS+Napp-it applicance to OMV 1.0, which I installed extra ZFS plugin, everything went well. Just be sure export your pools at first, and right now there is no any GUI implemented, all your commands must be executed in console, but I believe it's really simple and easy.

Congras! It's an awesome time to be expected.

I have installed 2 plugins for the backup purpose:
1. openmediavault-backup: for system partition, and live clone and recovery;
2. openmediavault-rsnapshot: for folders on data drives;But I found in rsnapshot, I can only set already created share folders as the source, for some other plugsin, such as mySQL and Plex server, they will automatically create data folder once assign the data volume, so how can I use rsnapshot to backup such data folders? Or is there any other plugin can serve the same purpose? Thanks!

Already got it around, thanks!

Can any moderator give me a PM about how to unlock source.list? As mine seems have a problem that installation CDROM source appears again in the file, so every time I check update on the web will route to an error. I don't know how it happened, but I can recall I never manually edited it, as you can see this cdrom source was commented at first.

Could this great functionality be a plugin?

Use this: "# qm set <vmid> -virtio<X> /dev/sda" to pass a Proxmox disk to VZ is possible to implement on GUI, or only applicable in console? And after passed, disk is still capable of spindown? Thanks!

Sorry for my newbie head, I thought they are the same one, I will try the correct iso.
BTW, is partedmagic a totally open source tool, as I found it requires $4.99 for iso download and one year subscription.

This is the screenshot when booted with Gparted:
As it was at very early stage of booting, so I'm wondering it has any relationship with OMV network setting, dhcp or static, also my eth0 did set to dhcp.
This is my OMV setup on baremetal system, a HP ProLiant SL210t Gen8, but I also had the same issue on my home system, DIYed NAS. -

[My system basic info]:
================================================================================
= OS/Debian information
================================================================================
Distributor ID: debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)
Release: 7.6
Codename: wheezy
Kernel: 3.14 backport
================================================================================
= OpenMediaVault information
================================================================================
Release: 1.0.8
Codename: KralizecGparted iso: gparted-live-0.19.1-1-amd64.iso
Backup plugin: openmediavault-backup 1.0.4[Issue symptom]:
After installing "backup" plugin, I continued to setup "Parted Magic" as guided in the tab, copied iso file to /boot/ and automatically updated the grub loader, then clicked "Parted Magic" button to setup one-time boot, but after reboot the system, couldn't load the iso, error message looks as: error, can't find the file.My grub menu for Gparted is as below, and I can confirm the iso exist there.
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/42_partedmagic ###
menuentry "Parted Magic" {
set isofile="/boot/partedmagic.iso"
loopback loop $isofile
linux (loop)/pmagic/bzImage iso_filename=$isofile boot=live
initrd (loop)/pmagic/initrd.img
}
### END /etc/grub.d/42_partedmagic ###Note: I tried to burn iso to a USB disk using UltraISO, booting also failed, because the loader in iso is syslinux v4, but UltraISO can't write correctly, so I changed to another tool -- "rufus-1.4.5.exe", i downloaded a file from the net when writing the iso, after that, this USB disk worked well to log in Gparted UI, so i'm wondering whether this issue is that grub loader in Debian Wheezy can't recognize iso correctly.

I set APM to 1 (Minimum power usage with standby (Spindown)), and timer set to 60min, works well, HDDs do spin down. So the statement "30 min seems to be bugged" only when APM set to 127?

Yes, if you want to see the physical drives in ESXi VM, you have 2 options:
1. Use RDM (Raw Disk Map), you may find a lot of guide on Google about how-to;
2. If your hardware is able of VT-d (need motherboard, CPU, BIOS support), you can use "PCI pass through" functionality to route a storage controller to VM, ESXi is much simple to configure pass through; -
I repeated the process to reproduce the issue, then executed "apt-get --reinstall install openmediavault-virtualbox", no luck, below error encountered:
root@omv-debian:~# apt-get --reinstall install openmediavault-virtualbox

E: Internal Error, No file name for openmediavault-virtualbox:amd64But "apt-get install openmediavault-virtualbox" worked for me, it ran to get the correct extension pack and configured plugin successfully. The next problem is that, i found some difference between phpvirtualbox GUI and Virtualbox manager GUI in desktop, some items missed in web GUI, see below pictures, "input", "update", "extensions", "proxy" setting missed in phpvirtualbox, not sure whether is because that phpvirtualbox web service run as vbox user, not have full access.

I don't what exact I did to make virtualbox plugin works, but I'm sure I haven't ran "apt-get --reinstall install openmediavault-virtualbox". Below is something I can recall, I will try another plugin-extplorer whether will work with this reinstall.
1. I retried virtualbox extension pack with "wget download.virtualbox.org/virtua…_Pack-4.3.14.vbox-extpack" to my home folder;
2. I ran "aptitude install xorg xfce4 lightdm" to install a desktop (just as a test), when set up the packages, I saw "virtualbox extension pack" was downloaded again and configured;
3. after finish step 2, log in my OMV GUI, found "VirtualBox" marked "Installed" in "Plugins", and it did works to configure datavolume, vm folder and login phpvirtualbox UI to create VM;So i'm wondering whether there is some problem in original virtualbox plugin installation script, it didn't download package through http proxy.

After stuck at the final installation step for a long time, i refresh the OMV main page in browser, I found "virtualbox" is still not "installed" in plugin list, but i can see it in "Services" sidebar, and also in the output of "dpkg -l | grep openmediavault"

I deployed OMV (1.0.8 on Debian 7.6) on a system in my company lab, this system is behind a proxy, so configured $http_proxy, installation and update to 3.14 backport worked very well without any problem. But when I tried to install extplorer and virtualbox plugin, it failed, according to install log, looks like it was failed due to not able to get some files for installation.
E.g, for virtualbox installation, all packages got successfully, when setting up openmediavault-virtualbox, it required to get a file named "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.14.vbox-extpack", but failed, tried 20 times which all are time out, finally gave up, then the installation stuck there. I have tried that below methods to retrieve this files, both OK
1. in SSH console, "wget http://download.virtualbox.org…_Pack-4.3.14.vbox-extpack" (I have already configured $http_proxy);
2. in my desktop browser, input link of the file, browser can get it successfully;Can anyone help me to figure out what's the difference in plugin installation script to receive the file? Thanks!
BTW, i have installed both plugin on the system in my home, no similar issue encountered, so i believe this is an issue related to http proxy, but not sure whether on OMV side or proxy server side.Because I can't paste all installation log, I just cut the part of failed steps:

Hi OP, if you want to try OMV as a KVM guest, and expect the HDD power, spinning status reported correctly, you may need a HBA pass throughed in host, which means your CPU, motherboard, BIOS/EFI should support VT-d, not just VT-x functionality. I have tried OMV in Proxmox 3.1, but finally switched to VMware ESXi, as it works more well on my hardware.
