Here is the output of the dpkg command:

Is there any way to verify if the flash media is failing?

It's running on flash media - the version is 5.something. Not sure how to tell from the cli what omv version it is.

I forgot to mention I did try to do the reinstall as well and that failed with the same error. The flash media is not that old - maybe a year or so and the flash plugin is installed so the wear should be less.

Open Media Vault has been running for a long time. Rebooted the machine because I couldn't access the web gui and the machine didn't come back. Found it sitting on an initramfs boot screen with an fsck error. Manually ran the fsck and the system booted. When it came up web gui would not work - it displayed but I could not do anything - trying to log in gave me a spinning circle which eventually errored out.

Doing some investigation I found that the engined service is not running.

When I try to run omv-engined -d -f I get "Illegal Instruction"

I read something about php5 but I think that was related to a Pi. This is running on a Proliant Gen 9 file server.

Tried first-aid clearing cache and no change.

Any help appreciated very much!

Ok did it with the Debian installer and got the same message - big red screen "Failed to partition the selected disk" This probably happened because the selected disk or free space is too small to be automatically partitioned.

I'm trying to do it with manually partitioning the disk and swap area. It's installing the base system right now.

Since I have an 8GB USB flash drive and my test system has 8GB of ram in 2x 4GB sticks so if I removed one I still would have 4GB and it would likely try to create swap 2x memory and cause it to fail would it not?

I'm downloading the minimal cd image now (350 some MB) ..

Why can't they just fix the installer so it doesn't do that? Would be so much nicer if it just worked!

Hello All,

I'm getting an error trying to install to an 8GB USB drive saying that the device is too small. Clearly that is not the case since the installed OS is taking up less than 2gb on my 4TB spinning drive that I did a test install on.

Why is it so difficult to get this thing installed on USB? It's such a great NAS yet the installer clearly has issues. People are having to resort to installing on large drives, then shrinking partitions and cloning over to another device so they can get it installed on the device they want it installed on or using the parent distro (debian) to netinstall which for me isn't pleasant with only 3Mbit of bandwidth. It took me over an hour to download the ISO for omv.

I've tried installing to my 8GB usb drive on several systems both from a real dvd drive and a usb dvd drive and get the same error no matter where I try. Ultimately I have a machine with 16gb of ram and 16TB (in 4 individual 4 TB drives) that I want to install on and I don't want to use up a 4TB drive for a 2GB install. This machine has no additional sata ports for a separate SSD so my choice was to run on USB except I can't seem to get it installed.

Don't know what to do from here. Please help!!
