thanks, will give that a wirl.
on this OMV6 install, its now running great using the internal drive, i am upgrading the other 3 to give me more storage and should be set. i was not able to determine if the cuase is the use of the USB drive on OMV6 or the motherboard with some sort of block but i do suspect this as i am using a Buffalo nas as the system.
Some updates.
i decided to start over, i got rid of the USB drive that was the system drive, installed OMV6 to an SATA drive. while i loose one drive of storage this is more stable. i suspect the issue is the use of the USB drive on this motherboard.
now that its installed i was able to wipe the drives, create the raid and installed the file system. if this works, i am likely to upgrade to much larger drives to make up for the loss of one.
the question then becomes what to do about the other two servers we have with OMV5 running on an external drive so we can use the hard drives, will i have to redo all these also to upgrade to OMV6?
no problem. i went back and started over, wiped all the drives. noticed a note about the partition table size. so i went and wiped all the drives on a PC and converted them to GPT. then wiped them again on openmediavault, no error this time. So, i went back and created the Raid 5, l it synchronized and applied it. went back to file system and it does not show the drive to create a file system. any ideas? i love openmediavault and use OMV5 on two other devices (yet to upgrade), wish i can use this one as its a faster motherboard but may need some other option if this does not work.
actually, the system drive is on an USB SSD drive. the data drives are all internal SATA drives. i went back to wipe them and start over and got an error about the partition table. i am now wiping each drive on a PC to remove all partitions and such. hopefully this works. will report if so.
I installed OM6 on a new machine, after some issues with the image i got it installed with no errors. I have the system running on an USB SSD so i can use all the drives for data. i installed Raid 5 on the 4 drives and it shows clean. but, when i go create a file system i do not see the raid drive at all. nothing there. any ideas?
i have two installations that use USB jmicron drives for the system so the drives are free for storage, this works very well with OMV5 but when looking to upgrade, i saw the notice about issues with this controller. how do i work around this?
as info, i tried the latest installer 6.0.24 and then 6.0.16 with the same result.
strangely i tried running 5.6.1.3 and got an error when trying to format the drive. it does use a Jmicro usb chip so i wonder if that is an issue here.
resolved. in the end i tried the previous version and it finally was able to run the installation. not sure what caused this but so far so good.
i have two servers running on old Buffalo NAS machines. they are both using an USB Jmicro drive to run the system so i use the hard drives for shares only. i read there is an issue in upgrading when Jmicro usb drives are used. can i upgrade from OMV5 or am i stuck? what is the procedure to upgrade if possible?
trying a new install of openmediavault 6. when i run the installer i get an error past the language selections about kernel not being loaded. the clarification says the version in the installer could be different from the repository. i tried the last two versions from the download page. not a Linux expert so i wanted to mention this in case there is a working installer.
after updates to 5.6.13 yesterday, i get these errors via email from two separate installations.

The kernel is arguably the most important package to update for security yet auto updates without rebooting means the update has no effect. On sbc boards, there is no backup kernel in case of a bad update. And people using compiled modules can really have problems.
openssl is probably the next important one. And once again, typically unless you restart the service using it, your update is meaningless.
Your security views are very Windows-based which are very different from a non-desktop, no browser, headless NAS not serving content on the internet. If you are doing the latter, then you should be patching regular and not just relying on automatic security updates.
as you suggested i rebooted and ran updates again, nothing new and i am now at 5.6.6-1 will report if i have more errors, i guess its purdent to do a reboot from time to time, should this be scheduled?
Have you tried the above yet? (Updating under System, Update Management?) If you have OMV-Extras installed, the same can be done in the GUI under System, OMV-Extras, clicking the Updates Button and selecting omv-update. Under Diagnostics, System Information, you want to be updated to OMV 5.6.5-2
tried that but got an error result, tried to copy the log but could not for some reason. the log window seems to reload every few seconds.
i have my omv install set to notify me of errors. not an expert user so please bear with me. i keep getting the below error when an auto update is run.

i am still getting these errors. if i go to updates manually then i dont see updates as if they were done. i am worried that i am getting these errors, is there a way to fix this?

We had two disk failure on our terastation pro. could not recover them so our tech wiped the disks thinking we could rebuild the system. Turns out you need at least one drive as windows storage server is installed on it. buffalo would not supply a recovery usb saying they supply when new and to get another you would have to pay and prove you are the original purchaser. i have no such records so i was out of luck.
Doing research i decided to try OMV. i used an external USB ssd as the system disk so all the 4 drives are now on a raid 5 configuration with some 11tb of space. works great, much faster than the other buffalo NAS that i have. only modificaiton was the external drive and i still have to figure out some sort of fan speed control. the display only says boot to usb as its controlled by bios, no biggie.
