Yes, you need to create and mount filesystems. So, you need to submit a bug report to Volker here
Thank you for the quick response and all the help so far.
I will create the bug report right away

SnapRAID uses the same drive list that you can use for creating Shared Folders. It must not "see" the cciss devices.
To make them show up i need to go into file systems and create a file system correct?
I can create them but it wont mount them and they wont show up in the list. -
Yes
Oke, I will leave that as a option then.But for now, do you have any idea why i cant add drives to the SnapRAID
-
come to think of it, would it be possible to make a RAID array of 2TB drives and a RAID array of 4TB drives and then pool them together with aufs.

If you use mdadm raid 6, it will make all drives 2 tb.Since it is large static media files, use snapraid with two 4tb drives as parity drives and the rest as data/content drives. Use aufs or mhddfs to pool the drives. Schedule snapraid sync daily or do it manually whenever you add more files. I think you would be very pleased with this solution in comparison to flexraid. You can compare to flexraid here.
Im testing it out on a server now, I have a base install of OMV with the OMV-Extras installed.
I have also installed SnapRAID and aufs pooling.I have 11 sas drives listed in the physical disks section of OMV.But I cant add them to the SnapRAID for some reason, do I first have to do something to the drives?EDIT: Oke so i have to add them to a file system first. i tried doing this but I cant mount them for some reason.
I select the drive, i press mount but it still doesn't mount the drive.
Can someone walk me through the process please? -
splendid, thank you, FlexRAID snapshot has served me well so far so this will be great as well.

I understand that I will lose data to the parity.
If that is only 8TB (as 4TB is the highest capacity) then I am happy.
I was just wondering if it wouldn't turn the 4TB drives into 2TB and thereby wasting 8TB (not counting parity that is)
Flexraid used snapshot, i had 2x 4TB sert a party drives and the remaining as data drives. so apart from the 8TB parity I would not lose any capacity.
Can this also be done with the normal RAID 6 within OMV or will I have to use snapshot again.PS: it is mostly large static media files.

Hey, I am planning to switch my server from FlexRAID to OpenMediaVault.
My current server has 4x 4TB and 16x 2TB.
With FlexRAID I could just throw them all together and get a RAID 6 equivalent redundancy while using the full capacity of the system.Though I'm guessing this wont be the case with a more traditional software RAID such as OMV where mixing capacity's usually mean it will use the lowest capacity and get rid of the rest.
So my question to you guys is how I can use the full capacity of all my drives while still maintaining RAID 6 redundancy.
