agreed ....
but still, there should be a way to get it !!
And is it possible to force the creation of the path while manually modifying the config.xml. When I look at it, I still have the uuid field to be filled in, which again does not exist in my case with the openVZ container...
In my opinion, yes, no reason it would not work.
Follow the same instruction pasted above, and just connect to your host in SSH to correctly apply the command line.
Hi,
Yes I have done that on my local machine. I have windows 7 as a host, virtualbox installed on it, and OMV as a guest.
You have to follow the instruction there https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
I personnally implemented what is stated in 9.9.1.1.
I did it twice for my two 2TB hard drives, and then, once recognized by OMV, I just used the RAID management service of OMV to create a RAID1 partition. Easy.
Regards,
Arg still stuck since loop device is not supported by openVZ.
I know that FUSE is supported.
Any other clue ? Do you think that mounting a local filesystem through sshfs would be possible ? I tried it so far but without sucess.
Does anyone have a suggestion ? I may not be the first one to try to install OMV on a hosted openVZ VPS 
Thanks again
Thanks a lot. I will try that and let you know.
Best Regards,

Hi,
I have installed OMV on my virtual private server (bought at weloveservers.com) that runs a Debian 7 within one OpenVZ container.
I had a few trouble completing the installation but thanks to that forum I managed to go through common issues such as missing dependencies, apache2 / Nging conflict and in the end missing DNS address to be added manually.
It now works fine, and the behaviour of OMV is the same as the one I have on my local NAS. However, I am stuck with a crucial item to really make use of it : impossible to find any filesystem and then, impossible to deploy any of the services that require a volume field.
I am pretty sure it is linked with the openVZ container; I read quite a lot of documentations around the internet, but no actual lead to find a solution.
A bit more information about my conf :
"fdisk -l" does not return anything (not even an error message !)
"df" command line returns the following :
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 62914560 1984476 60930084 4% /
none 1048576 4 1048572 1% /dev

none 922620 4 922616 1% /run/shm
none 102400 0 102400 0% /run/user
Any chance some of you already solved that ?
Thanks a lot in advance,
PS : Please, apologize if my explanations are poor; I am a linux newbie, and I must say that I do not know anything about openVZ except that it is not "classic" virtualization tool...
