Try using /srv/d0*/kvm instead

Not 100% sure, but I believe if you make changes to fstab, the webUI will over write them the next time you apply changes or an update.
Changes made to fstab outside of the >>> [openmediavault] - <<< [openmediavault] stanza are not altered by omv.

You can not use /dev/sd? lettering. Use /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-? instead.

Post the output of:

Any guide for setting it up?
Not really as I don't use the plugin myself. I configured it by hand in fstab years ago and saw no need to change anything.
But in the plugin you have a choice between specifying file systems (entire drives) or shared folders, or Paths (which is probably what you want).

Can the new openmediavault-mergerfs plugin be used to merge folders on disks ?
Like how the omv5 mergerfolders plugin worked.
Yes.

We have had reports here where low speeds on GB networking were solved by replacing cables. But as it turned out several times, four wire cables were being used, not the 8 wire cables required for GB ethernet.

Hey thanks for the reply! Is there anyway access or remove the data on the rootfs? When I navigate to that directory it shows it as being on my external and not the rootfs so im not sure how to get it off.
You have to unmount the external drive. Once that is done the contents of the directory in /srv will be visible.
-
If a drive doesn't get mounted, or it becomes unmounted and then some process writes to the mountpoint, the data is stored on the rootfs within the mountpoint directory, not on the drive that is no longer mounted to that directory. This is one of the shortcomings of using external USB drives.

How should I backup the os disk?
I use dd run out of an automated script that runs daily.
Any backup strategy is worthless unless you have proven to yourself that the backups can be successfully restored. The time to find out that your backups fail to restore is during testing, not when you have experienced a real system drive failure.

I read that OMV6 is still beta. Does anyone actually have Docker running under OMV6?
OMV 6 is no longer in beta and there are many who are running Docker on it, myself included with 14 containers.

Proftp is a core component of OMV and cannot be removed. But this doesn't mean you have to use it or enable it. Feel free to ignore it.

As a minimum you would have to backup and restore all the data in the path you specified in System | omv-extras | Docker | Docker storage.
But the ownership (by UID and GID number) and permissions would also have to be maintained equal, and this data still is unlikely to be all of what needs to be backed up and restored. If you run Plex for example, its database could be located elsewhere outside the Docker storage path.
I would be fully prepared to essentially have to start over from scratch with all of this if all the restores don't work out. If you have and use docker-compose files starting over will not be difficult as far as recreating the containers themselves goes. But recreating a Plex database from scratch would be a larger effort.
-
A Portainer backup file does not contain any of the actual container data. You would have to backup and restore all that too and hope that it will actually work.
-
If you mount a filesystem via the CLI it will not appear in any OMV dropdown lists for things like shares.
-
/var/lib/docker is the default location, and being on the system disk, is a poor choice.
Did you read post #2?
-
The Docker storage location is what you need to be concerned about. The place to enter this path is System | omv-extras | Docker.

Thanks but that's not going to help. Maybe I didn't explain it properly. I set it up in the browser and saved it but when I logged on again there was nothing there.
