We start from an OMV system running and installed on a hard drive that it could be /dev/sda and we want to use part of it as a aditional data storage unit for the system. Efectivily is posible to use sda3 partition on OMV only formating it. Store data on the boot diskAug 13th 2012 The new LVM physical volume becomes visible in OMV web interface and I was then able to use the web GUI to create a volume group and logical volumes - shares, iSCSI LUNs etc.Ĭheck out Store data on the boot disk Used CLI command "pvcreate /dev/sda3" to create a physical volume for use with LVM (unable to do this from OMV web interface).Ħ. Booted OMV and used parted to create a new partition sda3 in the free space between sda1 (root partition) and sda2 (extended partition holding the swap filesystem).ĥ. Booted with GParted Live cd and downsized the root partition sda1 to 15 GB.Ĥ. Install omv-extras - LVM, Flash Memory + activate Flash Memory plugin per the instructions to minimize disk IO by the OSģ. Install omv - sda1 = root partition, sda2 - extended and sda5 -swap.Ģ. Have done a lot of digging and testing and finally came up with a way of using the system disk for user data as well. I've decided to give OMV a try with a 320 GB disk for system which was the only disk available but didn't want to waste so much space for a ~2GB installation.
