Got my Raspberry Pi NAS set up with Open Media Vault, how do I create drive partitions?

Got my Raspberry Pi NAS set up with Open Media Vault, how do I create drive partitions? I want to set aside around 1 TB for backup and leave the rest for cloud storage. Thanks

Well, for additional disks(not OS), try this link: blog.zensoftware.co.uk - Build your own NAS part 1: Configuring storage in OpenMediaVault/

 

For the OS disk, try https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php/Thread/13746-How-to-partition-and-use-OMV-system-disk-for-user-data/

I'm an OMV user... Are you using one drive for the OS and the shares? Why do you want to partition?

[G+_David Bruns]

Scott Dible I have the OS running off a SD card. I have one drive, wanting to partition because I plan on using it for backing up my computer and also cloud storage. Wanting to do this so it makes it easier to find files.

Why not just create two different shares on data drive? Is there some reason that you need logical partitions?
