“For all FreeNAS users, please note that it is only necessary to
download and install the ISO once. There is no need of firmware
images anymore, updates will come through small packages as it is
done in all Debian based distros (e.g. Ubuntu). In OpenMediaVault
you also have not to choose between embedded or full installation.
The installer uses the whole harddisk for the swap and OS
partition. There is no ‘data’ partition anymore. So do not waste
diskspace by using a 1 TiB disk Smilie: 🙂 OMV is designed to be
installed on a DOM or small SSD.”
