Extending the storage capacity of an OpenMediaVault (OMV) system involves integrating a new physical disk into the existing infrastructure. This procedure encompasses physical installation, system recognition, file system creation, and, if necessary, integration into a RAID array or logical volume.
Increasing storage volume allows for greater flexibility in data management, accommodating growing media libraries, expanding backup capabilities, and improved overall system performance. A well-managed storage system contributes significantly to the robustness and reliability of network-attached storage, ensuring data integrity and availability.
