I've been trying to install OpenMediaVault 4.1.3 from an usb stick on my HP Microserver Gen8. I created the boot stick in various ways (dd, etcher, UNetbootin) but during installation (in the partitioning step) I repeatedly ended up with the following error message (and later "creating ext4 file system failed" appeared):

error message during installation

To create the stick with dd, I followed the official instructions here. I also made sure that SATA support is set to AHCI and I also tested versions 3.0.94 and 4.0.14.

What can I do to solve this issue?

I've managed to solve the issue in the following way:

  1. burn the openmediavault iso on a cd

  2. format the usb stick with ext4 file system, under macOS I did this with:

    2.1 brew install e2fsprogs

    2.2 sudo $(brew --prefix e2fsprogs)/sbin/mkfs.ext4 /dev/disk3

  3. plug in the ext4-formatted usb stick, boot from cd and follow the installation wizard -> partitioning doesn't fail in this constellation for me
