Rockstor incorrectly reports that storage pool contains OS

@johnavp1989 Welcome to the Rockstor forum.

Could you post details of your setup, ie are you running Rockstor in a Virtual Machine or on real hw? Some VM setups are known to produce this result when not properly configured for Rockstor, or udev for that matter. I.e in vmware it is required that you add:

disk.EnableUUID="true"

to your VMX file used to define the Rockstor VM.

@Bill_Kindle covers the procedure in a recent post:

Also note that it is not the ‘pools’ that are marked but the disks themselves, ie the pools page does not show this message only the disks page. But this must be sorted for a stable system as the message indicates.

Also, could you post a screen grab of the ‘Disks’ page showing all your disks. Note that Rockstor has a requirement for all it’s drives (including the system drive) to have unique and stable serial numbers (hence the messages), as all ‘real’ drives do, but not all VM technologies default to passing these serials through or generating them where they are not available, ie with virtual drives. This is an absolute requirement as we depend on the /dev/disk/by-id names created by the udev system and it in turn depends on device serials in order to generate these names and have them remain stable. We do have an outstanding documentation issue on this to update our minimum system requirements:

And we may have a beginner committer lining up to use this issue as a way to learn the ropes as it were.

Hope that helps.
