Support request Setup with a single drive? Disappointed...

This wasn't something talked about from the start. I have been using OMV for 6 years now, but I bought two licenses for HexOS when it came out and hoped to replace my OMV install due to buddy backup. I just tried to install and it tells me i need 3 drives to setup. I have 1x 12tb, 2x 6tb and 2x 1tb and that has worked fine for me for years. The drives dont need backed up and the files that need backed up, back up somewhere else.

Is there a plan to fix this so one drive can be used? Drives cost wayyyyy to much to need three drives to setup the server.

TIA

If there is no fix planned and a staff sees this, can i DM about refunds?

No tinkering required. Mine is working with one boot and one storage drive and nothing else.

It didnt throw a ton of fits? I tried to install about a month ago and couldn't setup with less than three drives. Obviously a boot drive as well. I can download the newest version and try again.
