📄 Problem Description
Currently, OpenCloud supports only a single local filesystem path for user data storage (e.g. /var/lib/opencloud).
Even when multiple physical disks or partitions are mounted and available on the host system:
❌ Only one storage path is actively used
❌ Additional mounted disks are ignored
❌ No built-in mechanism for distributing data across multiple storage locations
❌ No native storage pooling at application level
This limits scalability and flexibility for self-hosted deployments such as home servers, NAS systems, or multi-disk setups.
🎯 Feature Request
Introduce native multi-disk storage support inside OpenCloud, allowing multiple independent storage paths to be used as a single logical storage pool.
This should work with any mounted filesystem supported by the host OS, without requiring:
❌ LVM
❌ RAID
❌ ZFS
❌ mergerfs / unionfs
❌ any external storage aggregation layer
Add a web interface feature that allows administrators to:
✅ view available storage disks
✅ select one or multiple disks for storage
✅ assign disks to user storage or system storage
✅ optionally combine disks into a single storage pool
🧾 Clarification: Existing storage_users Section (Demo)
The current configuration includes sections like:
storage_users:
events:
tls_insecure: true
mount_id: 7ceddffb-c13e-4fea-861a-b595d7363aff
service_account:
service_account_id: 60da5e96-5c15-44aa-af48-650a048b3552
