parserError trying to access storage/volumemanager

[Seth Tipton]

I am getting this error while trying to access anything under the volumes section. This is a fresh install and I haven't changed a single other thing.

Can you please paste the full traceback?

I DID use a 2gb flash drive as opposed to the 4gb I hear I should use. Could that be the issue? And when I try to "view disks", there are no drives listed when I have 4 2tb drives attached.

YES! Try a 4Gb drive.

Although the doc's might still say you can use a 2Gb flash drive, I always recommend at least 4Gb. Some 2's aren't quite big enough.
