Adding drive to Proxmox (not being seen)

[leroadrunner]

Hi, this is a brand new installation.

I have a server with an 1TB SSD where the OS is a second drive 2TB, where I want to store media etc.

During the install, it did see the 2nd drive. I also see it in the BIOS.

But when I do

root@proxmox8:~# lsblk
NAME               MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1            259:0    0 953.9G  0 disk 
├─nvme0n1p1        259:1    0  1007K  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p2        259:2    0     1G  0 part /boot/efi
└─nvme0n1p3        259:3    0 952.9G  0 part 
  ├─pve-swap       252:0    0     8G  0 lvm  [SWAP]
  ├─pve-root       252:1    0    96G  0 lvm  /
  ├─pve-data_tmeta 252:2    0   8.3G  0 lvm  
  │ └─pve-data     252:4    0 816.2G  0 lvm  
  └─pve-data_tdata 252:3    0 816.2G  0 lvm  
    └─pve-data     252:4    0 816.2G  0 lvm  
root@proxmox8

it does not show.

Anybody has seen this? Yes, I did reboot.

Any help appreciated, thank you!

would be helpful to know what kind of drive, what type of host connection/hba make/model. might be good to have a screenshot of the drive showing in bios too.

Ok, I am back. It turns out the drive was defective. Returned.

So, now I see it with lsblk, yay.

Next step, I would like to share this drive or a directory from it across VMs. I know in VirtualBox, I could do this with setting a Share Folder into the VM to the HOST. I have searched, and I see many post about using Samba etc.

Is there a way to do this without using network resource in ProxMox? I am not sure how.

Thank you all

Just in case anyone ever need to do the same. In the end I passed the drive directly to a VM, and then Samba shared that drive on the network.

All good now.
