Mount folder to /dev/sdb

[WDRed]

I am trying to figure out how to mount a folder to /deb/sdb to store ISO images in that directory. When I try that, I get the following error. Can anyone help?

root@pve:~# mount /dev/sdb ~/ISOStorage/
mount: /root/ISOStorage: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'.
root@pve:~#



The reasoning behind this is that I want to be able to cd into a directory and wget the ISOs from the web for the OSs that I want to create a VM for.

Thanks for your help.

To mount a block device to a directory you need to first layer a filesystem on top of it. You appear to have only created an LVM volume on /dev/sdb. You need to format it with one of many Linux filesystems.

I would very much like to do that, except it now appears that after configuring eno2 with an IP, I can not longer get to the WebGUI. I have to work on that first.

I'm sorry if I appear uninformed on how to do all this, and that is because I am uninformed and am trying to figure things out on the fly. I welcome any and all helpful advise.
