G'day,

I've reinstalled Proxmox on my server, and am having trouble adding my existing LVM storage to a container.

fdisk -l

Code:
Disk /dev/mapper/Media-vm--100--disk--0: 7.6 TiB, 8311982260224 bytes, 16234340352 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 3969C18C-3C5A-C54E-8694-40C7C89F8E40

Device                                   Start         End     Sectors  Size Type

my current container config

Code:

hostname: Emby
memory: 16000
mp0: /dev/Media/vm-100-disk-0,mp=/srv
net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1,gw=10.10.10.1,hwaddr=56:09:17:CD:9B:86,ip=10.10.10.3/27,tag=10,type=veth
ostype: ubuntu
rootfs: local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0,size=20G
swap: 512
unprivileged: 1

the error I receive when I attempt to start the VM is as follows:

Code:

I have tried mounting from /dev/mapper /dev/Media.

I did notice that I get the error wrong fs type etc. Any help would be appreciated.
