I installed a RAID 1 pair 1 Tb HDD to my system. They seem to work, but I am unable to see the drive in proxmox. I want to install a second NAS virtual machine on it.
I found this guide https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Extending_Local_Container_Storage , but I am not sure about this command
lvresize -l 924296 /dev/mapper/pve-data
My drive is of different size than the one in the example, so I need to put another number. Also I don't want to extend the Local-lvm PVE storage, I want to create a new Local-nsa PVE storage.
I am not very experienced so my questions might look strange. Thank you for the great projects.
 
An NSA Storage? ;,)
You need to create a Filesystem on the disk first (Iirc you need to use the shell), then add it to your /etc/fstab and then ann it AS 'dir' Storage in the GUI.
