Adding USB-attached storage to one node

[starkruzr]

I have a USB3 RAID array attached to one of my nodes. Ideally I'd like to be able to share it among all three, but I don't think that's possible. It would be fine if I could use it on just one node. What is the right way to do this?

There it is at sdb. I'd like to use sdc too.

ETA: Also, I backed up all my VMs before reinstalling with 5.1 to a FreeNAS NFS share which for some reason the new install of Proxmox simply can't talk to anymore. How can I debug what's going wrong there?

Thanks.

Add it to you /etc/fstab.
Yes, you can't attach it to all nodes.

via network, sure ... but via USB? How should that work?

Yes you can't as in Yes, you can not share this to all nodes.

Sorry, honest mistake on my side. I misread you answer.

In my experience, Proxmox after version 4 simply ignores /etc/fstab. Is this not yours?

(Like, specifically, anything that it did not add to /etc/fstab does not get automatically mounted regardless of what you put in there, and you have to manually mount it yourself at the emergency boot command line, every time.)

that is not true. you probably have a wrong fstab line and / or a dependency problem in the generated systemd mount units.
