Attach Backup Disk again

[mare19]

I installed Proxmox on my server, after shutting down the whole server, it could no longer boot on the NVMe. Then I ran the Proxmox installation again. Unfortunately, I get the following error message when mounting from the backup disk.

Error Message: create storage failed: mkdir /dev/sde: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/DirPlugin.pm line 137. (500)

Thank for your help.

Best regards
Marko

It looks like you're trying to add the storage on the path '/dev/sde', which i guess is actually the device you are trying to mount?
What you instead need to do is mount the drive (assumed to be /dev/sde): mount /dev/sde /mnt/mountpoint,
then add /mnt/mountpoint as directory storage.
