[SOLVED] bind - lxc access to an ext (usb) ssd

[mforum]

Hello everybody,

I am new to Proxmox and I am really impressed what is possible with Proxmox. After reading some tutorials, I was able to setup my server with two linux containers and a linux VE. In detail - one docker container is up and running as well as my NAS (VE) with access to my external disks. Yes!

Only two steps to finalize my installation are still to be done. With the first step I have my problems:


Problem situation
===============
I want to give my first container more disk space and have added a external usb ssd (1 TB). The ssd is mounted and accessible. With "bind" I have tried to give my first container read/write access. But this is not working. Here the error message I get:


Error Message
============
root@srvpve:~# pct set 100 -mp0 /media/ssd1tb,mp=/media/ssd1tb
vm 100 - unable to parse value of 'mp0' - format error
mp: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties
mp: property is missing and it is not optional
vm 100 - unable to parse value of 'mp0' - format error
mp: property is not defined in schema and the schema does not allow additional properties
mp: property is missing and it is not optional


Details
======
- check mount
root@srvpve:~# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 960310988 1064 911471884 1% /media/ssd1tb

- I have created a user 1009 and group 1009 in the container and have changed the owner accordingly:
root@mmsrvpve:/media# ls -al
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 13 11:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 May 4 08:41 ..
drwxrwxr-x 5 101009 101009 4096 Jun 13 15:42 ssd1tb

- modified 100.conf
root@mmsrvpve:/media# more /etc/pve/lxc/100.conf

Any idea what I have overseen?

Solution - I have (again) repeated every step with following changes:

- 100.conf
this time i have not edited the file instead I have used the command line. automatically this new parameter was added to the config file.

- full reboot
after this change I have done a complete reboot of the server and not only a reboot of the container

Well, I am not sure what the problem was and if these two steps really were the reason why it is working now.

Anyway, now I have the access to the usb ssd. Case closed!
