[SOLVED] Can't use newly installed drive as directory.

[Syndicate]

Hi, I installed a new drive but I get this error when I try to create a new directory for storing backups. What am I doing wrong?







I tried initializing the drive as GPT first but it doesn't work either




***************************************************************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format

Non-GPT disk; not saving changes. Use -g to override.
TASK ERROR: command '/sbin/sgdisk /dev/sdb -U R' failed: exit code 3


EDIT 2:

I did the following:

Created a new partition sdb1
formatted this partition using: mke2fs -j /dev/sdb1

Then I:

mkdir /mnt/bak
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/bak

And then I added the new directory from datacenter->storage but the thing is only 119mb instead of the entire 250gb.


EDIT 3 : I was stupidly trying to use a 120mb partition, not sure how THAT ended up there, decided to use the bigger 210gb partition instead.



Thanks!
