Creating extra LVM storage issue?

[EpyonGun]

I have followed these steps to a T with no errors of any sort.

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#LVM_Groups_with_Local_Backing

I cannot upload any type of file to the new storage it is still "grayed out"

Am I messing something really simple?

I have also tried expanding it using this method

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Extending_Local_Container_Storage#Create_the_Physical_Extents

I get to the point where I
#resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-data

and get a "Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/pve-data Couldnt find valid filesystem superblock."

LVM is a block device - you can create VM images on that storage, but you cannot upload/store files.

Thank you for clarifying.
What am I looking to create if I'm trying to upload ISO and run instances on a HDD I would like to add?

simply upload the ISO to storage 'local' instead. Or create a file system on the HDD and use the directory backend...

Unfortunately the local is to small for what I intend on doing. Can you elaborate on what you mean regarding createing a file system on the other hdd?
