does PBS support iSCSI disk?

sdb is a iSCSI disk, I can mount it, and create fs and datastore, how can the disk list command show it ?

I think I just faced the same problem as you, wondering whether LVM thin was supported in my case.

Initialize creates a new GPT, do you need that?

In my case: I forgot to mount the storage.

thank you for reply, I just use the iSCSI disk as normal disk, mount in /etc/fstab and create fs, pbs use it create datastore under dir on it.
Sorry for I don't know LVM thin and I have no idea about it.

In that case, is there a file system on it and is it mounted when you add it as storage in PBS?

I use iscsiadm to add the iscsi disk, then I use fdisk to Initialize creates a new GPT, then mkfs format the partition
then mount in fstab, then create the datastore by dir on the pbs web interface.

Ok, is the problem solved now? Is HLSII the directory on sdb1?

yes, it is ok to use the dir for the backup, only the iscsi disk can't list in the initialized table
