emmc disk not shown up in Proxmox GUI

[wmd1942]

Hi,

I installed Proxmox on Dell Wyse 5070's M.2 SSD and it runs great. However, the emmc drive does not show up in GUI of (node disk). The only disk I can see is the main storage (M.2 SSD) as /dev/sda. If I ssh into the node, the fdisk does report Proxmox detected it:

#fdisk -l
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 29.12 GiB, 31268536320 bytes, 61071360 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 52B292F8-D17D-407F-B1FB-0B066980A72F

My question is how I can make it available in GUI so I can use it as local storage. Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

WEB GUI shows only block devices with the usual names as "sd...", "hd...", "nvme..." etc. - it's not usual to use a mmc card as storage, however, possible. Very easy in case of Storage type "Directory": crate a filesystem on it, mount it and define the mount point as path in the Storage definition. Also creating LVM as well as ZFS is possible by using the basic commands for creating LVMs and zpools and defining the Storage afterwards.

Hi, it may help if you try to make eMMC device available to be seen at kernel level.
Previously, I tried to flash my eMMC with Proxmox directly but I figure out that Proxmox for the mean time does not support ARM64!
I followed some of this brilliant geek instructions to make eMMC available for the Linux-based OS
Flash eMMC via usbboot

For my project check this:
Install Proxmox on Raspberry Pi CM4 eMMc
