Hi there,
I guess it's a minor problem, but I can not grasp what's the cause. My background in Proxmox and BRDB is just a couple of days, so I'm lost.

Installed LINSTOR/DRBD as described on their pages and configured a container in Proxmox pointing to the LINSTOR/DRBD storage pool created during the setup. Setup is 2-node Proxmox nodes with local disks and a Raspberry as QDevice / DRBD (Linstor) quorum (diskless satellite, exclude from replicas) only.

Clicking on Finish after CT definition leads to the error:

Code:
NOTICE
  Trying to create diskful resource (pm-8cc08eac) on (pve-1).
blockdev: cannot open /dev/drbd/by-res/pm-8cc08eac/0: Wrong medium type
mkfs.ext4: Wrong medium type while trying to determine filesystem size
TASK ERROR: unable to create CT 100 - command 'mkfs.ext4 -O mmp -E 'root_owner=100000:100000' /dev/drbd/by-res/pm-8cc08eac/0' failed: exit code 1

Creating the resource on the command line using linstor client also shows the error:

Code:
# mkfs.ext4 -O mmp -E 'root_owner=100000:100000' /dev/drbd/by-res/vm-789-disk-0/0
mke2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023)
mkfs.ext4: Wrong medium type while trying to determine filesystem size

Ideas? Hints?
