Failed when I created Directory Storage

[Leonardo Ramirez]

Hi, I have a disk free in my server (dev/sdb), and I use web interface, menu DISKS->Directory createirectory, and choose disk /dev/sdb, filesystem ext4, name local-pve4, and press button CREATE.

And I got an error message:

# /sbin/sgdisk -n1 -t1:8300 /dev/sdb
The operation has completed successfully.
# /sbin/mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1

Any idea why I cannot created mount that disk.

thanks,

Are you sure that the disk was really clean before? Please backup first, then adapt, double check and try the following:

umount /dev/sdb1
wipefs -a /dev/sdb
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=200
pvesh create nodes/<your_node>/disks/directory --device /dev/sdb --name local-pve4
