Ghost Disk

[_GeKo_]

Good morning,
seems that i have some problems to expose my internal disk to HA VM.
I create a Directory Storage and attach to the VM as below:



On lsblk i view this:

My HAss VM view that disk on sdb with no UUID or label?


Where i wrong?

nothing seems wrong.
sdb in your VM is a virtual disk allocated in your nvme disk in directory storage called Plex.
what did you expect ?

I expect a partition sdb1 in sdb disk when i create a directory. How can i do that?

You can expect whatever you want - but YOU must make it happen!

Proxmox has attached a RAW & unformatted disk called scsi1 in the VM config. Proxmox has allocated that virtual disk on the Plex storage which appears to be on that nvme0n1p1 partition. However, the VM itself has actually no idea where this is actually located - all it sees is a RAW & unformatted disk which the VM appears to have named sdb . (Do not confuse this with sdb on the host lsblk output, as this is the hosts' disk layout & that sdb is probably some usb/card removable storage device). To get your head around this - you could try running lsblk INSIDE the VM to see how it recognizes its' disks.

You will need to partition & format that sdb disk INSIDE the VM. You can search general Linux commands on how to do this.
