[SOLVED] Keep getting exit codes

[Bartjuuh]

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a server. This server has 2x 4core xeon and 28gb ram. I installed Proxmox on it and when I try to make a directory it keeps spitting out exit codes.

Can some one explain what I am doing wrong because I do not understand what is going on here. I have tried serveral disks and it gives me exit code 2, 3 or 4. Most recent one is 3!
Greetings Bartjuuh

What is the output of the following?

fdisk -l

By "make a directory" you mean using a new hdd as directory storage?

In this case something like this might get you going. Beware, might destroy data if you don't adapt to your use case exactly!

fdisk /dev/sdb (with g, n, w (rest default))
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /media/newDisk
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/newDisk
touch /media/newDisk/template/iso/test.iso

By "make a directory" you mean using a new hdd as directory storage?

Yes I think I meant this. What I was trying to do is to get an folder in the directory page in my vps

In this case something like this might get you going. Beware, might destroy data if you don't adapt to your use case exactly!

fdisk /dev/sdb (with g, n, w (rest default))
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /media/newDisk
mount /dev/sdb1 /media/newDisk
touch /media/newDisk/template/iso/test.iso

Is some thing like this right?

Be careful before using the write command.

I think I need to upload the image (iso) now? And this folder I created won't show up in the Directory tab on the proxmox environment?

Yes.

Once you have mounted the partition you can go to the Proxmox VE GUI. Choose Datacenter->Storage->Add and enter the mount path in the field directory. You can then upload your ISO files in the web interface.

Thanks this worked for me!!

I want to have access to the server from anywere I am but don't want to give all my information to the open internet. Should I use a proxy or some sort of firewall?

 

[Dominic]

Great!

Proxmox VE has an integrated firewall that is based on iptables. You could also install a firewall like pfSense in a virtual machine.

In my case I've got the error:

command '/sbin/sgdisk -n1 -t1:8300 /dev/sdb' failed: exit code 3

This was due to a dos partition table.
Your drive must have a GPT partition table.

After converting my partition table to GPT the problem was solved
