I'm trying to understand someing, I have a couple directories which don't show up under the Node -> Disks -> Directory tab, and I don't understand why.

my /etc/pve/storage.cfg is
```
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content vztmpl,backup,iso

lvmthin: local-lvm
thinpool data
vgname pve
content rootdir,images

lvmthin: vms
thinpool vms
vgname vms
content images,rootdir
nodes <server2>

dir: backups
path /var/lib/proxmox_backups
content vztmpl,images,backup,iso
nodes <server1>,<server2>
prune-backups keep-all=1
shared 1
```
Given that both backups and local are 'dir' type here I expected them to show up here. I'm probably just misunderstanding what I'm looking at.

On other nodes I have backups configured like
```
dir: backups
path /mnt/pve/backups
content snippets,backup,images,iso,rootdir,vztmpl
prune-backups keep-all=1
shared 0
```
which do show up. I've noticed that `local` never shows up under directories on any of my machines.
 
all of the directores do show up at the bottom of the lhs of the screen as different "storages".
