Hey!

First time I've installed Proxmox today and only seen some videos regarding it. Have used EXSI before with an old HP server but running and secondary PC now. So I wanted to try out proxmox instead of Windows 10/11 and running virtual box..

I have managed to get two of my SSD and my 1 TB showing up but I cannot get my 2x 3TB disk to mount and to be able to do anything. I have certain stuff on these so I would want to skip wiping them. How can I do it?

I have googled and checked videos but haven't found anyone that apply to what I need to do..

So here are my disks.. My SDA .. SDB and SDF is working because I wiped my 1 TB and my 1 SSD. The other SSD is where proxmox is installed.
 
HDD's with data on it can be mounted via CMD, like this:

Code:
mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUID> /mnt/your-mountpoint

You could also use /dev/sdc or /dev/sde, but this name may change on the next boot. You can get the UUIDs with the following command:

Code:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

Attention, it is not recommended to run VM images or CT's on NTFS, this can lead to strange behavior up to data loss.
Use LVM-Thin or other storage types for VMs and containers.
