Hey,

you can simply mount your logical drive into a folder of choice - https://access.redhat.com/documenta...tml/deployment_guide/s1-filesystem-ext4-mount

Then open your Proxmox webgui Datacenter > Storage > Add > Directory
Where ID is your human readable name which will be displayed
And Directory is the path of your mounted logical drive which you mounted beforehand

Remember that

mount block_device /mount/point

is not persistent. ie. on host reboot it will not be mounted

If you want to enable persistent mounting of the file system, remember to update the /etc/fstab file accordingly:

nano /etc/fstab

That's correct! Thanks for cheering up

with the help of arch wiki - it's pretty simple explained to implement https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/fstab
