that's what i set :
upload_2016-12-21_13-3-12.png

And that's my filesystems config

Code:

And in the disks in the Web interface of proxmox :
upload_2016-12-21_13-39-45.png
But when i use the /var/lib/vz/backup he gives me 16GB which is the free space in my pve disk , so the problem is with the hd2 i think.
How can i fix that ? (it looks like if the HD2 volume isn't reachable)

Thank you

what is the output of
Code:
mount

?

you should not choose /dev/hd2/backup as directory storage, because it is a lv (a blockdevice)

if you want to store backups on it, you have to create a filesystem on top, mount it somewhere (e.g. /mnt/backup ) and choose that
as directory storage

as you can see the sda1 is not mounted and i tried to mount it but i got error : unknown filesystem type 'lvm2_member'
can you give me full command + the /etc/fstab configuration please

Thank you
 
It's ok , i did what Dominik said and it works ,
So just the ones who are googling and found this topic , you have just to create an lv (backup in my case)
then u create a directory /mnt/backup
and then do a filesystem in the lv using mkfs.ext4 in my case :" mkfs.ext4 /dev/hd2/backup "
and then mount it using mount /dev/hd2/backup /mnt/backup

In the end i wanna thank Dominik another Time
