New Install cannot create directory for new physical disk.

[Faust420]

I did a new install on bare metal according to a video PM vid on YT verbatim install went OK but tried to partition 2nd physical disk to /dev/sdb1 & 2 for ISOs and VMs respectivly. Partitioned /dev/sdb from console. I cannot create a directory for the 2nd disk for the ISOs and VMs. What did i miss? Ich bedanken Ihnen im Voraus.

Don't partition your drive from the command line. If there's no data on there yet, you can wipe everything clean with a wipefs -a /dev/sdb.

To use a disk as directory storage, first use "Initialize Disk with GPT" from the GUI, then the disk will show up in the "Create: Directory" window as "unused".

You can then use the Datacenter->Storage menu to select what is allowed to be put on the drive (e.g. ISOs, VM/CT images, backups, etc...)

Thank you Stefan. the 'wipefs' worked nice. GUI GPT worked nice.
