ProxMox 7.3-6 installed on empty 500gb SSD.
Created a pool with 6 HDDs. created a vm Trunas-scale with the os running on the ssd and access to the pool.
I created a second and third VMs in the ssd. When i tried to create a CT and get to the DISK tab, "Storage: " drop down has no options. Next to it says "rootfs" with a triangle and a "!" inside it.

I can create VM but no CT.
Any help is appreciated.
 
please post /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Hi,
in order to store containers on a given Storage, you will have to allow containers as content type. Try editing this in the Datacenter > Storage.

I really appreciate it.
