[SOLVED] Plex, Arrs, and storage

[purplebarbyman]

I'm so sorry... I feel like this has been asked 1000000 times and I still can't figure it out. I have followed like 15 guides and all lead to the same path, Each time I think I figured it out, its not right. Finally admitting defeat and asking for help.

I got my proxmox set up, got everything running and installed... I used the helper scrips for most, Everything looks to be configured correctly in all the settings...

Where I get stuck is.. I have 2 External Hard drives connected to my Proxmox PC, I'm trying to use those as my storage for my containers to access/download ect...

Ive tried doing it via ZFS, tried with ext4 format. I actually got close with what I wanted but realized that each container couldn't talk to eachother and share the directories... i just had created seperate directories on each one.

I currently have a 14TB. i created a EXT4 Directory and that is: mnt/pve/mediatv

Recently followed this guide (thought this was the one) https://hakedev.substack.com/p/prox...mpaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Made the directory on the node, made directory on the container.

Found the UUid and created the mountpoint in the nano /etc/fstab file

MyUUID /media/TV ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 0
mounted it by doing a systemctl daemon-reload followed by mount -av

went to: nano /etc/pve/lxc/105.conf and edited that

mp0: /media/TV,mp=/media/TV

saved that did another systemctl daemon-reload followed by a mount -a

rebooted the container

after rebooting the container i can see the mount point in there as mp0 /media/TV,mp=media/

Everything looks right, looks correct... but when i got to the sonar website and try to add that directory as a media management it says it only has like 3.4g of storage available and not the 14T

not sure where i'm messing up in these steps, but if someone could guide me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Can you post the output of the following commands on the host (please put it in CODE tags, so it is easier to read)?

lsblk
df -h
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
cat /etc/fstab
pct config 105

Hopefully that all looks right... currently the SDC drive is ext4, but i can def switch it and move it to ZFS

 

[purplebarbyman]

I ended up figuring it out. Not sure how to close this but, it’s solved

@purplebarbyman Care to share how you fixed it? I'm having same issue...

Hey I actually followed this guide and it seemed to work. I think I was having a hard time mapping them correctly, but this helped me. Hope it helps you
