SD Card not showing up.

[optimus1509]

How do i make my SD card show up in the disks section for the node? My sd card shows up in the shell when I use

lsblk

but when i navigate to disks there's no sd card showing up there, are sd cards not supported as storage in proxmox?

 

[optimus1509]

anyone?

It's quite possible that SD-cards are not shown because Proxmox does not expect them or are not considered proper storage (like the Proxmox installer ignoring them). The work-around is using the command line instead of the GUI.

^^ This. You may have to add the entry from lsblk manually in /etc/fstab, mount it, and then add it as a Directory in Proxmox Storage.

I've not been able to get Proxmox to see it. I have the same problem. I want to use the SD card to save a small config file only.
The proxmox host can see it with lsblk. I've mounted it. It is already partitioned as HPFS/NTFS/exFAT but any option in the Proxmox UI to use it shows "no disks unused". Same for "create directory" in "Directory", or any other option like zfs, lvm, etc. (not that I would).

I haven't tried with another filesystem but has anyone else got any other thoughts what could be the problem?

In Datacenter / Storage, Add / Directory -- if you already have it mounted on the host

thank you. That worked. I was adding it from the node's hierarchy, not the datacentre one.
Now I can try to see how I can put it to use.

Hello, could you please detail the steps?
Should we first mount the SDCard from the node shell before go to Datacenter in the UI? Any particular path where to mount the SDCard?

Thanks

 

[pengu1n]

Those are the detailed steps
And yes in my case I had to have it mounted first. No particular path but I assumed and did as usual on a path under /mnt/
