Hi, im rather green about this proxmox thing.

Id like to understand in the GUI on a standalone PVE ,the difference between, datacenter >storage , and adding storage there. And the menu on the node, un disks > LVM / LVM Thin / Directory / ZFS.

i added a directory storage via CLI command : pvesh create /storage --storage TEST --type dir --path /mnt/TEST/ --content images,iso,backup

The storage shows up under the node on the left, but if i go to disks > Directory its not showing.

I don't really get it.
 
Welcome to the Proxmox forum, volniy!

The directory listing under the "Disks > Directory" tab shows only the PVE-managed directory filesystems, which were created with the POST API endpoint of [0]. There's not much difference, but PVE-managed directory filesystems are mounted automatically at boot, while mounting a self-managed directory (i.e. through pvesm add/pvesh create /storage) must be handled by the user themselves.

Hope this clarifies this for you.
