I love Proxmox I rarely have any issue with anything. But adding a new physical disk and getting it mounted might be the most frustrating thing I've ever done. I blame linux for this more than proxmox. Long story short I keep an 8TB drive locally in my proxmox host for local backups. That drive recently failed and I have a replacement. I'm about 3 hours deep and I still don't have this disk mounted. Everything I read provides different instructions. And now I'm to a point I don't even know how to clean up my mess.
The disk i'm trying to add is sdc partition is sdc1 as ext4. This should be simple, add ext4 partition, mount /mnt/backup, get uuid and and to fstab. But I got lost somewhere...
Thought I had it all figured out but I can't get it to mount in fstab because I can't find the UUID for the sdc1 partition.
