Hello,

I have an external 8TB sata USB HDD that I use for Media storage that I don't care about the data too much. But would prefer not to wipe.

I had added this HDD to prxmox via Directory. Then mounted on LXCs.

I turned this HDD off while proxmox/VMs were running and turned it back on. Suddenly I had read only permissions to the folders via the LXCs (before I had write access) i could ot work out how to fix it.

I then deleted the storage under Directory (see below) thinking I could then create it again. But now all I see is "no unused disks"

How do I add it and mount etc as RW without losing data?
