[SOLVED] Use sda drive as storage

[LuiMen]

Hello,
is it possible to use the hard disk on which the operating system is installed also as datastorage?
I have 2x 2TB hard drives. One is already used as storage.

What do you mean by "datastorage"? Do you want to use it for a PBS datastore?
And what filesystem is your system disk using?

Sorry, I mean backup storage.
I use ext4.

Create a new folder on your root filesystem and then edit the /etc/proxmox-backup/storage.cfg and add lines like:

datastore: NameOfNewDatastore
        path /path/to/new/datastore

I had to add the storage over the gui. Otherwise the permissions would be wrong and the neccessary folders in .chunks are missing.
Now it works. Thank you!
