[SOLVED] why no directory on root drive

[anakwaboe4]

hey,


I'm quite a newbie to some of this stuff and I use proxmox ve on my server to dirtohop and try out some stuff.

Now i have an old laptop on witch I would like to back up some vm's. So I installed Proxmox backup server on it.
the issue is that the laptop only has 1 drive and I found that it is not possible to make a directory on the free space I left on the drive.

Is this correct? And why is this?
I would love to learn what the reason might be or if there is a way to get a datastore on the root drive?

Thank you for your time.

Greetings anakwaboe4

Create directoru manual from sh
# mkdir /backup
and add it using web-interface in datastore

oh that is just a normal linux directory. That makes me feel stupid.
I taught it was some "special" proxmox directory.
thanks for the clarification.
