Version 2.1 by Kevin Wiki on 2024/08/26 21:40
Adding external high speed VM storage to proxmox. Find the new drive and erase it and then format using parted:
# format drive and create partition
parted /dev/nvme0n1 mklabel gpt
parted /dev/nvme0n1 mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
# create a ext4 filesystem
mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1
# add to fstab
printf "\n/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/vmstorage ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
# mount drives defined in fstab
mount
parted /dev/nvme0n1 mklabel gpt
parted /dev/nvme0n1 mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
# create a ext4 filesystem
mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p1
# add to fstab
printf "\n/dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/vmstorage ext4 defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
# mount drives defined in fstab
mount
