You cannot use your LUN directly as it's a block device, and you need a file system to put the backupfiles. So you have two choice: A) * create a fstab entry for /dev/sdb1 pointing to /mnt/my_mount, mount it * add a directory mount point in PVE for /my_mount ( in gui, add storage -> directory) B) Create an NFS export from your SAN to PVE. As NFS is file based, you will be abled to use the storage directly to put your backups. I advise you B. Iscsi is fine, but to store backup files is not its optimum use case here. _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
