Connecting to SSD in Step 6 Errors

Post by zenmartian »

Hi! I am trying to download YAMS onto my Proxmox container and I have completed the pre-steps for Proxmox users as well as added and mounted the SSD within the storage options in Proxmox

When I am starting the script it lets me pick the user, and where to install, but isn't letting me pick the mounted ssd also saying it's not writable/readable. From reading past topics it seemed similar to the need chown to my user for that pathway (/my_ssd) but it gives me Operation not permitted errors. Not sure where else to turn, any help?

Below is my current error:

Extra info: I have /my_ssd connected to /mnt/pve/Media and added this in the container.conf file: mp0: /mnt/pve/Media,mp=/my_ssd

Thank you

Hey @zenmartian!

In the YAMS installer, you need to choose the mountpoint for your drive. I'm not sure if your mountpoint is /my_ssd.

Make sure your YAMS user owns the directories inside the mountpoint and has the correct permissions to write. I'm guessing you are mounting your drive using your fstab file? Verify your permissions are correct on there.

Cheers!

Roger.

I decided to go with a VM instead because the container was acting up too much for me. Thank you though!!
