Mount a Drive by ID in Proxmox
First find the ID of the drive you want to mount.
Note: In this example, we're mounting the partition /dev/sde1.
-
Open the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) web console.
-
In the Server View (lefthand pane), find the node under Datacenter and open the PVE node's shell.
-
For this example, we want to mount
/dev/sde1. Note the partition number1in the device path β this is a partition, not a physical drive (which wouldn't have a number, e.g./dev/sde). -
Create an empty directory where the partition will be mounted:
mkdir /mnt/datassd -
Get the ID and filesystem of the drive by running (substitute
sde1with your partition):lsblk -f | grep sde1Output:
ββsde1 ext4 1.0 fb08fe41-01c5-4c2f-8b2e-c3bb600007b4 1T 38% -
Test mounting the drive via the
mountcommand:mount -U fb08fe41-01c5-4c2f-8b2e-c3bb600007b4 /mnt/datassd -
If it mounts and works as expected, edit your fstab with the ID and filesystem:
nano /etc/fstab -
Add a line like this (substituting your ID, path, and filesystem values):
/dev/disk/by-uuid/fb08fe41-01c5-4c2f-8b2e-c3bb600007b4 /mnt/datassd ext4 rw 0 0 -
Test reloading your fstab like this:
mount -a
