Step 1:
On the CLI find the disk with fdisk -l

Step 2:
Create physical volume
pvcreate /dev/sdb1
Physical volume “/dev/sdb1” successfully created

Step 3:
Create the Volume Group
vgcreate Backup-Drive /dev/sdb1
Volume group “Backup-Drive” successfully created

Step 4:
Create the logical volume to use the max space.
lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n Backup Backup-Drive

Step 5:
Make the filesystem
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/Backup-Drive/Backup

Step 6:
Make a directory to mount somewhere.
mkdir /mnt/Backup
mount -t ext4 /dev/Backup-Drive/Backup /mnt/Backup

Create a folder you will map to called Backups or whatever you are using it for.

Step 7:
Added to fstab so it’s there when you reboot.
/dev/Backup-Drive/Backup /mnt/Backup ext4 defaults 0 1

Then add the directory of where the file system is mounted in Proxmox with what functions it will have. Click the different options in the drop down depending on what you want to use it for.
