[Solved] How to mount storage volume on VPS ?

[Fordebk]

I've done that and something goes wrong I think.

debian:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1
mke2fs 1.44.5 (15-Dec-2018)
/dev/vdb1 contains a ext4 file system
last mounted on Sat Mar 20 10:34:17 2021
Proceed anyway? (y,N) y

debian:~$ sudo mkdir /mnt/storage
debian:~$ sudo mount /dev/vdb1 /mnt/storage

Once again, the icon that we can see on my last screenshots have disapeared after these command lines were executed.

Thanks again for everything.

What does do the following command show now?

df -h
lsblk

 

[Fordebk]

It gives me that :

debian:~$ df -h

udev 3.0G 0 3.0G 0% /dev

Furthermore, there is a "config-2" disk I cannot access. Is it the same thing maybe ?

Maybe what does it look like, what did that open before?

 

[Fordebk]

It is just behind the missing icon (see my screenshot on the first attachment).

When I try to open it, it suggests it would be a dvd and I don't know why (second screenshot on attachment).

If I understand : I can not see or access to my storage disk (100 Go) because it isnot correctly mounted and there is a config-2 place which seems to refer to a dvd ? Is it right ?

I make some research but I don't really understand.

Try the following for where your storage device is mounted, then you should be able to write files there as normal user.

sudo chown $USER. /mnt/storage

Only thing I can think of was an iso that was mounted during installation or something like that, what happens when you right click on the config-2 and going to properties, do you see anything?

It didn't worked. Still have no access to my 100 gb storage, no icon displayed.

Should I reset my server and try from the beginning another command lines ?

That was just the permission:
1. Open Thunar
2. Click on Computer
3. Click on Filesystem
4. Click on mnt
5. Right click on storage, Send to Desktop
