Removable Datastores
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Removable datastores have a ``backing-device`` associated with them, they can be
|
||||
mounted and unmounted. Other than that they behave the same way a normal datastore
|
||||
would.
|
||||
|
||||
They can be created on already correctly formatted partitions, which, as with normal
|
||||
datastores, should be either ``ext4`` or ``xfs``. It is also possible to create them
|
||||
on completely unused disks through "Administration" > "Disks / Storage" > "Directory",
|
||||
using this method the disk will be partitioned and formatted automatically for the datastore.
|
||||
|
||||
Devices with only one datastore on them will be mounted automatically. It is possible to create a
|
||||
removable datastore on one PBS and use it on multiple instances, the device just has to be added
|
||||
on each instance as a removable datastore by checking "reuse datastore" on creation.
|
||||
If the device already contains a datastore at the specified path it'll just be added as
|
||||
a new datastore to the PBS instance and will be mounted whenever plugged in. Unmounting has
|
||||
to be done through the UI by clicking "Unmount" on the summary page or using the CLI.
|
||||
|
||||
A single device can house multiple datastores, they only limitation is that they are not
|
||||
allowed to be nested.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-backup-manager datastore unmount store1
|
||||
|
||||
both will wait for any running tasks to finish and unmount the device.
|
||||
|
||||
All removable datastores are mounted under /mnt/datastore/<name>, and the specified path
|
||||
refers to the path on the device.
|
||||
|
||||
All datastores present on a device can be listed using ``proxmox-backup-debug``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
# proxmox-backup-debug inspect device /dev/...
