I’m seeking guidance in troubleshooting and resolving setting up a Linstor resource group that I can mount to `/mnt/pve/linstor` on my proxmox nodes. The commands I’ve used are: ```auto root@veroandi:~# linstor resource-group create templates --storage-pool omni --place-count 3 root@veroandi:~# linstor volume-group create templates root@veroandi:~# linstor resource-group spawn templates templates-res ``` My current configuration is as follows ```auto root@veroandi:~# linstor node list ╭──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ Node ┊ NodeType ┊ Addresses ┊ State ┊ ╞══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ skuld ┊ SATELLITE ┊ 172.16.86.9:3366 (PLAIN) ┊ Online ┊ ┊ urd ┊ SATELLITE ┊ 172.16.86.8:3366 (PLAIN) ┊ Online ┊ ┊ veroandi ┊ SATELLITE ┊ 172.16.86.7:3366 (PLAIN) ┊ Online ┊ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ root@veroandi:~# linstor storage-pool list ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ StoragePool ┊ Node ┊ Driver ┊ PoolName ┊ FreeCapacity ┊ TotalCapacity ┊ CanSnapshots ┊ State ┊ SharedName ┊ ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ skuld ┊ DISKLESS ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ skuld;DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ ┊ DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ urd ┊ DISKLESS ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ urd;DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ ┊ DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ veroandi ┊ DISKLESS ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ veroandi;DfltDisklessStorPool ┊ ┊ omni ┊ skuld ┊ LVM ┊ omni ┊ 1.69 TiB ┊ 1.82 TiB ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ skuld;omni ┊ ┊ omni ┊ urd ┊ LVM ┊ omni ┊ 1.69 TiB ┊ 1.82 TiB ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ urd;omni ┊ ┊ omni ┊ veroandi ┊ LVM ┊ omni ┊ 1.69 TiB ┊ 1.82 TiB ┊ False ┊ Ok ┊ veroandi;omni ┊ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ root@veroandi:~# linstor resource-group list ╭─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ ResourceGroup ┊ SelectFilter ┊ VlmNrs ┊ Description ┊ ╞═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ DfltRscGrp ┊ PlaceCount: 2 ┊ ┊ ┊ ╞┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄╡ ┊ pve-rg ┊ PlaceCount: 3 ┊ 0 ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ StoragePool(s): omni ┊ ┊ ┊ ╞┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄╡ ┊ templates ┊ PlaceCount: 3 ┊ 0 ┊ ┊ ┊ ┊ StoragePool(s): omni ┊ ┊ ┊ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ root@veroandi:~# linstor volume-group list templates ╭──────────────────╮ ┊ VolumeNr ┊ Flags ┊ ╞══════════════════╡ ┊ 0 ┊ ┊ ╰──────────────────╯ root@veroandi:~# linstor resource list ╭───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮ ┊ ResourceName ┊ Node ┊ Layers ┊ Usage ┊ Conns ┊ State ┊ CreatedOn ┊ ╞═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╡ ┊ pm-4b4dabf5 ┊ skuld ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:46 ┊ ┊ pm-4b4dabf5 ┊ urd ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:46 ┊ ┊ pm-4b4dabf5 ┊ veroandi ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ InUse ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:45 ┊ ┊ pm-6bec21f4 ┊ skuld ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:44 ┊ ┊ pm-6bec21f4 ┊ urd ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:44 ┊ ┊ pm-6bec21f4 ┊ veroandi ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ InUse ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-29 15:45:43 ┊ ┊ templates-res ┊ skuld ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-30 12:48:11 ┊ ┊ templates-res ┊ urd ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-30 12:48:11 ┊ ┊ templates-res ┊ veroandi ┊ DRBD,STORAGE ┊ Unused ┊ Ok ┊ UpToDate ┊ 2024-12-30 12:48:11 ┊ ╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ root@veroandi:~# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg dir: local path /var/lib/vz content iso,backup,vztmpl lvmthin: local-lvm thinpool data vgname pve content images,rootdir drbd: linstor resourcegroup pve-rg content rootdir,images controller 172.16.86.7 drbd: templates resourcegroup templates path /mnt/pve/linstor content iso,backup,vztmpl controller 172.16.86.7 pbs: aegis datastore terrorbyte server 192.168.86.5 content backup fingerprint ... prune-backups keep-all=1 username root@pam root@veroandi:~# root@veroandi:~# ``` but every time I include the following in my storage cfg all of my nodes disappear from the datacentre page on the pve gui and nonthing shows up under “storage”. ```auto drbd: templates resourcegroup templates path /mnt/pve/linstor content iso,backup,vztmpl controller 172.16.86.7 ``` ---

`path` is not a [valid configuration option](https://linbit.com/drbd-user-guide/linstor-guide-1_0-en/#s-linstor-proxmox-more-than-one-resource-group) for the LINSTOR Proxmox VE plugin. Also, the LINSTOR Plugin only supports `content images,rootdir` types, so it wouldn’t know what to do with storage types `iso,backup,vztmpl`. If you really want DRBD replicated ISOs, templates, and backups, you could look into using [DRBD Reactor and LINSTOR Gateway](https://linbit.com/blog/highly-available-nfs-for-proxmox-with-linstor-gateway/) to create HA NFS shares to achieve this. ---

Thank you for the response. Due to other factors I decided to scrap my linstor cluster and instead use pve’s built-in replication. One issue I did have was adding the DRBD to my `storage.cfg` would work sometimes and other types it would cause the entire cluster to fall over and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why. I assume it had something to do with identation but every time I looked at the file it all looked indented correctly. That said, I do really like the idea of Linstor, and it’ll probably be something I explore again in the future, particularly as PVE’s built-in replication throws me the odd error for reasons I’ve not been able to diagnose.
