I added an NVME to my HA yellow. It detected it via UI and CLI, but I can't complete the "move data disk" via UI. It shows up as a selectable option (first screen shot) but clicking it does nothing and never shows it selected (second screen shot). I noticed the size is listed as 0. Is this expected? My only idea is to connect it to a linux computer to reformat it, but I was hoping this is possible via HA.

Please run this in the SSH app
apk add lsblk
lsblk -o+FSTYPE,LABEL,PTTYPE,MODEL
so this at least shows ~500 gb for size which is expected, but any clue why it's not letting me move data to it?

Too bad the other columns only work on the OS shell. What I can tell you though is that this isn't properly formatted. You could try to remove the datadisk or wipe and reboot/restore.

yeah, makes seense. Thanks. Too bad you can't do this via HA. Do you know why it can't or if it's a feature that could be contributed?
fortunately I have another device that accepts NVME but I could imagine other people not having that option

Can't do what exactly?
bitter cloud
sorry I may have misread your reply. I thought you suggested removing the NVME SSD from my HA yellow and wipe/reformat it with another device that is capable of doing that. My understanding was HA itself is not capable of wiping/reformatting new drives.

You can get a OS shell like this but the OS is very stripped down: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/e9a4a07b184eb393d2ff762e3b1b0a05#through-advanced-ssh-addon
No ability for wipefs for example. What I meant is to use ha os datadisk wipe.
bitter cloud
gotcha, thanks. would ha os datadisk wipe wipe the entire system and require a full restore from backup? Would it wipe/reformat the NVME in the process?

In this current state I'm not sure. It's supposed to "wipe" the "disk" with the hassos-data label.
I can try to look into where the system stores the datadisk information. Maybe we can just refresh that and you can try again.
Or maybe move works.

hmm yeah I tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=512 count=34 but it says operation not allowed. I could always plug it into my other linux desktop so I could run wipefs or some other tool to explicitly wipe it then retry. I was hoping to just do it all from HA though.
FYI too

See first link. You need to get an OS shell to run commands like this.

I removed the NVME and wiped it with a Linux machine running proxmox. Nothing has changed after installing back in HA yellow, still unable to move data disk and lsblk looks the same. Am I doing something wrong for the move data disk functionality? Would it be better to do a clean wipe of the HA yellow all together so that I restore from a backup to the fresh HA OS install hopefully on the NVME?

Might be something NVME namespace related. What's the lsblk look like on the other system? Also check nvme list and look into the namespaces.
