unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:08 PM

rapid nacelle Aug 21, 2022, 3:11 PM

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

rapid nacelle mount somewhere

that doesnt work

rapid nacelle Aug 21, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

why

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

I set the owner to everyone already

#

I can create and delete files in the drive rn

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:12 PM

#

anyways
did you guys know
you can point to the actual harddrives

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:13 PM

#

rapid nacelle why

it has to be a block device not a mountpoint

rapid nacelle Aug 21, 2022, 3:13 PM

#

no

#

oh

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:13 PM

#

jagged hull anyways did you guys know you can point to the actual harddrives

like just put /dev/sda for the path of the vm's disk

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:14 PM

#

#

did i select the wrong options then? i dont know much about linux

#

i am literally brute forcing my way through setting up a computer rn

#

should i be picking disk instead?

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:16 PM

#

unborn drum

that's just creating a pool

#

a pool is just a directory where youd want vm disks organized

#

but youre not going to use one

#

youre going to use an actual drive

#

just close those 2 window
and just put /dev/sda

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

#

success

#

also

ebon gust Aug 21, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Haven't read previous chat but just mount the hdd and put the path to the mount point chickenman

ebon gust Haven't read previous chat but just mount the hdd and put the path to the mount ...

not what they want

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

was that supposed to fill up instantly or did i fuck something up

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

unborn drum

youre not using he actual drive

#

bruh

ebon gust Aug 21, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

jagged hull not what they want

Shouldn't have said anything without reading chat harold2

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

i said use the actual drive instead of making a vm disk

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

I thought i did

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

you didnt

#

did you point to /dev/sda?

#

delete the vm and the created virtual dosk in /var/lib/libvirt/images/pool

#

create a vm
choose iso one
point to your iso
when it asks for virtual disk
point to /dev/sda

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

i might be retarded

#

am i not picking filesystem directory?

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:24 PM

#

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:25 PM

#

#

#

i press the plus in the bottom left

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:25 PM

#

stop making a pool

#

close those 2 windows and show me pic

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:26 PM

#

#

it defaults to the top option

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:26 PM

#

change /hokehsjsidush
to /dev/sda

unborn drum Aug 21, 2022, 3:26 PM

#

jagged hull Aug 21, 2022, 3:26 PM
