NS8 adding second disk for ibays

Hi folks,

I’m adding a second disk (two in fact for redundancy).
I have done it in NS7 by hand, mount in fstab and running a script to fix the permissions.

Is there a better way in NS8?

Thanks,

Adding disk space is explained in the documentation: Disk usage — NS8 documentation

Hi Markus,

Thank you very much, that did the trick!
But I lost acess to cockpit :frowning:

I’m looking for what has caused, it’s not listening on 443 anymore, so something is not running.

Best regards,

Let’s check if traefik (NS8 reverse proxy) is running:

runagent -m traefik1 systemctl --user status traefik -l --no-pager
runuser: warning: cannot change directory to /home/traefik1: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):tl --user status traefik -l --no-pager
  File "/usr/local/bin/runagent", line 51, in <module>
    read_env(f"{home_dir}/.config/state/agent.env")
  File "/usr/local/bin/runagent", line 40, in read_env
    env = agent.read_envfile(file_path)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/local/agent/pypkg/agent/__init__.py", line 90, in read_envfile
    fo = open(file_path, 'r')
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/traefik1/.config/state/agent.env'

It seems so! :open_mouth:

Maybe the traffic instance isn’t named traefik1? You can check the instance names in the app drawer on the top right or on CLI:

ls /home

OK,
seems like I have two /home
The old and the new one that the script asked me to add to fstab.
If I comment it out from fstab then the server does not boot

Markus,
Thank you for your time and patience, something did not work.
I gonna reinstall and restore!

Best regards,

Hi @mrmarkuz sorry for revisiting this topic once again, but it’s so it can help others.
I reinstalled and tried once again and what’s happening is that the /home is being mounted twice and since the script removes the original files after moving them, I get a empty /home.

It mounts twice because the script asks to add the disk to fstab, but the LVM one remains.

Thanks,
