Hi There
I've recently assembled a computer that I wish to use as a proxmox server. Configuration as follows
Mother Board
SABERTOOTH 990FX Revision 1
CPU
AMD FX 8120
Ram
Corsair 32GB (4x8GB) Vengeance CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10R DDR3 Red
WD Sata Blue 500 gig drive
I was trying to install from an external usb CD Drive but was getting the same error I searched the forums here for the mobo and stated update the bios of the mobo which I've done to the latest revision I still get the same error
So I borrowed a sata cd rom from work and tried again but I got yet the same error. I've reburnt the CD a couple of times and tried both 3.0 and 3.1 versions of proxmox.
I'm going to assume it's a possible hdd drive issue so I'm searching for another hard drive to use as I chose a 500 gig drive just for OS and VM's I plan to use build a storage array once I've got the VM's configured the way I want them on this drive.
The error I'm getting is below I've searched for pointers as to what it could mean but as of yet I've been unsuccessful in finding anything that's too helpful.
command mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -F /dev/pve/data failed with exit code 37 at /usr/bin/proxinstall line 177
I'm assuming from my limited understanding that it's failing to make a ext3 filesystem for some reason does this suggest that the HDD is at fault? I'm just going through the default installation nothing fancy.
I did see someone suggest to install from a USB thumbdrive but I can't seem to get that to work via unetbootin takes a proverbial age to write to the thumb drive and then isn't usable anyway.
really looking forward (and hoping it's possible) to get this thing set up it's a bit of a beast of a machine and I'm pretty excited to get it going I'm just hoping I've not bought components that require some overly laborious method to get working, as I'm sure I'm going to repeatedly stuff the install up until I get it the way I want it.
Looking forward to hearing any tips
thanks!
