How to configure what drive to use?

[LaneaLucy]

I have 3 nodes with /dev/nvme0n1 on every node. Where and how do i tell the operator to use this disk's?

Thx

[chrislusf]

mount the device as a folder

[LaneaLucy]

What about a filesystem?

[chrislusf]

common file system, e.g. ext4, should work

[LaneaLucy]

But there is no fs on the drives. The operator should create them and then mount them and whatever is needed

@LaneaLucy you can create fs manually on your drive, delpoy storage class which can utilize local resource (like rancher.io/local-path, at least I tested with it) and create seaweedfs instance using the operator with setting up spec.volume.storageClassName to the deployed local storage class.

apiVersion: seaweed.seaweedfs.com/v1
kind: Seaweed
metadata:
  name: base-seaweedfs
spec:
  volume:
    storageClassName: local-path-retain

First of all, you can adjust your talos machine manifests to mount your disks to a folder.
Talos has pretty good documentation related to this. I don't know which version of TalosOS do you have, but for the latest one here is the doc. TalosOS user disks managmenr (they have changed a little how you manage a user disks in 1.10 as far as I remember)

@kastakhov thank you very much. This is the part I missed

[LaneaLucy]

@kastakhov maybe you could help me with my locsl path provisioner config?

From what I understand, this should now create my storage class, but nothing happens...
