Hi, I am trying to find a way to upload the pics of the output I keep getting an error.

@dyacishyn For some reason this is Sometimes broken. I shall see if I can fix this. Meanwhile I may ask you to upload the picture to an external picture upload store and post a link here.

@dyacishyn Thanks for uploading the pictures elsewhere.

Looks like the new disk / partition is kind of prepared but we still don’t know if this is formated. Please run the following commands. Copy&paste the output here or take pictures again:

file -s /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /images
ls -al /images

PS: Uploading pictures is working again. The issue was client_max_body_size in nginx config was too small (default was 1 MB - made it 5 MB now). So you should be able to upload larger size pictures now. Anyhow it’s still wise to downsize pictures before uploading.

@dyacishyn Looks like I was wrong. The partition on the new disk does not have a filesystem on it as we see by the output of the file command. Do you remember if you missed the mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 command?? I suggest you issue that command (again).

I won’t be liable for any loss of data. Formating a disk with a new filesystem will overwite whatever is on there now.

mv /images/.mntcheck /root
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb1 /images
mv /root/.mntcheck /images

If this is all fine (no errors) you might just do another server reboot to make sure it’s all fine.
