Yes I saw that page but for some reason the block storage will not attach..
This is the drive that has 1.5TB partitioned
The data is here--
/dev/vdb1: PARTLABEL="1.7TB" PARTUUID="a39bbb0f-f68f-4741-9483-71334ccc9f18"I tried this link below and it wont connect..?
/dev/vdb1/by-uuid/a39bbb0f-f68f-4741-9483-71334ccc9f18/ -
This is the latest change and I still cant attach the drive in Cloudron

What is the error message in the UI?
@girish I am new to linux command line and networking and hardrive attachment. I solved it which is what I thought the PARTUUID I thought was enough it wasn't I needed to reformat and assign just a UUID which I knew but I didn't understand that PARTUUID and UUID are different. So I got it working after assigning a UUID to the formated drive using ext4 format. Then I created a folder and moved the mounted drive into the /media folder then attached a File Mounted folder.

@zion I am not sure I fully understand your process there, but generally a disk partition is just a section of a hard drive. That section then has to be formatted with a filesystem, in this case ext4. This can be done via
mkfs.ext4 /dev/<you partition identifier>. Once that is done, you should be able to just use the Cloudron dashboard UI to add it then. This makes Cloudron create the mountpoint for you. -
