Create Storage failed + All files deleted

[poussun-ops]

Describe the bug

A new 1TB SSD is detected by CasaOS, when I try to create a new 'storage', a window opens during 2 seconds 'storage creation in progress', and closes. Nothing else happens, and no storage created

I connected the disk on a chromebook via USB, format in ExFat. Reconnected the disk on the ZimaBoard, and now the Storage Creation process works

BUT, if I unplug/plug the SSD, or restart CasaOS, the content of the SSD is deleted. LIke if CasaOS is reformating the disk... hmmmmm interesting OS

We are already dealing with the issue of creating the storage space. Also, the issue you mentioned that looks like it was deleted, was it really deleted? Or is it just a problem in FileBrowser?

[poussun-ops]

It is really deleted, at each reboot

It is really deleted, at each reboot

By what means is your SSD connected to the ZimaBoard? I tried NVMe and USB, and the files are still there after reboot.

[poussun-ops]

The SSD is connected via the SATA cable. I tested an USB key, and no such issue But in the interface, both are not showed in the same way:

• SSD is not directly listed, but 'merged' with the internal storage. To see it, I must open 'storage' and there I can see the volumes
• USB key is listed as additional storage on the landing page

The SSD is connected via the SATA cable

I will test the SATA connection again

But in the interface, both are not showed in the same way

This part of the presentation logic we may need to optimize a bit more

Strange, I tested USB, NVMe, SATA and didn't encounter data being deleted. And I talked to my development colleague and it seems that the formatting operation is not actively performed except for manual formatting. Do you have any ideas?

[poussun-ops]

In the GUI, the SSD was not autmatically detected by CasaOS. I had to preformat it in NTFS and/or exFAT to make it 'recognized' After new volume created, and a reformat, I see two different behaviors, after a reboot :

• Sometimes, the volume is available. But all files are deleted
• Sometimes, the volume disapeared and I have to recreate a new volume
• The files stay visible in FileBrowser, even if the SSD is disconnected or reformated :)

But in Command line, I See a volume named /DATA, where my files are accessible, even if the volume is not visible in the GUI. But this volume is not visible in other apps (Plex for instance). How could I make DATA visible by other apps ?

[JohnGuan]

If you need the application to see the contents of /DATA as well, you need to mount the /DATA directory for the application

In the upcoming v0.3.7 release a lot of storage issues have been fixed. Please verify in v0.3.7 and re-open of this is still an issue.
