@dazeb
Thank you for your great work.

But why not improve the script to sail around user imput errors?

Its easy to request the needed info from proxmox.

pvesm status

here is mine:

root@pve:/etc/pve/lxc# pvesm status                                             
Name               Type     Status           Total            Used       Available        %
local               dir   disabled               0               0               0      N/A
local-btrfs       btrfs     active       487861252       366537424       118699936   75.13%
local-zPool         dir     active      3131481344       332993536      2798487808   10.63%
pvePool         zfspool     active      2827707936        29220018      2798487918    1.03%

This will list i.e. all storage names, types and state of storage.
Show the relevant infos as radio list and let the user select one of them.

No more input errors :slight_smile:

Here is a simple script to make this happen :joy:

#!/bin/bash

# get all active storage names into an array
storage_Names=($(pvesm status | grep active | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f1))

# get all active storage types into another array
storage_Types=($(pvesm status | grep active | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f2))

# lets find how many names are in our array 
storage_Count=${#storage_Names[@]}

# create a new arry for use with whiptail 
storage_Array=()
I=1
for STORAGE in "${storage_Names[@]}"; do
  storage_Array+=("$I" ":: $STORAGE " "off")
  I=$(( I + 1 ))
done

# lets select a storage name
choice=""
while [ "$choice" == "" ]
do
  choice=$(whiptail --title "DietPi Installation" --radiolist "Select Storage Pool" 20 50 $storage_Count "${storage_Array[@]}" 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 )
done

# get name of choosen storage
Name=${storage_Names[$choice]}
echo 'Name: ' $Name

# get type of choosen storage
Type=${storage_Types[$choice]}
echo 'Typ: ' $Type

exit
