Hi All, I have a CentOS 7 VPS and have blown up my install twice so I thought I’d reach out and see what you folks think. The “normal” methods of getting the UUID and FSTYPE return these results ![3-23-2020 4-10-11 PM](https://lc-storj.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/d/dcab6e0cb9c3f3969caa09aec0dfbe6af5999ac7.jpeg) . Problem I have when I add the UUID and such to the FSTAB it nukes my install. So I was curious if there is another way since I’m dealing with an LVM…

Hello @BBQMan,  
Welcome to the forum!

As far as I can see, you already have a volume “centos-root” mounted as root. You have nothing to mount.  
I wouldn’t recommend to use a spanned drives for the storagenode storage. With one disk failure the whole node is lost.

Ah, OK the server is up and running fine but I was trying to setup the FSTAB per the instructions [https://documentation.storj.io/resources/faq/linux-static-mount](https://documentation.storj.io/resources/faq/linux-static-mount)  
And was having the problems. So I should just proceed with the install of docker and such like always and not worry about it.

This server is a VPS and it has the RAID subsystems.

Thanks for the help!
