Please, execute `sudo mount -a` Have you created a `/mnt/storj` by the way? If not, please do it: ```auto sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1 ``` ---

Yes, you need to create it ```auto sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1 ``` Then ```auto sudo mount -a ``` ---

Do you have an access? ```auto ls /mnt/sdb1 ``` If not, depending on how you would run your docker node - with `sudo` or without - you can change the owner of the disk to your current user (in case of not using `sudo`). Since you tried without `sudo`, I can assume that you added your current user to the `docker` group. In this case you can create a folder for your storagenode on the disk and change the owner to your user: ```auto sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1/storagenode sudo chown mario /mnt/sdb1/storagenode ``` Now please, check it: ```auto echo 1 > /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt cat /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt rm /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt ``` There should not be any error. ---

You didn’t create a `/mnt/sdb1/storagenode`, you missed a command ```auto mkdir /mnt/sdb1/storagenode ``` > [@marioahing2001](#): > > no i didnt have it running earlier But you have folder `storage` and config file there.

```auto sudo rm -rf /mnt/sdb1/storage ``` If the test with new folder `/mnt/sdb1/storagenode` went ok, you can setup your node: ```auto docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \ --mount type=bind,source=/home/mario/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode,destination=/app/identity \ --mount type=bind,source=/mnt/sdb1/storagenode,destination=/app/config \ --name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest ``` ---
