Hi @big-oxygen-89163, Because the harvester uses the immutable OS, I recommend you use our fs-toolbox image.
Copy code
<http://registry.opensuse.org/isv/rancher/harvester/toolbox/main/fs-toolbox:latest|registry.opensuse.org/isv/rancher/harvester/toolbox/main/fs-toolbox:latest>
You could format the disk on this image for mounting. We already have the related xfs kernel module so it would be OK to mount once you have a formatted xfs disk.

Hi @big-oxygen-89163. Sorry for the late reply. There is a document (https://harvesterhci.io/kb/scan-and-repair-vm-root-filesystem#scanning-the-root-filesystem-and-repairing) have some tips for using this image for scanning/repairing xfs filesystem. I thought you may get something with it to do a similar thing like
mkfs.xfs
. If you would like to know more about it, feel free to let me know. Thanks!
