      @olivierlambert Sorry. I'm new to this. Can you point me to a description of how it should look? Thanks. I appreciate your patience.

      @stormi
      Your help is much appreciated!
      I was able to yum install sm-additional-drivers. Excellent. I rebooted and the fstab was still saying ext3. This is shown below. To test further, I deleted my SR (a 6TB disk) which was EXT3; used parted and other commands to create a new partition which was EXT4 (shown below) and then used the following:
      xe sr-create content-type=user name-label="Store1" shared=false device-config:device=/dev/sdc1 type=ext

      It created EXT3 LVM2_member type storage repository.

      So, that's my question. How to create an EXT4 SR?

      Thanks.

      I hope my testing shown below is helpful.

      You asked where I found the outdated docs. I found the outdated instructions I used the first time around at the top of the page in https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/839/new-ext4-driver-please-test-it
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      (updated on 2019-02-07 to add installation of updated sm and sm-rawhba packages)

      We introduced in testing, a new extra driver, using ext4. Please test it and give your feedback. To install it:

      yum install sm-additional-drivers sm sm-rawhba --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing'
      xe-toolstack-restart
      

      My testing follows:

    • RE: XCP-ng 8.1.0 beta now available!

      New to XCP-ng.
      Upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 Beta. No problems. Having problems with Local Storage and EXT4 though. I saw that sm-additional-drivers package is still required. Tried to get it via:
      yum install sm-additional-drivers sm sm-rawhba --enablerepo='xcp-ng-updates_testing'
      Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
      Error getting repository data for xcp-ng-updates_testing, repository not found
      Questions:

      1. How to properly download/use sm-additional-drivers package?
      2. Should /etc/fstab be modified and EXT3 be replaced with EXT4?
      3. The command:
        xe sr-create content-type=user name-label="Store1" shared=false device-config:device=/dev/sdc1 type=ext
        works but creates an EXT3 filesystem even though the 6TB drive has an EXT4 partition. How to change the command to create EXT4?
        Thanks!!!
