I was very excited to learn about the petasan solution.

However during my test in the vultr.com cloud, after uploading the iso and starting the installation.

The installer proceeds normally I add the network interface information and after selecting the installation disk the system cannot identify any disk.

in short it is not currently compatible with the vultr...

The iso version is: petasan-3.0.1

is seems they use paravirtualized disks /dev/vdXX instead of /dev/sdXX. You can try their baremetal servers.

True disk types are vdxx
In summary, I believe in petasan's potential, due to the ease of managing storage for high availability...

who know in a future update does not support paravirtualized disk

Config Vultr.com - Block Storage

Create new empty partitions:
# parted -s /dev/vdb mklabel gpt
# parted -s /dev/vdb unit mib mkpart primary 0% 100%

Create new empty filesystem:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb1
