Hello, if possible, unless there is a "community guide" I need step by step how to use my 2nd HD/M.2-Nvme for storage. Preferably encrypted.

I used a web search and got part of the way , however, I need clear step by step, all the way to mounting and actually using the block devices.

I’m not finding I can understand the terminology of

I realize some of it will not be “qubes-specific” if anyone is willing,

If you have both HDD and NVMe, you should make two storage pools, one for each storage type.

actually I’ve 2 NVMe’s ; and progressed to the point, where using the USB attachement widget I can see it as a block device dom0: vol_group-log_vol
I can even attach the block device to an appvm but then don’t see it in the appvm. Granted I’ve no idea if this is the protocol to use a 2nd NVMe or not , maybe it should be attached to dom0 ? which is why I’m asking for something to go by.
