I've also added an extra virtual disk to my host node which appears as
/dev/sdb. Although the disk is partitioned, /dev/sdb1 is not created.
Is udev broken in oVirt node?

As you write the term "local", if you plan to have only one host and not add any other in the future for this environment, you had better creating a DC/Cluster of type "Local" (versus "Shared") and then a storage domain of type "Local on Host", where you give it the path where you mounted your additional disk (with correct permissions).

I've been using it for many months on one environment with only one very big server (1,5Tb of ram and 2 NVME disks, each 2Tb in size), currently with 36 VMs running without problem. Now at 4.4.10 async 2.

The host is now based on Rocky Linux 8.5 (previously CentOS 8.4) with a standalone engine, also that one now based on Rocky Linux 8.5) that is a VM on an external vSphere environment.

This same environment previously was based on a single host gluster configuration and I converted it to this configuration without loss of VMs/data (I detached and then imported the previously gluster based fs).
