Hi,

I am trying to use Linode API to assign disk to Linux SCSI device inside guest. I looked at Disk and VOlume API and thought only config

POST is the way to work, but I m running into issues with query.

I have create new disk called datadisk and i want the datadisk to be mapped to /dev/sdb on the guest. It works on UI Profile Configuration menu, but does not work with POST

request below.

Can you tell me what is th problem with below query?
