Hi,

Just a short question. I did some searching but couldn't find any answer.

Is it possible to let a VM boot from a USB drive?

Thanks

Yes, but you need to manually edit the config file in /etc/qemu-server/<vmid>.conf

see 'man qm' for details.

Basically, you can use any block device as VM disk.
