I'm trying to install a pass through hard drive to the VM. The proxmox box sees the hd as /dev/sda. I have added the line virtio0: /dev/sda to the vmid config file, and tried to install the drivers from the ISO on the wiki page. Once I try to install the drivers in the VM i get this,

Hi,
can you install the driver with an normal raw-file as harddisk?
Do you have access to your sda inside the vm if you use ide0 instead of virtio0?

When I add the device as ide1: in VMID.conf file, it sees the 1TB drive in computer manager but it sees it as 1449mb and 4 different partitions when it is only 1 NTFS partition.

The 1tb drive i'm trying to add is NTFS format, and has data the user needs to access within the vm.

I figure it might be better to explain what I am trying to do overall with Proxmox and see if it fits my needs.


What I am wanting to do is create a Virtual Server that can deploy some machines with a virtual system(20gb) and virtual data drive(1tb) partitions.


When we deploy a VM, we want to migrate NTFS raw data off a drive that we put into the system and have it pass to the data drive so the user can access the data within the VM. So the user never access teh data directly off the drive, only the data that we move to the VM data drive.


I'm open to suggestions as a best method to have in place for this, do we need to have a sperate volume we can load the data to then migrate it to the VM or have the vm map a drive to?
