    Struggling with USB 3 PCIe card passthrough - works sporadically

    I noticed that I can view an external hard drive, which is plugged in to the PCIe card, in Disk Management (the built in Windows one). It is Disk 1 in the snapshot below. However it's not mounting, despite being a perfectly valid FAT or NTFS volume that I can use on other machines. Right...

    Struggling with USB 3 PCIe card passthrough - works sporadically

    I successfully flashed the firmware that was mentioned, and even installed the latest drivers just in case. Zero change.

    Struggling with USB 3 PCIe card passthrough - works sporadically

    Beating my head against the wall with this. I am running the latest PVE on my Dell R620, been about a year since I first installed it. I have a Windows 10 VM which I am trying to pass a 4-port USB 3 card to, but it almost never functions properly. I have the system set up already for PCIe pass...

    Backing up VMs to a network location in different subnet - what is the best approach?

    Interesting approach. I actually don't have a switch in the works, it's all virtual at the bridge/bond level. The LAN goes out to my wireless AP, and all of my devices connect that way. I suppose I could move my NAS (TrueNAS VM, using HBA card passed through) onto the WAN bridge, but then I...

    Backing up VMs to a network location in different subnet - what is the best approach?

    Latest Proxmox, running in a home environment. I have the "local" disk only containing the host install, and have the VMs themselves stored on a 8-drive ZFS array. I have scheduled backup tasks for my small VMs (firewall, TrueNAS, etc) to the "local" SSD since there is some room left on there...

    PCIe Passthrough for HBA - blacklist driver question

    Thank avw. Thanks to USPS losing my package, the SFF-8088 cable is still not here, so I have yet to actually try passing it through with the JBOD connected. I am just basing this off of the other 'help' threads I found on the topic, where many users were having I/O issues due to the module...

    PCIe Passthrough for HBA - blacklist driver question

    Thanks for the reply - you actually exposed something that I cannot believe I did not notice. The Device ID is the same for both cards! Which explains the last post I made. Weird, as one is a H710 mini mono (Dell proprietary form factor) and the other is a more generic LSI card. Below are what...

    PCIe Passthrough for HBA - blacklist driver question

    I should mention that I am an a neandarthal with only the most basic knowledge on any of this, learning as I go. If there is a better option such as passing through all 12 disks seperately to TrueNAS I would entertain that option as well.

    PCIe Passthrough for HBA - blacklist driver question

    Thanks! I went with the option to add those 2 lines to vfio.conf, which I already made for my GPU passthrough. Followed by update-initramfs -u. I did update with my device ID, 1000:0087. However after a reboot, the lspci -v command reveals that the vfio_pci module was being loaded not just for...

    PCIe Passthrough for HBA - blacklist driver question

    Hello, new member here, I finally made an account. I am also relatively new to Proxmox and still cutting my teeth; I have it running on a Dell R620 in a homelab environment. This has 8 local drive bays, through a H710 PERC card flashed with IT mode firmware. Works great, these drives comprise a...
