[SOLVED] Adding USB HDD

[user789]

Hi all,

I have a HDD connected to my Intel NUC via USB. The HDD is visible in the disks interface in Proxmox. Now I would like to connect this disk to a VM.
I was wondering what would be the best way to do this? I also don't see an option to make this HDD a new LVM?

Thanks!

Use us package. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/usb-automount.39296/#post-298340 Then USBstorages will auomaticliy mounted in sync and a new storage for VM's will be also added automaticly.

If you want to use it exclusively, just usb-passthrough the device.

Thanks for your reply. I tried this, but the HDD doesn't show up as a disk in Proxmox. Does it perhaps require a reboot?

Thanks, I tried that one as well, using the following command qm set 101 -usb0 host=152d:0578,usb3=yes
It does show up in the configuration file of the VM, but when I boot the VM it isn't connected.

I see it is mounted on /media/sdb1. Is it also possible to mount this on a VM instead of the Proxmox host?

Normaly not, this should work immediately. What say's the Journallog during you plug in the USB drive?
