can I use 3 virtual disks per kmv vm?

hi,

I have installed win2k3 ent ed, it works great.
I have added a second disk editing the /etc/qemu-server/*.conf file with

hdb: /var/lib/vz/images/vm-102-drive-d.qcow2, when i stop the vm and start it again I can format the disk, no problem.

Now I wanted to have a swap disk and added a third line to the conf file:

hdc: /var/lib/vz/images/vm-102-swap.qcow2

stopped the vm, started the vm, but i do not see it in disk manager.

what I see in syslog is this:
May 23 08:47:05 localhost pvedaemon[9405]: VM 102 settings applied
May 23 08:47:05 localhost pvedaemon[9402]: WARNING: unknown setting 'hdc'
May 23 08:47:05 localhost pvedaemon[9405]: WARNING: unknown setting 'hdc'

I do not exactly know what the options are for this file or where I can find the documentation for it. Any pointers? I have looked in /usr/share/doc/qemu-server/ but there is only a changelog and a copyright file there.

hi,

I just used "sda" instead of "hdc". this will add a qemu SCSI disk device (in WinXP it emulates LSI Logic 8953U PCI-SCSI Adapter)

qemu-img create -f qcow2 sda.qcow2 10G

and added:

sda: /var/lib/vz/images/sda.qcow2

right, thanks. This has worked, but I had to 'quick format' the partition. Otherwise I could not use it (error 'could not format partition). Weird.
