container and mount a local storage

[informant]

Hi all,

i have a question. if we have a hp dl380 server with 8 hdds. 1 or 2 hdds we use for proxmox and ct´s and the other 6 for a storage in raid5. how can we add the storage to the containers as storage space? for exsample: ct1 = storage folder test1 with 500gb space and ct2 = storage folder test2 ... with 100gb space? What do we must do on install to use 2 partitions for proxmox or what we must do here or configure in proxmox? or does it works only for vm´s? I hope you can give me informations. very thanks

regards

Hi,
look for "bind mounts" with the search function.

ok we can create a mount file for ct1 and ct2 with a mounted folder. nice... but the using space for ct´s, how can we deklar this for exsample 100 gb for ct1 and 500gb for ct2?

Hi,
"man vzquota" shows

One container can mount several filesystems and each of them can have its own quotas

But I use bind mounts only for one CT (backup) where the CT can use the whole space.

Ah ok,

it´s also better, we use a vm with a 2nd hdd with location of the storage - right?

No,
use vzquota - but I don't need vzquota with bind mounts.
