Device mount point

I was trying to run OpenMediaVault in a container. The installation was fine but got I a problem that it requires a /dev/sda or something to be able to work, and for containers such disks don't exist. I think device mount point could do it by mapping a whole disk into the container but found no where it can be achieved in Proxmox.

The only thing similar I found was https://askubuntu.com/questions/528...vice-file-dev-sdxy-available-in-lxc-container but the config /var/lib/lxc/***/config seems to be recreated every time the CT boots up, which makes it no longer viable. Does anyone know how I can do it in the "Proxmox way"? Thank you!
 
Hi,
for containers PVE uses the configuration files in /etc/pve/lxc/<CTID>.conf, see here. You should be able to directly add lxc.<OPTION> = <VALUE> configuration directly to the corresponding file.
 
@Fabian_E Hi Fabian, thank you for your reply. I am aware that configs are stored in that path and have searched for a while on the keyword/format of device mount points, but couldn't find any. Looks like everyone is using bind instead. That was the part disappointing .

do you mean something like lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b 8:1 rwm? this is allowed in /etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf files as well, like fabian said.
