Hi,
I've got 3 disks currently passed through to a VM using the instructions here:
Passthrough Physical Disk to Virtual Machine (VM) - Proxmox VE
I created 1 partition per disk, each formatted as ext4 using fdisk/mkfs.ext4 from within the VM and this has been working fine for a while.
I'm now trying to move those disks to a physical machine running ubuntu.
The disks show up in fdisk, but whenever I try to do anything with the partitions (mount/fsck etc) i get the following error:
"Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/..."
I've tried this in 2 different physical machines and get the same error.
If i move the disks back to the proxmox host and fire up the VM they work fine.
Is this expected behaviour after partitioning the disks and formatting within the VM itself?
Is there anything i can do to make them available on other machines?
My hardware is:
Dell PowerEdge R420
PERC H310 mini controller
Disks are WD Green 4TB
