Hard Drive Passthrough

Hi,
I would use for linux virtio and for windows scsi with virtio scsicard.
Sorry Wolfgang, I probably should have been more clear. I am passing through to an OpenMediaVault VM, so I want raw drive access. Everything I can find tells me to use "qm set NNN -ideN /dev/sdX". I guess part of my confusion is I don't know what the -ide portion is actually doing to me. I see there are also -scsi and -sata options. Is this setting the driver I use? My CPU is VT-D enabled, but I don't have a physical SATA controller other than the motherboard to share with it. My hope was to get as close to raw disk access as possible.
Thanks!

i am not 100% sure (more like 99.9%), but it specifies what Bus to use and what Device .
it is analogous to the Proxmox Gui - check here:
Hence Wolfgang is sayig that for linux you should use "virtio" and for windows "scsi"
When he is talking about "scsi card" he is taling about the scsi controller type - check here:
to be 100% sure you understand "qm", you can have a look here:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Manual:_qm
it explains
-ide
-scsi
-virtio
-scsihw
and all the other qemu/kvm command line options in depth.

Some of these answers seem to be talking about apssing through a HDD to a qemu (qm) virtual machine, rather than an LXC container.
It took me a while to get OpenMediaVault working in an LXC container, but you can see my solution here:

Here is the correct link.
