I've been searching for quite some time and haven't found a clear answer. There was a question from 2012, but the answer was that the limit on the number of SATA drives was going away. So I need some help/clarification.
I'm in the process of deploying a home server with Proxmox. I'll be using Fedora as my Docker host and utilizing Rockstor to manage my storage needs. I have a mix of 10 different sized HDD's which is why I'm looking at btrfs. When I modify the .conf file for the Rockstor VM, I'm only able to pass 5 HDD's via SATA. When I tried SCSI, I could only pass 2. So my question is, is there a limit on the number of pass-through drives and, if not, what should the configuration look like to pass all of the HDD's via SATA into the VM? Rockstor currently requires that they are passed via SATA.
I've been adding them by using the following:
nano /etc/pve/nodes/proxmox/qemu-server/114.conf
I then modify the config to include:
sata0: /dev/disk/by-id/{serial number}
sata1: /dev/disk/by-id/{serial number}, etc.
