logical volume - lite with Externad hard disks

[lamdacore]

Hello,

I am new to Proxmox and primarily moved to it because of running a bunch of different VMs/Containers to get some work done. However, my issue is with the limited hard disk native on the server and was wondering of forming a new logical volume with external hard disks. Yet, my concern is how Proxmox will deal with mounting the logical volume when the system reboot considering these are external hard disks and can be assigned different labels at boot i.e. if HD1 is /dev/sdb and HD2 is /dev/sdc then upon reboot they can switch i.e. HD1 is now /dev/sdc and HD2 is now /dev/sdb.

How can I manage this issue so that my logical volume remains intact?

Using external disks sounds like something could go wrong easily, removing one by accident or something like it.

If you are worried about the identification use the /dev/disk/by-id or by-uuid paths and not the /dev/sdX. Whatever fits your needs.
