Hello,
i've installed proxmox (8.2.x) on a fresch device as rooky. I followed all instations of the GUI installer.

After succuessfull installation, i've create a VM (debian backworm) via GUI sucessfull.
Now i want to bind a local mout to the new VM

All instructions/support articel reference to /etc/pve/lxc on the host maschine. But this directory is empty. Instead i found the VM Config in /etc/pve/notes/*/qemu-server/

I've add following:
mp0: /<host mount>,mp=/<vm mount>

But this doesn't effect.

Allso the command pct doesen't work: File not found in /etc/pve/notes/*/lxc
This directory is allso empty.

Do you have any advice for me?
 
mountpoints only work for containers and not VMs. For VMs, you best use NFS or SMB like you would with a physical machine (where you also can't share a drive).
