Hello,
I'm brand new to Proxmox (just got myself a Microserver Gen8 to mess around with a semi-pro server) and as soon as I tested it, I got hooked ! It's so flexible and intuitive that even though I'm still tempted to go with a regular server OS, I just want to make it work with Proxmox.
I'm a newbie and I'm facing a problem with, I guess, multiple solutions.
My installation occupies an SSD only dedicated to proxmox and its VMs.
I'd like however to make the 3 other physicals from my server available to these VMs (OMV+Debian for a start) and I'm facing difficulties to make it work properly.
I tried to use the "qm set <vmid> --ideX /dev/sdX" method which works in that the OMV VM see the drives but I can't make anything with them (can't change their file systems or share them).
I also tried to add them using the "Add" option in the VM Hardware after adding the disks in the Storage menu of the Datacenter, after preparing them using this tutorial. The disks can be mounted in OMV using that technique but again, shares don't work. Besides, I get really weird results with somes drives having only 10% of storage available, while they are all empty !
What is the cleanest and most flexible solution to mount exiting hard drives in Proxmox to make them available to all the VMs ?
Thank you !
