proxmox 1.4 / Local storage / existing hard drive with existing datas

[tbardin]

Hello there,

I own a server with 4 local hard drives (SATA and IDE) :

• 160 GB (SATA) - /dev/sda1 - where all the vm are stored (one fedora, one ubuntu desktop, one ubuntu server)
• 3 HD (SATA / IDE) - /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1/, /dev/sdd1: data I wan't attach to only one VM (unbuntu desktop)

I follow the instructions located at : http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model#Use_local_devices_.28like_.2Fdev.2Fsd...2F.2C_FC.29
but the physical drives are not listed in the VM when I run a fdisk -l.

Moreover, all the disks are full of data and I want to access them within my ubuntu desktop VM, so I don't want to destroy them.

How should I do ?

Thank you.

You can add that manually to a VM with the 'qm' command. For example

# qm set <VMID> --ide0 /dev/sdc1

see 'man qm' for details.
