Proxmox 6.1 on Ibm x3650 m3 with intel m5015 raid controller

[Arinmal]

Hey everyone!

I have a few questions

first, this raid controller wont allow hdd passthrough, I know theres a firmware crossflash to change that but im not that brave yet.
I have a windows vm that I want to use a 10tb drive as smb share. whats the best way to prepare that with proxmox? (lvm,directory) zfs isnt really an option with the raid controller.

second issue is I also created a lvm-thin on a small drive to hold vm clones...it wont workno matter what I do..

thanks everyone?

please run `udevadm settle` once and then try the operation again

if you have a hw-raid - maybe it's best to go with lvm thin storage (you get snapshots an thin provisioning that way)
