PVE 3.1 RDM into KVM Guest

[moritzcorpus]

hey folks,

asome forum! learned so much from all of you guys.

the keyfeature for my usecase of proxmox ve is raw device mapping into a vm (KVM guest).
is there any way to to so?

i haven't found a way to be honest.

purpose:
to use the special file system natively(!) in my vm whithout having a additional file-system-layer installed into the debian of my proxmox-host.

i recently switched from VMware ESXi 5.5
there you could do s.th. like this: http://blog.davidwarburton.net/2010/10/25/rdm-mapping-of-local-sata-storage-for-esxi

I am not sure if I understood you correctly, but if you want a pass-through drive you can just add a line in your conf with something like:
ide3: /dev/sdx
