Hi there,
I just started using Proxmox VE in a 2-node cluster (9.1.6) setup as a sandbox for educational purposes.
Some VMs already running in the cluster, so far all works well.
Looking at options to perform backups of VMs, I'd like to use USB disks as removable storage.
On another (Ubuntu) system, I am using several sata disks (in a hot swap tray) for the backup where several disks are configured to use (the same) part label instead of uuid.
With this setup, I am able to rotate several disks for backup.
So now I thought I can do a similar approach using USB disks together with vzdump on PVE.
I have configured a USB disk as "directory" in PVE, now finding that the path used is by uuid (/dev/disk/by-uuid/...) which I'd like to change in /dev/disk/by-partlabel
Checking storage.cfg its not configured there, also it is not possible to do so in PVE UI.
Now question is: Can this be done manually in such manner that its retaining PVE updates etc?
Thanks!
Markus
