Hi - I'm at the end of my search... for two days I've been messing with settings and linux commands. I'm no expert on Linux and it's showing.
I have a USB hard drive plugged in to my PC. That is running Proxmox 7.1-7. I have a VM which runs ubuntu and I have Plex installed. I use the USB passthrough for the attached drive and I mounted that. All works perfectly.
I recently discovered the install scripts over at ttek github. Those are so amazing. I've now got pihole, unificontroller, mqtt and plex set up in containers.
My sticking point now is how to get the plex container to access the USB drive. Nothing I've tried works!
I thought I could mount it within the CLI of the PVE, but using
I should add that I have also gone to edit the container conf file, but as there was no mount witin the PVE, there was nothing to create the mount point to. I guess the issue is to just get proxmox to see the bloody USB!!
Am I doing something critically and stupidly wrong here? thanks!!

lsblk - nothing shows up. If I type lsusb I can see the drive. Proxmox must be able to see it as I can select it for the passthrough to the Plex VM.I should add that I have also gone to edit the container conf file, but as there was no mount witin the PVE, there was nothing to create the mount point to.
