Hello everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a physical disk partition (SSD) as a space for files serving a virtual machine or container.
I want to create a virtualized NAS in which the files are always visible and available regardless of the VM or CT (e.g. by physically connecting the disk to another computer).
In Proxmox it seems to me that there is the possibility to create an additional disk (with defined space) associated with the VM or CT, but not to assign an entire physical partition or disk.
Thanks
