Hello,

I've installed Proxmox on my home server. I have a 250 GB drive and a 2TB drive. It asked me which drive to use. I selected the 250GB Drive and Proxmox is running like a champ on this drive.

My plan though is to run VM's from both drives. For example, if I wanted to run a VM that has a database, I'd like to split my database and temp/log files across drives. Can this be done in Proxmox? If it can, please point me to the docs so I can read up on how to do this.

My VM with the database is Windows 2008 so I'll need my C: drive for Windows on my 250GB Proxmox disk and my D: drive for my Windows VM on my 2 TB Proxmox Disk.

Is this recommended to have two separate datastores in Proxmox? What are best practices when setting up multiple disks in proxmox.

Thank you.
