i did that and now its not showing my vms at all.

the vms were working for a while as an array so how would i go about making them a network share and will they have access to al drives or just a couple of my choosing? also would you recommend doing it this way or removing them from the array and doing a passthrough?

if its not apart of the vm how does the vm use it? it has a ssd used for windows and a couple game but a hdd for mostly evrything. how would it have windows if its not apart of the vm?

so would i just need to un-mount the drive?

not entirely sure it was a while ago and i had someone help me but for the first vm i posted the XML for you.

im back (thomas). heres the xml for the first vm <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <domain type='kvm'> <name>Hallie</name> <uuid>781e1920-3b69-1f69-da80-2c64b4c3d523</uuid> <metadata> <vmtemplate

hey just so you know thomas left and asked me to help with this, Im his roommate and i have no idea what any of that means, if you could please simplify it for me that would be great. thank you

my vms are set up as follows 1 HDD 1 SSD Doesn't recognize SSD (wont run) 1 HDD Doesn't recognize HDD (wont display) 1 HDD 1 SSD recognizes both in Unraid and runs but while in VM it doesn't show HDD space or able to use it despite it being formatted. Also every so often my keyboard stops working in the VM but that's a minor issue comparatively. pain-diagnostics-20230729-1611.zip

i think i might've deleted a BUNCH of data unnecessarily from your "help"

can you please send over another moderator or someone better at actually helping.

there is no "disk management" tab or option anywhere

you are INCREDIBLY unhelpful

how do you re-format within a vm?

is there anyone else you can contact who understands better to assist you in this?

that means nothing to me and doesnt help in the slightest. please respond with a solution

they were set to auto and would go into NTFS and when i made them XFS instead the issue still persisted

the problem is my vms stopped recognizing some of the drives assigned to them and wont boot now because of this

all 3 vms i have aren't recognizing drives properly they say A -2/932 gb B -1/0B C -2/962 gb they have A -480gb SSD + 1 TB HDD B -1TB HDD C -480gb SSD + 1 TB HDD

re-formatted them but the vms still arnt recognizing them pain-diagnostics-20230430-1700.zip

it s not giving me the option to change them from NTFS -> xfs like the others, is the FS the issue?

yes
