February 16, 20233 yr I'm trying to passthrough one single nfts partition on an unassigned nvme to a windows VM. If i assign a vdisk to /dev/disk/by-id/drive-part# i can see the partition's data block but need to format to use it, and can't see data already on the partition. If i pin the controller and passthrough the whole drive with "other pci devices" the data is available but I lose access to the other partitions. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just How It Works? this video from spaceinvader that i've watched about 10 times seems to indicate that i should be able to passthrough a partition seemlessly, but he was also using a sata drive and not a pci nvme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaB9HhpbDAI edit: had a derp moment - I hadn't tried to assign a vdisk to /dev/disk/by-id/drive yet. This lets the VM read/write to the nfts partition and my workstation can still read but not write while the VM is active. This is *most of the way* to what I'm trying to do, but ideally the other partitions on the nvme wouldn't be write protected while the VM is running. Edited February 16, 20233 yr by sage2050
