February 3, 201610 yr I have a 120 gig drive assigned to a VW and its working great. Linux VM. I have a 3TB drive, also on the UnRAID server formatted ext4. The running VW cannot see the 3TB disk ( disk -l ) How do I add another disk ( not combined with the 120gig, just as a separate drive mounted as /video ) to an existing VM? Thanks
February 3, 201610 yr Author Hello, I am in a bit of a pinch to get this working. I have a single 3TB drive waiting to be added to an existing VW ( Linux VM ) and cannot figure out how to do this. It shows up as disk3 ( /mnt/disk3 ) I can put this in the advanced setting on the VW, but I can never see it in the running VM with fdisk I must be missing something. Thoughts or assistance? Thanks

Thanks You cannot add an array disk to a VM like this. If you want to pass a physical disk to a VM it must not be part of the array and you need to pass the physical device (e.g. of the form /dev/sdX).
February 3, 201610 yr Author Thanks. It is not part of an array. Just a disk that is free and not in use. It shows up as /dev/disk3 Under the VM, in advanced mode, under second disk, it shows up as an option , but I don't see it in the running VM after I start it. Thoughts on how I can get this done? detailed help really appreciated! Mark

I would expect it to show up as a /dev/sdX type device if it is connected by either SATA or USB.
February 3, 201610 yr Author In the list of disks, Parity, then down the list, I may have it in the list. Should I be removing it from that list so that it shows up as a /dev/sdx If so, then how to I configure the VM to be able to see that disk? Getting closer to a solution I think. Let me know what you think. Thanks much
