old Win 2008R2 NTFS HDD pass through to OMV VM on Proxmox

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up my new homeserver based on Proxmox and OMV. OMV is running in a VM on Proxmox.

To transfer all old data from my NTFS HDDs to the new NAS, I would like to mount these to the OMV.

I added 2 HDDs to the OMV VM by

qm set VM-ID -virtio2 /dev/disk/by-id/DISK-ID

Now it shows in my OMV disks as /dev/vdc and /dev/vdd

Both were part of the same Windows Home Server 2011 (2008R2) and only storage disks, as the OS was running on a SSD. I restarted the old system and shut it down, to ensure the disk is not blocked as stated.

Unfortunately vdc it is not showing under file systems. vdd did show up and I was able to mount it.

Do you have any ideas, what went wrong or how to fix this?

Cheers,

Markus

Thats the way I did it. Worked for one disk, but not the other.

I worked it out.

Even though the disk showed ntfs to be located on sda2 on the screenshot, I had to add sda to the VM, not sda2.

I don't know the reason for this behavior, as I mounted on all disks the sdx2 partition.

Therefore my solution is: try adding the ntfs partition first, if this does not work (partition does not show in File Systems of OMV, then try the root partition.
