I want to passthrough my /dev/sdb to a LXC container running OpenMediaVault.
Running
Seems to work perfectly, and /dev/sdb is visible in the container. Unfortunately this command is temporary and doesn't survive a reboot
The solution seems to be to use lxc.cgroup.devices.allow
I first needed to discover the major and minor ID's for my device:
b = This is a block device
8 is the major ID
16 is the minor ID
Adding this to the container conf:
After adding these two lines, the Proxmox GUI shows the error:
Invalid Key 'lxc.cgroup.devices.allow' (500)
Running
Code:
# lxc-device add -n 102 /dev/sdbThe solution seems to be to use lxc.cgroup.devices.allow
I first needed to discover the major and minor ID's for my device:
Code:
# ls -al /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 Aug 14 21:02 /dev/sdb8 is the major ID
16 is the minor ID
Adding this to the container conf:
Code:
# devices - set profile to allow mounting block devices (constrained by default)
lxc.aa_profile = lxc-container-default-with-mounting
# lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = typeofdevice majornumber:minornumber rwm
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = b 8:16 rwmQuote:
Invalid Key 'lxc.cgroup.devices.allow' (500)
- What am I doing wrong?
- Is this feature not implemented in Proxmox yet?
- Is there a way to achieve persistent block device passthrough?
