Hello,
Hi,
in Datacenter->Nodename->Disks there is a column "Usage" which shows what filesystem is being used for the disk. I have 2 System disks (ssd) which contain the proxmox system and they are being used as ZFS mirror, i.e. i can put virtual machines on rpool/data The other harddisks (ordinary large sata disks) are being used as passtrough devices, i.e. have added them with command like qm set 100 -scsi5 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HGST_HUH721212ALE600_AAGVE62H as raw disks to virtual machines, i.e. they are used from a single virtual machine. From the Disk View in Webgui, you cannot differ between thos, i.e. they simply look "the same" from a hosts management perspective. Wouldn't it make sense to make a difference in the Webgui when a disk containing filesystem/data which is (and should) not being accessed on the host/hypervisor level ?
In general i agree with you that this would be nice. The problem here is that during the disk enumeration, we do not touch vm configs (also i am not even sure if we could do it that easily because of package dependency chains) and thus have no information which disk is used by vms
I would feel much better if proxmox knew some "the host OS should not touch this disk at all" flag and if it would have an understanding of "this is a disk i (can) use" and "this is a disk i can't/should not use"
if a disk is not used by a mountpoint/zfs/lvm/storage definition/etc. it will not be touched by pve (normally) so this is only a 'cosmetic' issue
passing through a disk to a vm is always a very advanced feature that can be very dangerous (thus it is not exposed in the web interface) so the admin should already know what hes doing...
