I'm running proxmox on a asrock J5005 m-itx motherboard with the sata controller passed through.
I want to migrate to my new motherboard, an asrock H370-m/itx with an i3-8100. This board has 6 sata ports and I want to passthrough 4 ports.
Unfortunately, all six ports are on the same controller, so controller passthrough is out of the question( I like to use the nvme sata slot as bootdisk).
Disk setup: 2x 980GB SSD and 2x 3TB drives.
The problem is with the ssd drives: if I do a controller passthrough, drives are visible as ssd drives in XPenology and trim is possible.
If I do a raw disk passthrough( qm set <vmid> -sataX /dev/by-id , xpenology boots, I can see the disks, but they are seen as normal HDD's, not SSD's.
So SSD Trim is not availlable/usable I think, virtio drivers are not availlable with 1.04b loader( so I cannot enable the discard option.)
The goal:
Run proxmox as hyper visor
Get the ssd's recognised as ssd's in xpenology to avoid wear out.
Keep the current nvme ssd as boot drive.
Not my favorite possibilities:
- boot Proxmox from an usb disk and do sata controller passthrough, loosing the nvme disk.
- Manage raid config in Proxmox instead of DSM, but this makes it less transportable.
