attach-disk domain-id source target optional --driver driver --subdriver subdriver --type type --mode mode --persistent --sourcetype soucetype
Attach a new disk device to the domain. source and target are paths for the files and devices. driver can be file, tap or phy depending on the kind of access. type can indicate cdrom or floppy as alternative to the disk default, although this use only replaces the media within the existing virtual cdrom or floppy device; consider using update-device for this usage instead. mode can specify the two specific mode readonly or shareable. persistent indicates the changes will affect the next boot of the domain. sourcetype can indicate the type of source (block|file)
NB: don’t add bus field & address type rec; these are auto generated.
This works for anyone else who reads this, then you just restart vm, login and fdisk as usual.
PS I amended the container dir ownership/perms to match vm images dir
Code:
drwx--x--x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 30 11:56 images
drwx--x--x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 30 15:31 dir_pool
