Disk not recognised running Spinrite as a Proxmox VM

For anyone (or my self in the future) who runs in to this, I also had this problem and tested through a bunch of config parameters but finally got my 4TB "raw" hard disk to show up correctly in SR, seemingly even with SMART.

Important for me was to use version 9 of the "Machine", add the disk as IDE (even though it´s physically a SATA drive) and use the LSI scsi controller.

qm set 105 -ide0 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000DM004

Glad to hear it! I reported to Steve the same behavior under VirtualBox, that you can map disks to the IDE controller and they’re recognized but map to the SATA controller and the disk is not seen.

thanks for this, it also worked for me. However this just confirms the old NAS drive I bought is broken, no bad sectors but very slow and seems to only do small operations like quick format. I rebooted on bare metal and I get the same results on spinrite.
