Wd10eads External Usb Device Driver here. etc, find the lines that deal with the drives e.g -drive file=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA-MYDRIVE-SN,if=none,id=drive-virtio1,cache=writethrough,aio=threads,detect-zeroes=on -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio1,id=virtio1,bus=pci.0,addr=0xb (Yours will be a file if you’ve not passed through a drive) Copy them. Edit the config file for the container and comment out the lines relating to your virtual HDD with a # add the line args: -drive file=/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA-MYDRIVE-SN,if=none,id=drive-virtio1,cache=writethrough,aio=threads,detect-zeroes=on,serial=MYSERIAL -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio1,id=virtio1,bus=pci.0,addr=0xb.
