I have recently added a fresh installed host on 4.4, with 3 x nvidia gpu's
which have been passed through to a guest VM instance. This went very
smoothly and the guest can use all 3 host GPUs.
The next thing we did was to configure "local storage" so that the single
guest instance can make use of faster nvme storage (100,000 iops) compared
to the network iscsi storage which is rated at 35,000 iops.
The caveat with local storage is that I can only use the remaining free
space in /var/ for disk images. The result is the 1TB SSD has around
700GB remaining free space.
So I was wondering about simply passing through the nvme ssd (PCI) to the
guest, so the guest can utilise the fill SSD.
Are there any "gotcha's" with doing this other than the usual gpu
passthrough ones?
Also my apologies if this is duplicated. I originally asked this [1] a
couple of days ago but I am not sure what happened.
Kind regards,
Tony Pearce
