Hi
I searched the forum for topics with title 'disk' and found 2 posts but none with a satisfactory solution.
I am trying to create a second disk for a node i'm deploying. this is to deploy freeNAS and using the second disk as my shared volume.
The cdrom.iso is that of freeNAS and the qcow2 is a regulard disk for freeNAS to install onto.
I tried 2 approaches to force the node to have a second disk.
1. deploy with one disk and once it is deployed, create another qcow2 image to place in the /opt/qemu/tmp/0/..../nodeid/
after starting the node again, it did not seem that the disk was picked detected.
2. in my image folder for freenas (/opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/winserver-freenas/, i have the 2 qcow2 files. Then when starting node, in the qemu options, use '-drive file=<myscond qcow)'
the node cannot be started if i also specify ',index=2' (stays greyed out). if i ommit ''-index=2' it start but it is not really working at boot
Is there a procedure to start images with a second disk?
Thank you

Hi
Thank you very much for your response. All in the docs indeed just hadn't seen that bit of info in the image example i was reading.
I feel stupid but thanks for taking the time to answer.
