+### Proxmox VE Volume Notes
+
+The disk setup adds the drive as a directory on the host system. The setup script modifies the lxc conf file (`/etc/pve/lxc/10443.conf`) to mount the directory into the container. It also creates a hidden `.nvr` file to the storage folder to earmark it for NVR usage. This method allows for fast snapshots, replications, and backups. 
+
+Environment variables can be set to change the setup script behavior:
+
 ::: warning
-Ensure the appropriate storage device is selected. By default Proxmox will select the OS drive, which is not correct.
+Read more about [Multiple Storage Devices](#multiple-storage-devices) before running these advanced commands.
