 ### How do I pass-through a disk?
 
-   It is possible to pass-through a disk device directly, which can be useful when your host is a virtual machine, as it removes an extra layer and allows for easier management. For use with physical disks this method provides little advantage and is not recommended.
+   It is possible to pass-through disk devices or partitions directly by adding them to your compose file in this way:
-   
-   You can add the virtual device to your compose file like this:
 
   ```yaml
   devices:
-    - /dev/disk/by-uuid/12345-12345-12345-12345-12345:/disk2
+    - /dev/sdb:/disk1
+    - /dev/sdc1:/disk2
   ```
 
-  The device needs to be totally empty (without any partition table) otherwise DSM does not always format it into a volume.
+  Make sure it is totally empty (without any filesystem), otherwise DSM may not format it as a volume.
-  
-  Make sure to bind the disk via its UUID (obtainable via `lsblk -o name,uuid`) instead of its name (`/dev/sdc`), to prevent ever binding the wrong disk when the drive letters happen to change. 
- 
-> [!CAUTION]
-> Do NOT use this feature with the goal of sharing files from the host, they might all get lost without warning when DSM creates the volume.

   With this method, it is even possible to switch back and forth between versions while keeping your file data intact.
 
-  If you don't have internet access, it's also possible to skip the download by setting `URL` to:
+  Alternatively, you can also skip the download and use a local file instead, by binding it in your compose file in this way:
   
   ```yaml
-  environment:
+  volumes:
-    URL: "DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat"
+    - ./DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat:/boot.pat
   ```
 
-  after placing a copy of [DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat](https://global.synologydownload.com/download/DSM/release/7.0.1/42218/DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat) in the root of your `/storage` folder.
+  Replace the example path `./DSM_VirtualDSM_42218.pat` with the filename of your desired `.pat` file. The value of `URL` will be ignored in this case.
