Hi all,
I have a SAN which exposes a number of LUNs. Some of those are mapped by the proxmox cluster. I noticed that every VM hard disk is actually a logical volume in the volume group that represents that LUN.
Is there any reason why I shouldn't manually create a volume group in that LUN on the proxmox host?
The reason, FYI is that I don't have any local storage and need somewhere to temporarily archive all the VM backups whilst they are being rsynced offsite.
I keep thinking "well, der, sure - why not", but I just want to check that Proxmox doesn't keep a local cache of what is on that VM.
Better safe than sorry - feel free to use the words "well of course - dummy"
