best option for "shared storage" from local disks?

[dirtbag2k]

Hey folks, I have 2 servers with nvme storage on each. I'm looking for a way to make a large partition from one of the servers
/dev/sda4 for example, and making it a "shared storage between the 2 clustered proxmox nodes.. Is this even possible?
is it possible to do zfs over iscsi with this configuration? Im not terribly worried about redundancy of the storage in this case.
I want to be able to use the compute and ram on each server for running VMs or else I would just turn one of them into a dedicated freenas server.

iSCSI cannot be shared, so that's absolutely not the way to go.
You could
- set up storage replication between two local storages (minimum replication time is one minute, so upon migrating in case of a failure you lose one minute max.)
- configure drbd to mirror the drives
- set up a GlusterFS
- buy a third node and go for Ceph

There might be more options, but that is what I see so far.

thanks for the info. I got lazy and just set it up as an NFS export and that seems to work fine.

You're right, that is also a very obvious way
