[SOLVED] Sharing storage with 2 VMs

[niemand_besonderes]

Hello,
I have an ext4 drive connected to my system as bulk storage and already shared it with one VM using this command:

/sbin/qm set 105 -virtio2 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-Viper_VP4300L_2TB_VP4300LEDBB233309048

Do I have to change this command in order to share my SSD to another VM? Is it even possible?
Thank you
Matthias

Most filesystems (ext4 included) don't expect the disk to be share between machines (and are not designed for this). This will result in data loss and/or corruption.
If you want to share files between virtual machines, use the same approach as sharing files between physical machines: use a network share like NFS and SMB.

you can detach the disk from the vm and attach to another one, but you can't use that at the same time with 2 vms
