    add remote directory of cluster as local storage?

    I also saw some google posts in general about using sshfs too with a mount point. You think there is any benefit to sshfs, would it work? Do you know of any good docs you could point me to setup the NFS server, etc? Thanks for the help Tom. Much appreciated.

    dbrd 2 server cluster master/slave failes?

    I think I understand this. That's real good advice. Do you just set up a cron job on the pve instance? How is this best implemented? I read this in the guide too. But it’s hard for me to get my head around it. Is this right in my understanding? If I had 2 vms. vm1 on server 1 and vm2 on...
