    Can PM VE be a NFS server?

    I have a PM VE host that has an external drive attached which I use for backup. It works great. I added a 2nd PM VE host, but it is not clustered as I can't get the PM VE versions to be compatible for corosync. I don't need them clustered though. However there is a 2nd NIC with an...

    Shared Storage for VMs Strategy Question

    Disclaimer: All this is done in a homelab (non-production) environment with a limited budget. TLDR: One central ssd zfs pool shared storage (distinct machine) added to proxmox (two other machines) used for VM app storage (not the VM OS itself). I also want PBS/deduplicated backups. How do I go...

    2 PVE clusters sharing one NFS NAS?

    I have two clusters, each mounting the same TrueNAS SCALE over the same NFS share. Considering that the two clusters can each have the same VMID, won't this cause naming conflicts on the NAS? Should I be using two different shares pointing to two different datasets?
