Hello

im currently testing Proxmox, for our production server.
Currently we use ESXI but for skipping vcenter licens this looks great.

Im not completely new to Proxmox but been searching for ever to any proper guide to handle a setup where 2 VM share same folder and have multiwriter.
In ESXI i have a disk but it compomise the backup of the VM as this is not supportet (only backup on file lvl.)

I have been looking into ZFS and also got it running, but every VM gets its own disk, so this dosent seem like the right way. (maybe im not doing it right)

Can one of you point me in the right way of an solution? We only have 1 big node. and i want to keep as simple as i can.
 
PVE isn't officially supporting any cluster-aware filesystems. The official way would be to make use of SMB/NFS for shared files. You could also google for "VirtFS" or "9p" which should work but is still experimental and not officially covered by PVE.
