any easy/simple way to make sharefolder on top of ZFS?
I need to share drivers and programs, not .iso's between VMs

HomeLab Setup I have now: Proxmox 4.6, ZFS on both 250 GB SSD w Proxmox and 2TB HDD to store VMs
I use mostly Win & OSX VMs, use a bit Linux as well,

I do not mind install a VM w FreeNAS, Nextcloud or similar, but most simple solution appreciated. I do not care much on speed and promary need local access from VMs

there is tonns of books and solutions for quiet sophisticated combinations, but nothing on just driver/app share folder not to download em each time for new VM!!!
please help,
cheers
 
Hi turdor!

If you use it for linux I would use NFS. Here you have good tutorial
Code:

You should use a local subnet for more security.

If you want to use it on all machines you should use samba.
