I've used the help of guide below to make a shared storage for 3 servers,
http://www.chunghwan.com/en/systems/live-migration-of-xen-domains/

I've followed the guide but I've used ext3 instead of reiserfs ( because mkfs.resierfs was not available on Proxmox
But the issue is when I create a VPS on one of those nodes on shared storage it's files are not visible in the other servers, after rebooting other servers they can see the files,
Anyone familiar with this situation?
 
ext3 or reiserfs are no cluster fs, so you can´t mount it on all hosts - this howto is not for Proxmox VE.

So what kind of file system is suitable for using shared AoE on Proxmox servers?
 
why don´t you use LVM instead of a filesystem?
 
I prefer not to use lvm but if it's the only way, would you please let me know how to do so?
In the guide I've mentioned it create lvm on top of e0.1, isn't it what you suggest?
 
use FC or iSCSI SAN (with LVM) for KVM guests or NFS. for containers, use NFS. just to mention, container can be live-migrated without shared storage.

but why do you mention AoE in the subject?
 
I'm interested in AoE, because it's cheap and I can make it working with my current hardwares,
There isn't any way using this kind of shared storages with Proxmox?
I've mentioned AoE because I'm using `vbladed 0 1 eth1 /dev/sdb1` which is a server software for AoE protocol.
 
you need to understand our storage architecture and the basics of file systems. then you need to define your needs in detail. and yes, there are many ways.
