Best practise sharing NFS to proxmox cluster?

[Dirky_uk]

Hi, I have a small cluster with 3 nodes, configured for HA.
Most of my data is on the same network as the cluster, on a Drobo connected with thunderbolt to a Mac, running Catalina. (Yeah, ewwww I know)

I was planning on moving my services off the Mac to begin with, over to the cluster, and I will share the data from the Mac with nfsd.

My question is which option is best.
1) Mount the NFS volumes to the host OS of each proxmox node and pass this through to the VM / LXC
2) Mount the NFS shares direct to the VM's / LXC?

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

For VMs, mount the NFS shares from the guest OS.
For LXCs, manually mount the NFS share in the Proxmox host using something like this [1] (option 3). Avoid mouting NFS inside the LXC as it may cause I/O deadlocks.
