hello
I like the way /etc/pve is available on multiple systems.

we have a local directory containing scripts and config files. I use rsync to get to all systems.

Instead of doing that I'd like to use something like the fuse /etc/pve mount in all systems.

Could someone point me in the direction of how that gets done?

I've read http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_Cluster_file_system_(pmxcfs) and links from that page... But still do not get the basics or if this is something that should be tried withing KVM's .

The distributed file system is a complex piece of software, so what do you want to know exactly?

If your scripts are small (less the a few MBs) you can simple store them inside /etc/pve/somewhere/

Yes the scripts are small. So putting some to /etc/pve/somewhere/ is good for pve hosts...

Since the set up is complex, I won't use it withing vm's ..

For something like /etc/pve/ within KVM's I might use dropbox for now. But in the long run prefer to use something that does not require external service or non free software.

thanks for your answer.
