Hi all, I am in a bit of a bind and am looking to start over with most if not all my nodes.

One of my issues is moving data from a bind mount on an HDD to an SSD
Also I would love it if the bind mount (or alternative) did not have a defined storage limit (so like an NFS share)

Example: I have a CT running KASM workspace - I have given it a bindmount of 1.5TB for persistent profiles.
Despite the storage being for persistence, the data will be temporary (downloaded and then moved on for processing)

Bind mount is working but its a HDD which was a bad choice

I have for the interim added another bind mount of the same size as an SSD and using rsync to clone the data (fingers crossed I can change the persistent profile path and it will just work)

but in the long run what I want is just to map a path and use it as if it were like NFS

I have tried using NFS but for some reason it is not working (the shares actually work when I use them for rsync so the containers are not liking them or I am doing something wrong)

Could I use directories and mount them within containers in proxmox? or is there a better way to achieve this or similar?

hope this makes sense

thanks
