Hi for everyone,
Our context: We wish to install a database with cluster features in two or more containers. To do this kind of installation we need as mandatory requeriment, have availables disks to create a disk group which will be use as a global storage for both containers.

I tried with NFS and mount point but this way use a specific mount point to be available into the container, we can't use this way because appear " Error disk already in use or is busy". For this reason we need only the disk or disk space whithout mounting.

Is there any way to do this with PCT, I founded the way with lxc, but with proxmox how I can to do this?

In advance I greatly appreciate your time and help.
God bless you!

If you mean with global storage, a shared filesystem. Then it needs a GFS or similar, to get global locking awareness.

You can also specify a directory as mount point. But this still holds the above condition.
