Need help with storage

[VirtualA]

Hello,

I'm stuck and need some help . I have an LVM across 4 spinning disks I created at some point in the past (without Proxmox). I have since moved the drives to my Proxmox machine and can see them in the web interface. I would like to share my LVM across multiple VMs to use and I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

I am able to allocate block data from the LVM to the virtual machines, but I instead want my LVM to serve data to any VM. Should I be creating an NFS share, if so - how do I tell the NFS machine to access my entire LVM and not a block.

As you can see I am a bit confused and need some guidance.

Thanks!

I do the same thing now but with zfs.
I have a proxmox setup.
I have dedicated zfs pool for system
Also an additional zfs pool for system storage. And several zfs pools for all my data.

Here where it gets complicated.
I mostly run lxc containers. So I just bind mount pool or a folder from the pool into container.
But for VM you might need to setup nfs mounts.

I ended up creating an NFS share on the root proxmox host and was able to mount the share to the virtual machines.
