Proxmox HA Setup on shared Storage

[sndhc]

Hello,

we want to use Proxmox with our existing fc san.
So i installed multipathd and setup a lun on the san and then created a lvm volumegroup backed by that lun.
Would this be the correct way to set this up?
And another question about Containers, is there some way to use something else than ext4 for the filesystems created for containers.
I know i could manualy create a filesystem on the host and use bind mounts but i asume this kind of setup would not work correctly with HA right?

with kind regards

Michael

If you also check the 'shared' option, yes.

And another question about Containers, is there some way to use something else than ext4 for the filesystems created for containers.

There is at least no way to do this with PVE over the GUI, but maybe it could work. I've never tried. Why do you want to use something different than ext4?

Yes, i checked shared when creating the LVM Storage in Proxmox Webui.

The software we want to run in the containers recommends ext2 for performance reasons.
