RAID1(mdadm) NFS

[ewlesian]

I started by SSH into Proxmox server and verify two hard drives show up.
Disk /dev/sda: 4001GB
Disk /dev/sdb: 4001GB

Now I prepare the drives:
parted /dev/sda
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 1M 4001GB
repeat for /dev/sdb

Enable raid:
sudo mdadm --verbose --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0

Setup NFS Server:
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
vim /etc/exports
/mnt/md0 192.168.1.20/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash)
service nfs-common start -> Error message (nfs-common.service is masked.)
rm /lib/systemd/system/nfs-common.service
systemctl daemon-reload
service nfs-common start
service nfs-kernel-server start
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/md0

Verify:
df -h
/dev/md0 3.6T 89M 3.4T 1% /mnt/md0

Now how do I share this raid array with a VM, so that I can store files on it?

There is no special share-to-VM function. Your VM acts like any other computer which means you will have to connect to your NFS from within your VM.
