Hi everyone,

I'm not one to ask for help as I usually like to search and find solutions myself, but this one has me stumped.

Right now, I have a server with Proxmox installed and a Synology NAS, and I wanted to have a shared storage space for my LXC containers to access, download files, move them, etc. The main thing is that it's secure on my NAS and that I can also view those files from my DSM. Initially, I connected my NAS to Proxmox via NFS. But then I realized that when assigning space to the LXC, it creates a virtual .raw disk, and that wasn't what I expected because I can't see the files from the DSM, nor is it a shared space for the other LXC.

The only solution I found was to create an NFS space and then connect it to the LXC... but the truth is that it's a pretty long job. And I wonder if there's another way to do it?

My main language is not English, sorry for any mistakes.

Thanks.

The NFS was right, yet you need to
  • add NFS to each LX(C) container seperately, or
  • bind mount the NFS to your container and you need to fix the permissions

Perfect... thank you.
If there is no other alternative then I will add each container.
