Trying to share a local harddrive between VMs

[lowerym]

I have a local SATA drive that i use for transferring files between 2 VMs i have. I am not able to setup a network share since 1 is almost always on a VPN and the network doesnt play well.

What i have done is i have the Drive on the Proxmox host. and i was able to grab it by-ID

I am attaching it to the VM within that host (not HA)
qm set 102 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x50014ee0ae084fe0

This works great i see the disk inside, I am able to mount with ntfs-3g format, and im able to view the existing files.

the issue i have then is that is i create a file inside the VM or even on the host level. the other can not see the change.

This is a wrong way to share a physical disk - you will end up with data corruption.

Find a way to create a dedicated virtual network between VMs, use FTP - many ways to transfer files between VMs.
