VM (not CT) direct access ZFS host share

[gelcom]

Hi all. Sorry for theNOOB question but here I go.

I have a ProxMox server. A few VMs access their storage from a FreeNAS ZFS pool.

I will migrate this ZFS pool to ProxMox server itself.

each VM is served in a different and isolated network.

what I want to accomplish is serve this ZFS pool from the host to VMs without have to pass my router as local access is much higher.

I understand containers allows mount points but not VMs.

how to have my VM direct access my local zfs share on the host? If I use NFS server I need to pass through my router to get back to host and this adds overhead and slow speeds.

Any help is appreciated



kind regards

There is no other way than NFS or iSCSI.
If your host has an address in the vmbr of the VM then the traffic is handled internally, usually giving you much more than a physical NIC could provide.

The problem is that host and VM aren’t in the same network.

That sounds like a solvable problem, though.
