[PVE-User] Two proxmox clusters sharing same storage

[Eneko Lacunza]

Hi Chris,

Likely explanation is that when you remove a VM, it looks for all disks 
(used and unused) on all storages for removal. It is confused because 
you use the very same export point for both clusters.

I suggest you use different export points for different clusters, even 
if on the same FS. If you what to share templates, just hardlink or 
bind-mount the directory. This will allow you to share the space without 
confusing Proxmox.

Cheers
Eneko
