I’m playing around with shared disks in ovirt to allow a couple of vm’s to access the same data. I created a new disk that is shareable and attached it to one of my CentOS vms but I don’t understand how to actually make use of the shared disk. It does not show up as a mounted disk on the Centos VM. How do I actually use this shared disk from within my VM, or am I mis-understanding its purpose? Thanks!

If it shows in fdisk -l, you should be able to mount it (after formatting of course). Add it to fstab if you want it to happen automatically

You attach such disks to multiple VMs at the same time, and use a clustered FS to mitigate access and locking.
Thanks!
