[All 305-300 Questions]

How can data be shared between several virtual machines running on the same Linux-based host system?

ABy writing data to the file system since all virtual machines on the same host system use the same file system.

BBy mounting other virtual machines' file systems from /dev/virt-disks/remote/.

CBy setting up a ramdisk in one virtual machine and mounting it using its UUID in the other VMs.

DBy using a network file system or file transfer protocol.

EBy attaching the same virtual hard disk to all virtual machines and activating EXT4 sharing extensions on it.

Wait, can we actually write data to the file system that all VMs share? Wouldn't that be a security risk?

Option C with the ramdisk idea is kind of clever, but I'm not sure how practical it would be in a real-world scenario.

Haha, mounting other VMs' file systems from /dev/virt-disks/remote? That sounds like a recipe for disaster!

I agree with Mi, sharing data through a network file system makes the most sense.

I think Option E is also a valid answer. Attaching the same virtual hard disk to all VMs and using EXT4 sRossanang extensions could work as well.
