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.

That's true, it's also a valid choice for sharing data between virtual machines.

I think mounting other virtual machines' file systems from /dev/virt-disks/remote/ could also be a good option, right?

That could work too, but using a network file system would be more efficient.

But can't we also write data to the file system since all virtual machines on the same host system use the same file system?

But wouldn't it be easier to just attach the same virtual hard disk to all virtual machines and activate EXT4 sharing extensions on it?

Hah, good catch! I guess the exam writers are trying to trip us up with little details like that.

Hold up, did anyone else notice the typo in option C? 'virt-disks/remote/' is not a valid path. That's an instant disqualification in my book.

I'm not so sure about that. Option E sounds like it could be a good solution, especially if you need fast access to the shared data.
