title: Docker Data Volume Container - Can I share across swarm
body: <p>I know how to create and mount a data volume container to multiple other containers using --volumes-from, but I do have a few questions regarding it's usage and limitations:</p>
  
  <p>Situation: I am looking to use a data volume container to store user uploaded images in for my web application. This data volume container will be used/mounted by many other containers running the web frontend.</p>
  
  <p>Questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Can data volume containers be used/mounted in containers residing on other hosts within a docker swarm?</p></li>
  <li><p>How is the performance? is it recommended to structure things this way?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is there a better way to handle sharing of persistent resources across containers and hosts such as NFS?</p></li>
  </ol>
