Hi There firstly I'm pretty new to all this so go easy please.
I have built a server and installed proxmox on a single 2.5 750g WD black hdd of which I currently have one VM installed (Amahi) 25gig VM. I have now plugged in 4 x 3tb WD green drives for my data store but I'm trying to work out the best way to go about adding it so that I can point what ever VM I load up to so that it sees these 4 drives as storage (and also the ability to add more drives in the future.
Basically this is just a home server that I'm going to use for storing of my files and loading up VMs to learn from stuff around with nuke and rebuild etc the data storage though I want to be able to use regardless of what VM I have running.
The reason I have only one box and not a nas running as well is the missues.
So is this possible am I able to configure proxmox this way or am I off the track and not comprehending properly? I want to keep the 2.5 750g drive separate from the storage and keep it for the vms and proxmox OS, I don't plan on running heaps of VM's at once just spining up the one I'm playing on and having the amahi one running most of the time as it serves stuff for my lan.
I've also been reading up on ZFS as I thought that might be worthwhile to look at is it possible to create a ZFS pool for data storage out of these four disks?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
