Hello everyone!
I have a truenas core instance running inside a vm on a proxmox host.
The host has a total of three NICs, one is dedicated for management/corosync, one is for various other VMs, and the last one is dedicated to truenas. The NIC is not passed through, but I use a bridge if that makes a difference.
Anyway, I want to use truenas to store various things for my cluster, so I created an NFS share for ISO images and CT templates, and added it to proxmox as a shared NFS storage, using the truenas instance IP.
My problem is that traffic for that storage goes through the network, while I would like it to be at memory speed - the difference is not great in my particular case but I would like to avoid saturating the network, especially if I want to add another storage for VM disks and so on.
I think that I should add another network interface to the truenas instance - I believe truenas can cope with that, but on proxmox side I need that to be completely virtual, i.e. just a "local bridge" interface if you will.
Can anyone help me understand how to achieve that?
Thanks!
