This is creating me troubles because when I create new hard drives in proxmox for vm-s it creates new disks in system like /dev/sdb etc with names zd01,zd16 etc...Can someone help me on this I am migrating to new infrastructure...it looks very poor with answers for ZFS in this forum.

I have created the pool for storage but now how to mount it in Proxmox to save VMs there and iso files, backups etc. I know that part to go in GUI and add it but should it have a path like default storage /var/lib/vz ?

Is any solution to this problem ? I am trying to install proxmox 4 and choosing ZFS mirror for two drives but when finishes install it starts again other version or other previous OS installed and not proxmox as first boot or as primary OS.

I am trying to install proxmox v4 as ZFS File Format system, so I guess when I choose which drives to use it should format them so basically its not formating them just installing a new install in existing proxmox.

Thank you for making clear everything... Is there any dissadvantage if Proxmox root file system is in ext4 format raid 1 ? Because I cannot access server remotely with proxmox v4 iso so the only option that I can choose for root file system is ext3 ext4 and xfs.

Can I use same SSD for read and write ? I dont want to use ssd-s in mirrored mode both of them because I can't use them for anything other only as cache. So my plan is to use same SSD for read and write cache because its 300GB SSD with read and write up to 550MB/s . What do you think about that ?

I wanted to use only one of the disks ssd as cache, because the other SSD I need for other purposes...or its a must to have log/zil ? In case of failure can the system repair and work again without mirrored zil ?

I will migrate to a new server with 2x 2TB Hard drives and 2 x 300GB SSD Drives and with 64 GB RAM ECC so I want to use 2x2TB Drives as Raid 1 and one of the SSD drives as cache for the raid 1 config and other one as a single disk. 1.Is it better to use ZFS File System for Raid 1 2x2TB Drives...

Is it possible to upgrade from PVE 3.4 to 4.0 and is any risk to do that and do you prefer to upgrade in 4.0 even if we are not using HA and IPV6. We are using Proxmox since year 2013 and we are very happy with it...so stable compared to other virtualization systems.
