    ZFS Pool created. What is the next step

    I already created a zfs pool via GUI. Now, I'd like to set/assign the size according to what I wrote earlier in my first post I'd like to test passthrough as well, but it is not what I meant. Yes, a local directory was crated when I first install Proxmox OS, but it is rather small since I...

    How to turn to ZFS

    Sorry, I'm still learning this zfs staff. 1) Does every HDD have to be the same size (i.g. 500GB each)? 2) How do I add each HDD to the pool? 3) Do I need to format the HDDs installed in my proxmox machine which already store data? Thanks

    How to turn to ZFS

    Hi, I have been doing a few changes to my proxmox setup and the VMs installed in it. I still have one disk in which runs only Proxmox OS. I then installed a new ssd in which runs all my VMs. Other two HDDs are used to both backup VMs (zst files) and store ISO Images. I'd like now to add a new...

    How to resize a VM's disk

    what is the file .qcow2 for?

    But could re-allocating the image where it should belong mess up the boot of the VM somehow? I mean, will VM -102 (pfsense) find the new position of the image at the startup automatically? Thanks

    what is the file .qcow2 for?

    So, if I got it right, the qcow2 disk image file is for pfsense (vm-102) what the RAW disk images are for OMV and Windows 10 (VMS 100 and 101), isn't it? Anyway, I still don't understand how I chose the "wrong" file format and the wrong storage when I created the pfsense VM! Thanks

    what is the file .qcow2 for?

    Ok, But I don't understand why it isn't placed on the same HD where other disks are, and why it is in a different format: Honestly, I don't remember what I did at the time :-) Thanks

    Job failed with err -5 - Input/output error

    update: I plugged it on my proxmox machine motherboard, then ran the backup of the same VM and got the same error message, but I then backuped two other VMS and everything went fine. There must be something wrong with the VM itself probably.

    Sharing an HD over my LAN

    I was talking about accessing it via filezilla only as you suggested me above, but I would like to passthrough the new HD first as it is explained here in this tutorial (from minute 03:10): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLBNm0fNIog Thanks

    Sharing an HD over my LAN

    That's right! I can access the data via Filezilla. I didn't imagine that it was really that simple. Thanks. PS: Would it be still possible to get access to a HD I passthrough to PBS (Proxmox backup server)?
