    Is it a right way to add a disk to a VM?

    Thank you for the file. My pool is raidz1 with 3 500GB-size disks. So, I need to know the best volblocksize before creating a virtual drive, because otherwise I'd risk to waste space. Correct? Could you help me figure out the best disk size setup to get the most out of my 250GB dataset...

    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

    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
