    Help expanding root ZFS rpool partition (self.Proxmox)

    Yup I ran the command then rebooted but but the pool is still showing the old capacity. The oracle docs say you can use the command before or after the other steps but maybe Proxmox gets confused if you run it after like I did. Thanks for the help though.

    How should I configure my drives

    I recently got a great deal on a used Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF that I plan to run PVE 6.3 on. The system has a single M.2 NVME slot and only uses a single SATA power cable coming from the motherboard that splits out to a standard sized SATA power and a slimline SATA power that connects to the...
