Okay, this is my current (final??) setup: Proxmox 7 as hypervisor; a SATA SSD and a NVMe SSD on a PCI card for local/local-lvm VM storage. TrueNAS core 12-U6 in a VM; a HDD data (media) pool and a SSD file pool from individual disk passthru. Many of the datasets in the pools are shared out via...

Hi Duniun, again, thank you for your suggestion. I'm going to experiment with the settings and I'll report what my final setup looks like. Thanks.

Understood. I was setting things up in my test Supermicro with only 4 HDDs to play with different options. On my "production" (using the term loosely) DL380p, I have 5 SSDs which I will setup as a ZFS pool and one of its use is for VM and LXC storage. The rest of the HDDs will be in another...

Thank you Dunuin. I guess I'll passthru the HDDs over to TrueNAS VM, let TrueNAS manages the HDDs under ZFS. If I can get the P420i to PCI passthru, great. Otherwise P420i in HBA/IT mode. Now, that means Proxmox will have to use TrueNAS shares for its VM and LXC boot and data disks. Is that...

Again, thank you all for your comments/suggestions. I'll try to passthru my P420i and see if that is possible. During POST, it said it is an "embedded" controller, whatever that means. :-) I install PVE on a separate PCI card with a M.2 SATA drive (SATA connected to the MB.) It is totally...

Thank you all for your reply and suggestion. Some follow-up questions/comments after digestion: I have an HP DL380Gen8 with 25 drive bays. Not sure how easy it is to find a LSI PCIe HBA to take in all 25 bays. It is currently running a P420i and I put it in HBA mode so a natively loaded OS...

I have sufficient disks to create an HDD ZFS pool and a SSD ZFS pool, as well as a SSD/NVMe for boot drive. I'd like to install Proxmox as the hypervisor, and run some form of NAS software (TRueNAS or something) and Plex. Looking for advise on how that should be setup, from a storage...
