    ZFS Pool Handling

    I have a new HP-Server, with a "fake" Software-RAID-Controller. So I often read that the software-raid and Proxmox are not the best friends, so I decided to install Proxmox with ZFS-Storage-Pool. Everything alright so far, but I usually used to install Proxmox on a Hardware-Raid, so no idea...

    Hello, I'm deploying a new cluster with 3 machines, each one having 64GB RAM + 2x512GB NVMe SSD. The VMs that will run on the cluster will use about 70-80% of available RAM, so there will be little spare RAM left (4-8 GB). I would like to use ZFS, as it's supported by Proxmox, but I'm afraid...
