  3. [SOLVED] Help me fix my rpool - need to remove a partition form the pool and need to make another one bootable

    Hi all, While working through this problem here, I realized that I needed to fix the layout of the partition in my rpool before proceeding. /dev/sdb3 and /dev/sda3 are now mirrored partitions (correct) but sda2 should be a EFI boot partition. I'm trying to remove sda2 from the rpool so I have...

  8. What now? - Please avoid using zpool upgrade on the "rpool" (root pool) itself, when upgrading to ZFS 2.0

    In the Proxmox VE 6.4 release notes known issues section it says: Please avoid using zpool upgrade on the "rpool" (root pool) itself, when upgrading to ZFS 2.0 on a system booted by GRUB in legacy mode, as that will break pool import by GRUB. ZFS 2.0.4 is also available in 6.3-6 which I'm...

  13. Boot & VM data on same zpool or seperate?

    Hello, I'm wondering what the proxmox teams recommendations are for ZFS. I see proxmox now support UEFI boot and supposedly rpool supports all ZFS feature flags in this configuration. During installation of Proxmox the "rpool" is generated. The ROOT is there for booting. And rpool/data is...
  14. [SOLVED] Native encryption of zfs root possible?

    Hi, for various reasons I prefer my data to be encrypted on disks. Until now I used a zfs on luks setup. Which worked pretty good, but had its quirks and some other drawbacks. So I was really happy to see zfs native encryption and its support with Proxmox 6 (Thanks for that!). To have my VMs...

    Need some advice regarding a simple and probably silly question. All of my systems have a small SSD as the system disk and a secondary single larger SSD for VM's.
