my boot drive is a mirrored btrfs filesystem. Additionally, I manually created created a raidz2 ZFS pool from the command line, which I can see in the Proxmox web GUI interface. How can I tell Proxmox that I can use this ZFS pool for VMor LXC storage?

I can choose to create new LXC containers in the btrfs-local, but I am not given the choice to use the ZFS pool.

You need to add a new storage entry Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS

Thank you for your reply. my ZFS pool is already listed there. I have attached a picture showing the ZFS pool listed there, but i'm still not able to store my disk images or containers there. Is there supposed to be something listed in Path/Target?

No, it is normally empty.

How do you want to create a container on that storage? What have you tried and what did not work?
Normally you have to just set the disk in the 3rd tab while creating a container.

whoops! my mistake. I was looking at the 2nd tab, which was the template storage location. Once I advanced to third tab, I was able to select the ZFS pool for storage. I appreciate your assistance.
