[SOLVED] Can't see vm hard drives on zfs storage

[obitori]

In response to some good advice to this post, I switched my ZFS pools to zfspool from dir for the storage I plan on using for my vmz and containers.

I don't believe zfspool handles iso and vztmpl, so I switched those back to dir. After I switched back, they showed up. This left me with the below /etc/pve/storage.cfg.

It has separate storage for two servers, pvelab and pvelab2. I can see the isos in the storage for isos and container templates, but I cannot see the disk images in, for example, /mnt/vmz1/images/101 -->

As you may have figured out, I'm new to Proxmox. I'm trying to read the documentation/google stuff, but not completely understanding what I'm working with. That being said, I really like proxmox and plan on using it as my go-to hypervisor for everything.

Hi,
if you are using a ZFS type storage in Proxmox VE, VM images will not be created as files, but as zvols. If you want to convert the images to zvols, you can make the appropriate content types for the directory storage visible again and then use Disk Action > Move Storage > [your ZFS storage].
