I have 3 HPE Proliant DL160 Gen 10 shipped with a storage controller HPE SmartArray E208-i SR. This controller allows to mix raid and LBA mode. Each servers come with 2x300 GB SAS and 4x2TB SAS. I would like to instal proxmox on them but wonder what's the best storage configuration for it. I intent to run CEPH over the 2TB SAS disk in LBA mode. Should I install proxmox on a raid using the 2x300TB disks or still use them in LBA mode with ZFS? What people do generally on such machines?
