Connect Freenas Volume ZFS to Proxmox

[francisco.]

Dear forum,

I have connected a ZVOL from a Freenas via ISCSI to Proxmox.



And:

root@pve1:/var/log# fdisk -l /dev/sde


Disk /dev/sde: 536.9 GB, 536870912000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 65270 cylinders, total 1048576000 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 16384 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 16384 bytes / 1048576 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/sde doesn't contain a valid partition table

But I cannot use this because It has not format.

Is this the correct form for connecting to a volume sharing via ISCSI from Freenas or I have to set up using ZFS GUI?

Best regards.
Francisco

You have to now configure the iscsi device as if it were a physical hard drive....

Create a partition, etc.

I have achieved format ISCSI disk using LVM GUI but If I want use ZFS, have I create a zpool in Proxmox first?

If I use LVM , is this the way to get the best performance?

LVM Proxmox <-- ISCSI Freenas <-- Zpool (Freenas)

Don't use zfs on an iscsi volume.

Just use LVM
