disk management

Hello all

Following a massive debacle on my proxmox server (caused by my stupidity) i have decided to bite the bullet and re-install everything taking into consideration everything i learned so far.

This is my situation
HW: dell r720 ver 2
1 X 256 ssd
4 x 4TB hd +
4 x 2TB HD

1 I plan to add ssd to a 2 x500 gb in a mirror scenario.

My objective would be to add Truenas and Home assistant os as VMs Pi hole wiregurard and a windows or ubuntu desktop as an lxcs

Since i see many videos where they add the storage to the server and create a zfs pool in proxmox and they all say that this would be allowed the disks to be used by all virtualised solutions;

I would kindly ask for some guidance in this matter

Do i create this zfs pool in proxmox and then passthrough the pool to truenas and other solutions or do i just configure as it is now where a passthrough all the disks to truenas and create the pool there?

Thank for your guidance and for responding to such a basic question

I am sure this has been discussed a trillion times...?

The only recommended way to create a stable and reliable TrueNAS VM is to PCI-pass-through a complete controller. (Not a pool and also not one or more disks, as this access method still goes through a virtualization layer without direct access to the hardware.)

Everything else may work at a first glance - until it is not...

Thank you so much @udo

This is what i did the last time. I asked this question because i saw many youtube videos and post and comments suggesting to do this in pve and thought that something change and that i started to question myself

Thank you for confirming what i originally did
