Hello there!
First of all i'm new to proxmox, so sorry if i asking some stupid things.
I have a server with 1 ssd (proxmox installation), 2 hdd 500Gb (configured as mirror zfs pool in proxmox) and some other physical discs which are connected to HBA controller and passed through to one of VMs.

For now i use local and local-lvm only to store some ISO and CT Templates.
Zfs pool called "storage" and used to store VM Disks and CT Volumes.
And i create a directory called "storage-backups" on top of zfs pool (/storage/backups).
For now i want to completely wipe ssd with proxmox (/dev/sde), reformat or even replace it with a smaller one (i don't need 240Gb only to store proxmox and few ISO images and CT Templates) and do fresh proxmox installation due to all this mess which i made while tinkering with proxmox.
If i do so will i be able to mount "storage" zfs pool to new proxmox installation and restore all VMs and CTs?
If yes, how then? Just
