Hi

I wanted to pass some hard drives through to a VM to create a single vdev in a ZFS pool. Will the VM/zfs pool receive the ECC benefit from the hardware if it runs in a VM?

If i view the memory in the vm (using dmidecode) it is returned as a qeme memory type so wasn't sure whether I would have to make the zfs pool in proxmox and pass this through to the vm?

Thanks
 
Generall if the error is recoverable the HW will correct it.
If the block is unreadable the VM will get an error.
