Hi to all!

Problem: CasaOS (CT) cannot see the ZFS drive

Question: How to make a ZFS Pool available to CasaOS CT

Description:
I have a VM running CasaOS from a main SSD, and I have just created a ZFS Pool that I want CasaOS to have access to.

ZFS Pool name: HomeDrive
Size: 1 tb

I have tried CT(CasaOS) -> Resources -> Add Mount Point (using ID 1 / Storage = ZFS Pool / Size 920 giB / Path = /HomeDrive)

But CasaOS still does not show the drive (after reboots).

How can I make my ZFS pool visible to CasaOS?

Hi.

You cannot access ZFS features from within the LXC CT. You can consider ZFS a host-only feature. The PVE host does all the ZFS operations, and you don't have to care about it. In CasaOS you can simply access the FS as a regular directory, no having to operate with ZFS specifically.

You may consider running CasaOS inside a VM. Especially if you want to run Docker inside CasaOS. Docker inside LXC is not officially supported.
