I'm not an expert and I often use AI, but sometimes I get lost in AI too.
My situation is as follows.
I have 3 NVMe disks 1x 1TB and 2x 512GB.
I install proxmox (ext4) on the 1TB disk. Proxmox automatically divides the disk into root 100GB (swap 8GB) and lvm 850GB.
What is my goal?
I want only proxmox root to be on the 1TB disk.
I want to put the other 2 disks on a ZFS mirror and have everything else there, VM, CT, Backup, data.
Why?
If I reinstall proxmox (e.g. the 1TB disk fails), I install a new proxmox and everything else will be on a ZFS mirror. Otherwise, I import ZFS during the installation and edit /etc/pve/storage.cfg.
Is this solution correct?
AI prepared this procedure for me, but it doesn't work quite right. When I want to install CT or VM, I only have the choice of local storage.
I proceeded like this
When I want to install via GUI VM or CT, the GUI does not offer xpool, but only local-lvm.
