Install PVE on single drive with ZFS?

[alexc]

I do like ZFS and PVE approach to use native ZFS features. Now I need to set up small server with bing RAM (32 Gb) and with single big drive, but I can't install PVE 5.0 on it with ZFS. It say it needs two drives to set up ZFS.

Are there any way to install PVE on single drive with ZFS using PVE iso and install? I do understand I can set up Debian and then add PVE packages but I'd prefer PVE to be installed from .iso.

Thank you for your advice!

It is possible with the PVE5 install iso (I tried 5.0-5ab26bc-5.iso). Just use RAID0 if you choose ZFS:



Afterwards, it just installs and boots into the system:

I hope this helps.

Great, thank you, will do! I tried RAID1 and it said I need 2 drives, never tested RAID0 as an option.

Glad it worked
