JBOD Storage Pool

[JAS38]

Is it possible to create a JBOD storage pool?

As a home user, I have 2 extra drives I can use for storage (I have a different drive for Proxmox). I want to combine the 3 drives into a single logical drive, and use it as volume for virtual machines. I then want to thin provision the pooled storage to VMs.

How might I do this?

Thank you.

In addition a LVM with a LVM-Thin pool you could also use ZFS and create a stripe of those 3 disks. But I wouldn't recommend that. If a single drive fails all data is lost so you are massivly lowering the reliablity of your server.

Can adding/extending the LVM with additional drives be done via Proxmox web UI? Or command line only?

CLI only.
