What's the current advice around Proxmox and running FreeNAS?
We have a server we'd like to use predominantly as a storage server - but running some extra VMs on the side would be useful.
I've read elsewhere that Proxmox/FreeNAS can be funny - in particular that the PCI passthrough (which is how I assume you'd pass through disks directly to the virtualised FreeNAS) wasn't good. Is this still the case in late 2018? Is there a noticeable performance hit? (10 x SAS spinning disks, 1GB network)
Is it recommended to virtualise FreeNAS, and if so, what are the best practices? If not, what are other options people have had success with?
(The wiki does mention that PCI passthrough is experimental - not sure if that's still true).
