Hey all,

Want to make sure Im thinking about this right.

I want to create a RAIDZ1 store that contains media files that I can then mount in a PLEX CT

I want to use this storage pool for loose files and folders, that can be directly accessed by any CT or VM that I want. as oppsed to creating virtual disks inside the pool.

Does that make sense?

Thanks
 
For LXCs you can use bind-mount. But you might need to edit the config files because of user remapping. See here for an example: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Unprivileged_LXC_containers

With VMs that won't easily work as bind-mounts are only available to LXCs because of the missing isolation/shared kernel. To make the same folder accessible by VMs you usually share the flder using SMB/NFS. You could for example bind-mount the folder into a LXC and that LXC then could act as a SMB/NFS server and share that folder to your VMs.
 
Thank you for that. I have come across bind-mounts trying to expose storage to PBS (though still having permissions issues with that, but anyway)

So I think Ill be able to do that ok, waiting for an extra HDD so still a couple days away yet.

I may be back with more questions lol, but so far that makes sense :)

Thanks again
 
Ok, its taken a few days, but I'm finally getting to set this up.
One thing I cant find is where my ZFS storage is currently mounted? I can see its enabled ect ect.
But I have no idea where is is mounted?
