ZFS is a file system, similar to EXT4, so technically, you can use it. However, for ProxmoxVE, I believe you might not find this option in the GUI. You might have to configure it manually. If it's your main root partition, I suggest installing the Debian OS first with EXT4, then ProxmoxVE on it. Afterward, create the ZFS pool manually and use it later in ProxmoxVE storage.

thank you very much for the suggestion.
I think that i will try that in my virtual lab before try that in physical lab.
thanks again
