I am looking to install Proxmox Backup server on a server with 120TB (12 x 10TB) of raw capacity.

I was planning on using the hardware RAID controller to setup RAiD6 with 1 hot spare for a total of 90TB usable space before formatting.

What are the best practices for PBS 1.0 to support such a large volume? Should I be creating a bunch of smaller logical drives in the Raid controller andnusinf

What are the best practices for PBS 1.0 to support such a large volume? Should I be creating a bunch of smaller logical drives in the Raid controller and using something like LVM to span multiple logical drives? It seems nuts to have a single 90TB volume so I am looking for better options. Thanks.
