Is it possible to install Proxmox VE in RAID1 (ZFS) and use the other part of the disk for RAID1 (ZFS) data.
I want to buy a mini PC and it usually has 2 NVMe slots.
I am considering buying 2 NVMe disks 1TB. Divide them into 250GB (LXC, KVM, IMG ...) and use the remaining 750GB for data e.g. nexcloud, truenas ...
If I reinstall Proxmox in the future, I don't want to damage the data.
I know that the proxmox installer does not offer the option to divide partitions on the disks.
The only option is to install Debian netinst and divide the disks during the installation and then install proxmox. That will probably be quite complicated.
Another option is to buy a mini PC with 3 NVMe slots. Install proxmox (RAID1) ZFS on 2 disks and use the other disk for data (however, data cannot be RAID1 anymore) and there will be no redundancy.
Edit: if BTRFS were simpler, that would be great too
