Proxmox 7.4, ZFS storage doesn't show up as option for container

[efinley]

I have a cluster of 8 nodes. ZFS storage shows up just fine as an option when creating VMs, but not when creating a container. The only storage that shows up as an option for containers is "local". I have this same config saved from an older (working) version of proxmox (6.4) and the only difference is that the fast_zfs and encrypted_zfs entries don't have a mountpoint. But the mountpoints were added by the gui, so I've left them. Any pointers would be appreciated. Any additional info added upon request.

/etc/pve/storage.cfg:
dir: local
path /var/lib/vz
content vztmpl,iso,backup

zfspool: local-zfs
pool rpool/data
content images,rootdir
sparse 1

zfspool: fast_zfs
pool tank/data
content rootdir,images
mountpoint /tank/data
nodes cpbx-lindon1n04,cpbx-dbgp1n2,cpbx-dbgp1n3,cpbx-lindon1n05,cpbx-dbgp1n1,cpbx-dbgp1n5,cpbx-dbgp1n4,cpbx-lindon1n01,cpbx-lindon1n02,cpbx-lindon1n03
sparse 1

zfspool: encrypted_zfs
pool tank/encrypted_data
content rootdir,images
mountpoint /tank/encrypted_data
sparse 1

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,
the storage configuration seems fine. Are you sure this is for the selection of the container disk and not the selection of the container template? What does pvesh get /nodes/<your node name>/storage --format=1 --content=rootdir return?

PS: Please note that Proxmox VE 7 is end-of-life since the end of July: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/FAQ

ok, I feel like an idiot now. It was for the selection of the template. no issues. Thanks for the wake-up call.
