Does the latest Proxmox series support CEPH erasure code? and is it safe and stable if I use Erasure coding pool for VMs and containers?
[SOLVED] proxmox ceph erasure code

Proxmox VE supports EC pools for a while now, see the docs: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#pve_ceph_ec_pools
You can use them for VM and container disk images. But be aware that a regular replicated pool will also be created as it is needed to store the metadata for RBD disk images.

yep. Ceph can handle multiple pools using the same OSDs. Also, answering https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/create-ceph-erasure-code-pool.139459/#post-623000 here:
The replicated pool is to store the metadata. It will not get large, especially compared to the EC pool which contains the actual data.
