Proxmox CT on zfs?

[zBrain]

When I go to create a CT it doesn't give me the option to use the zfs store, only the local dir. Is this expected behavior?

Does the zfs store have rootdir attribute enabled?

Please post a screenshot of your storage configuration or the output of pvesm status in CODE tags.

I can't find a rootdir attribute.

Here's the screenshot:

And you are talking about the "local-zfs" storage where you can't store LXC virtual disks?
pvesm set local-zfs --content rootdir,images will tell PVE to use that store for VM and LXC virtual disks, in case it isn't set for that already (which you could check by having a look at the storage.cfg: cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg).

It appears to already be set. I can create VMs on it with no issues.

And are you sure you are not getting confused with the template field in the "template" tab/step? When creating a LXC you first select a template and this has to be stored on the "local" storage. If that list is empty you need to download a template first. Only later in the LXC creation you select the storage where you want to store the virtual disk. Is it really the "Disks" tab/step where you can't choose your "local-zfs"?

Just asking, because seen people here that thought the "ressource pool" dropdown (which has nothing to do with storage) when creating a VM would be where you select the VM storage, and also complained that "local-zfs" can't be selected there. So I wouldn't wonder if this is a similar misunderstanding of the GUI.

Yep, that's likely my issue. hahaha thanks...I need more coffee.
