having a hard time finding out if datasets or zvols are better for cold storage of large files, and which is better for use with VMs and containers.
is it better to add zpool as zfs in proxmox gui, or as directory?
when using datasets and creating a VM disk, it looks like proxmox is creating a zvol?
i'm looking to setup container instead of VM for NAS, and will be copying data anyway after changing recordsize..
as dir, vm can use qcow2 or vmdk, but zvol only raw, so which is better?
