Hi all,

I recently installed Photon OS as a Docker host but I like to create a RAID 5 or RAIDZ-1 pool for Photon OS to use.

I don't think Photon has ZFS or MDADM since it is a minimal OS, so I was going to create the pool on the Proxmox host and pass a NFS mount to Photon.

What's the performance like for a local NFS mount - is it close to physical disk access or will I run into bottlenecks over local NFS?

Thanks.
