I see the last update to this topic was almost 3 years ago so I will stir it up again. I have a Proxmox cluster of desktop PC's running 8.3.2. Node 3 was previously running Ubuntu 22 with ZFS, 4 x 4TB raidz1 drives and 4 x 10TB raidz1 Vdevs (zdevs?) combined into a single volume of about 60TB. When I installed PM on the M.2 SSD drive in node3 I was thrilled to see that PM just picked up the ZFS stuff with no trouble (I was ready to rebuild it). Now I am looking at running an OpenMediaVault VM on this node with a ZFS config to explore its GUI, NAS sharing and backups for fun.
My question is whether or not over the past few years, updates, and experiences, are any new recommendations to run ZFS, Proxmox and an OpenMediaVault VM? Should I run ZFS on the PM node and pass everything through to the OMV VM, or should I destroy the Zpool and hand all the disks to OMV and let it handle ZFS? What are the latest suggestions/ideas for that?
BTW, before anyone goes there, I have no reason to change these disks into anything other than SMB and NFS shares for the PM cluster VMs and LXC's as I have a separate HP DL380G9 with 10 x 10TB enterprise disks, 192G RAM, 2 physical CPUS and a ridiculous amount of threads that are providing NFS as a PM image drive on a 10G network. Yes, I have entirely too much equipment for what I need but I'm having fun
Thanks for your thoughts!
