Hi,

excuse my ignorance and lack of knowledge but Im still learning!

I have a new pc with the following

2x 250gb SSD (Mirrored for proxmox install)
2x 1tb nvme (Mirrored for LXC and VMs)
1x8tb hdd for media collection etc

When I first installed proxmox, I did the following on the NVME drives
Proxmox -> disks -> zfs -> create zfs
Add Disks to Pool (NVME)
Raid level = mirror

This is used for all of my containers and vms

If I go to Proxmox -> disks -> zfs I see nvme with the following:
Name Size Free Allocated
nvme 993.43gb 922.82gb 73.61gb


Is there anyway I can repartition this pool to create another partition to be used by the lxcs and vms?

Thanks
 
Repartitioning is not possible, nor is it necessary. You can create as many filesystems (datasets) as you like :cool:. For example:

Code:
zfs create <poolname>/<datasetnam>

If you are not yet familiar with the ZFS wiki page, take a look at it [0]. It contains a lot of information about how ZFS works and what you can do with it.
