Hi There,

I have a homelab setup and I have a desktop that uses ZFS for its root filesystem and I want to use Libvirt Locally and Proxmox ZFS over ISCSI on the same pool, ideally without effecting my desktop datasets.

I believe libvirt and Proxmox use zvols, can these co-exist without issue? And for both will they interfere with the desktop filesystem (apart from performance)?

I know this is beyond just Proxmox but I ask here as I think it the most specialised scope.

Thanks for any help in advance!

So I went away and did some testing!

Where Proxmox asks for a Pool a dataset can be used
Where Libvirt askes for a source a dataste can be used

In both cases I had in mind that I could only specify a pool, that is not the case.

Given this I have created seperate datasets for Libvirt and Proxmox in a subdataset (srv in my case) and they seem to live happily together!
