[SOLVED] local-zfs not available for LXC creation

[t0mz]

I am making my first hooray into ZFS and as part of that wanted to create a LXC container (Debian+samba).
While setting up the container I only get to see "local", but not local-zfs. Was wondering if there is a technical reason for this? Should LXC containers not be on local-zfs?



Got 2 500GB in ZFS RAID1 in case that matters.
The currently unused 1TB HDD, sdb, is supposed to become the data drive for SAMBA.

Hi,

what's your storage configuration (cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg)?
Is "Container" selected for the "Content" dropdown in the storage configuration?

I was just typing up all the details you asked for and then realised my little "brain fart"

The first selection was for template storage and not the container. The next screen offers "local-zfs" as expected.
I think it's time for a coffee, thanks for asking the right questions to make the realize.

No worries, good to hear you solved it!
