Struggling with ZFS [SOLVED]

[pmx_fan]

I've migrated all my VMs across to Proxmox over the last 12 months, all that remains is an encrypted one. I would like to rebuild it from scratch as a VM on proxmox. I understand ZFS encryption is the way to go.

I'm trying to add ZFS pool using the GUI, but my disks do not appear in the list of devices when I go Nodes > Mynode / Disks / ZFS / Create: ZFS.

I have unused 4tb drive I would like to use and I've removed it from Storage thinking it might now be available in this list, but it does not.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks to chatgpt, I had to delete any partitions on the disk before it would show up. Makes sense now in retrospect!
