Hi all,

Last ditch effort to hopefully find a solution before I use a different FS (but would much rather ZFS)! If any of the below is not clear or I have left out important information please do let me know. Appreciate any help and advice.

Problem
Unable to create a ZFS pool using the drives I have plugged into my ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 card V2. When trying to create the pool I receive a message telling me ZFS is not compatible with hardware raid.

Setup
Lenovo ThinkStation P710 (latest BIOS version)
ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 card V2
2x Samsung 980 1TB NVMe
PCIe bifurcation enabled and working, Proxmox can see both of the NVMe drives

What I've Tried
I have tried to find RAID settings in my BIOS (ChatGPT suggested it may be a VROC setting) but I unfortunately fell short. I cannot see any sort of config that suggests I have RAID enabled for PCIe storage devices. I did find RAID settings for SATA and sSata, both are set to AHCI.

Can anyone offer any insights?
