Hello together,
i thought i'd understood ZFS quite enough but no i am not so sure. On in my cluster consisting of two node, each having a local ZFS RaidZ2, called data (zpool), which uses all of the disks in that server except the one, Proxmox itself is installed on.
I wanted to add another "zfs" storage through the WebGui and gave it the ID anotherdata and as ZFS POOL i chose data (the one from above). To my surprise i can now see both of the storages appearing under my node(s), but in an instant all the VM disks which were shown under content of data before, now appear (only there!) under anotherdata. VMs are still running.
This was not what i wanted. I thought i could add another storage which i wanted to use to separate disks of different users by assigning different user rights to data and anotherdata.
No i don't know how to reverse to the state i head before since i am afraid to delete all VM Images when i delete anotherdata.
So i deactivated anotherdata, but the VM-Images didn't appear under the content of data. The VMs were still running without any problems, but their images weren't shown anywhere in the cluster (at least not in the WebGui).
Can i delete anotherdata or would that delete all the VM-Images suddenly stored there?! What kind of storage is a new zfs inside an existing zpool?
Does it make sense to move a VM-Image from anotherdata back to data?
thx!
