Hello,
I am in the middle of trying out Proxmox for the first time.
My old PC used to be Windows 10 which had 4 Hard Drives running as a Zpool, accessed by Windows. It was a pain to get ZFS to work for me using OpenZFSOnWindows, but it worked. The Zpool stored a large quantity of games from steam.
Now I want to make this old computer be primarily proxmox. However I'd like to still be able to access the ZFS Pools existing data. I was able to mount the ZPOOL already to the Proxmox node. But now I'm unsure where to continue.
I'd like to be able to either access the steam games either from my new PC via quickly transferring them over the network, or run the games locally on a VM? inside proxmox maybe? It wouldn't have to be a windows VM though so that saves allot of hassle.
I tried looking up various guides on giving VM's access to a proxmox node's storage directly but there were allot of various opinions on whether or not that someone would even wanna do that.
What should I do? My internet has not great download speeds and I really don't want to have to re download everything.
As you can see my Zpool is already imported into proxmox, I also made sure to add it to the proxmox node as well and it worked great. (Its also RaidZ1)
