ZFS copy files to disk

[fredfred]

I'm new to and playing around with latest and greates ProxmoxVE.
I installed it on a physical machine with three disks. The first two are in a ZFS raid 1, this works fine and as expected.
The third disk I made a wipe and then create ZFS (all done in webgui), create a VM and ran it, works fine.

Now to the problem, I wanted to test to move a VM from my current Windows 10 Hyper-V and found a checklist for how to do that, basically create a new VM and attach the disk after copying it to ProxmoxVE.
Well, here's the problem, accessing my ProxmoxVE with WinSCP to copy the hard disk file I cannot find the attached disk anywhere in the file system, it's not under /mnt or anything, it's not anywhere - how do I find it?
Tried to create a vm and looks for something with that name but there is nothing... so how to?.

ZFS stores virtual disks as zvols, which are block devices, so you won't find a file. Did you see the "qm importdisk" command which can turn a uploaded image file into a zvol?

Well okay... let me re-phrase the question then.
The RAID1 disk is not large enough to store the diskfile I need to upload, but the third disk is.
Should I then use EXT4 and not use ZFS to succeed in what I need to do - so that I can store the file somewhere...

Ext4 will work fine ofcourse. On ZFS you need to create a filesystem on the pool first with zfs create yourPool/myNewFilesystem. Then you can store your file on /yourPool/myNewFilesystem (unless you change(d) he mountpoint).
