Hello everyone, I have a very minor amount of experience with PVE. I have 1 server running currently that is working fine it only has 2 drives in it 1 nvme and 1 hdd. But I got a new server and HDDs and am having a issue doing what I want. I have 1 256gb SSD, and 5 6TB HDDs installed in a lenovo thinkstation P900. When I installed PVE I installed it on the SSD with ext4. I am now trying to create a RaidZ1 with the 5 6tb drives (4 data, 1 redundancy) I went into PVE into the ZFS tab and created the ZFS raidz, and it looks correct. Shows 30TB total, and 23tb usable. But when I try to add it to a VM it will only let me add just over 13TB to a VM. If I do that then go back and look it shows all the space is being used. Am I missing something here?

Here is a screenshot of the storage tab https://imgur.com/a/A9zgfJn, and here is what I get from zpool status.
This is what I get from zpool status.
