Hello,

I'm new to proxmox and love it... did my first installation (mirror ZFS on 2 HDD), uptated and created other ZFS pool on 2 SSD.

Everything seems smooth and OK but need to ask something before creating my VM (production at work):

Is this OK? Is ZFS mirror well configured on all drives?

If you select a ZFS pool and click on detail you should see which disks are part of the pool.

Deducting from the partitions and the pools, I would say that it looks like you have 2 mirrors. But as mentioned, select a pool and take a look at the details. You can achieve the same by running zpool status on the command line.
 
Thanks for the reply.

zpool status is OK

My question was due to the "Usage" column

zpool status:

Because of the required boot partition the first two disks are not zfs members in total, but only their third partition (***-part3).
Your second mirror consist of two full disks and is probably what you intended.
