Recently tried Proxmox, spent few hours on trying to boot any VM placed on ZFS pool but with no luck. Same VMs converted from raw to vmdk (iirc) worked on 2 other, identical NVMe disks with software ext4 raid.
- simcop2387 3y agoVery odd, I'd love to know more since I've got that setup going on my router/edge box right now. ZFS mirror on two NVMe disks as the storage for root fs and VMs.
- voytec 3y agoIt was a recent Proxmox version (newest ~6 weeks ago). It's possible that I used some experimental new kernel version and haven't tried on completely basic/default setup. The disks were Samsung's MZVL21T0HCLR-00B00. The pair with ext4 sw raid booted all VMs (Linux, FreeBSD) with no issues but second pair with ZFS pool wouldn't. It may have been due to the newer kernel version but I asked myself a few questions about what's missing in FreeBSD's bhyve regarding my needs and took this route instead of trying default kernel. # zpool list NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT VMs 952G 828G 124G - - 36% 87% 1.00x ONLINE - zroot 944G 1.21G 943G - - 0% 0% 1.00x ONLINE -
