Greetings fellow enthusiasts.

I’m going to rebuild my proxmox server and would like to have a few opinions.

First thing is I use my server as a NAS and then run VMs off that.

I have 2 x 20tb in ZFS mirror but I’m planning on changing that to 3 x 24tb in ZFS1.

I currently have a ZFS pool in proxmox and then add that pool to Open Media Vault.

Issue is, if my OMV breaks and I’ll have to create another VM, I’m pretty sure all that data would become inaccessible to my OMV.

I’ve heard of people creating a NFS in proxmox and then passing it through to OMV?

Or should I get HMB cards and then just pass it through the VM and then just run it natively within OMV. I’d need to install the ZFS kernal into OMV as well.

Would like to hear some options and tips.

    You can bind mount a directory on your pool into an lxc too. I do this with smb and a few other file/data services without issue but never tried omv. If containers work for you it might be the simpler way to go.
