Proxmox - Add Storage Drives
ZFS Pools
It is recommended by Proxmox to use ZFS Pools for Storing your VMs.
ZFS gives you more performance and Redundancy.
# Setup # List Drives $ ls /dev/disk/by-id # Create a pool $ zpool create -f -m <mount> <pool> <type> <ids> - create: subcommand to create the pool. - -f: Force creating the pool to bypass the “EFI label error”. - -m: The mount point of the pool. If this is not specified, then the pool will be mounted to root as /pool. - pool: This is the name of the pool. - type: mirror, raidz, raidz2, raidz3. If omitted, the default type is a stripe or raid 0. - ids: The names of the drives/partitions to include in the pool obtained from ls /dev/disk/by-id. # Eg $ zpool create -f -m /mnt/zstorage zstorage raidz2 <ids> # To check your pool $ zpool list $ zpool list -v $ zpool iostat $ zpool iostat -v # Check Proxmox Storage Manager Know it exists: $ pvesm zfsscan # configure your ZFS Pool $ zfs create zstorage/iso $ zsf create zstorage/share $ zsf create zstorage/vmstorage $ zsf create zstorage/cnstorage # To set quota $ zfs set quota=1000G zstorage/iso # To check $ zfs list $ zpool status $ zpool iostat -v # Now go to the gui -> Datacenter -> storage -> Add -> Directory -> zstorage/iso ( Make sure only “ISO image” and “Container template” are selected. ) # ...Directory -> Add -> ZFS -> Id: vmstorage -> ZFS Pool: /zstorage/vmstorage
