![]() You decided to read on to this section, so I can be confident you are an advanced user, curious, or just hate yourself and your data. HOWEVER, if you want to learn, implement caching of any kind, or do any other advanced set up, read the next section to learn how to put together ZFS arrays from the command line. Once this is done you can easily create a zpool with the disks you have installed and call it a day. Which will allow you to start modifying the partitions, in this case deleting them all so we can use them for Proxmox. My favorite commands for prepping the disks has to be The web interface allows you to make a pool quite easily, but does require some set up before it will allow you to see the all of the available disks. To avoid this bottleneck, I decided to use the ZFS functionality that Proxmox already has, and toughen up and learn how to manage ZFS pools from the command line like a real sysadmin. I even set this up and had a pool going, but decided that this would rely too heavily on the loopback interface and could create an unnecessary bottleneck since I added 10gb Ethernet recently. I originally thought I would make a FreeNAS VM and use that to manage the storage and pass through the SAS HBA to it so I could take advantage of the ZFS features I set out to have while also having the fantastic user and share management that FreeNAS has to offer. I’ve been up and running a few weeks at the time of this post, and so far my favorite way to set up my disks is in ZFS arrays.
