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.

    I run snapraid and mergerfs, as the nas storage. Not much changes on my NAS and the stuff I really care about like my pictures and videos are on a small ZFS pool. Both are directly on proxmox, meaning I can just plug them in to another Linux machine and research if it all goes sideways. Its all shared from the host via SMB NFS or for jellyfin and immicher its a moint point for the container
