I've noticed, that it's not possible to install a dedicated server with a Proxmox 6 ZFS Template any more.
I've installed a Server with such a Template a couple of weeks ago. Is there someone else missing it too?
Only Proxmox 5 had a ZFS template in the past, but it is now deprecated I believe.
You could install Proxmox on ZFS manually using rescue mode (only for advanced user) if the standard Proxmox 6 is shown in the template list, if not… hum it is unclear to me if it works or not…
I was wrong. I installed a proxmox recently using an ovh template with ZFS support. But it was the normat Proxmox 6 template.
This template install proxmox into a small ext4 Partition. And after the istallation you can create a zpool using the proxmox frontend.
Hello @CarstenB
did you succeed to install Proxmox 6 with ZFS on a bare metal OVH server?
Thanks for your feedback
yes.
After the installation, I've removed the /dev/md4 containing /var/lib/vz. I've deleted the volumn group and the partitions.
In the End I've created a zpool with
` zpool create Maschines mirror /dev/nvme0n1p4 /dev/nvme1n1p4`
------------------------------
here comes the history. Hope it helps.
