I do also use Proxmox, but some People do not have this option.
Even if we disclaim ZFS, we need a better way to choose SoftwareRaid-Options during the Install !

What is the problem with choosing software raid during install? I have done this a LOT. And frankly I think it is a matter of getting experience with the way Anaconda handles disks. Even if you just want to get that experience, it can be done with Virtualbox. Just create multiple vdisks and use them as part of 1 or more raidset(s).
For instance use 2 disks with raid 1 for / and 3 disks with raid 5 for /var/lib/nethserver (yes you have to manually add that mountpoint.) It is no rocket science and I think it is quite straightforward already.
But as any new feature, I would applaud any attempt to get ZFS available on NethServer.
OK, youâre talking about installation; I was thinking about management once the systemâs installed. Both important things, but orthogonal issues. And Proxmox isnât any better in terms of management of the pool once the systemâs installed. So really, integration should include:
I donât agree. Itâs better than simply ext4 on bare disks (or LVM), but it still misses many of the benefits that running directly on ZFS providesâI mentioned some of those up-thread. It also effectively cuts your available storage in halfâyou really want at least 50% free space when youâre using ZFS primarily for block storage (i.e., for zvols, which is what youâd be doing with Proxmox). And thereâs the overhead from the virtualization layer to consider as well.
True, if you let Anaconda do itâs job. If you want anything more fancy, you have to manually create raidset(s) for your NethServer install. Thatâs what I referred to as being no rocket science.,
