For additional clarity, I meant TrueNAS CORE, which is still based on FreeBSD and is still free as in beer. TrueNAS SCALE is Linux-based, as another commenter mentioned, but also optimized for large storage... and is also free? SCALE is the future direction, I think, while CORE is the tried and true, mature product but is now sort of deprecated? iX's messaging and branding isn't very clear on this. Either should work for you, AFAICT, a lot better than trying to use Proxmox as a NAS. FWIW, I have used TrueNAS CORE in the past (when it was still called FreeNAS) as the NFS server *for* a Proxmox install, and it was solid. -Adam

IMHO, you want TrueNAS, not Proxmox, to solve this problem. Ultimately, the problem is SystemD's notion of dependencies and timeouts, which Proxmox+OpenZFS still relies on. Source: I have a Debian 10 system with 29 storage devices, 24 of which are multipathed, and have had to edit & override various systemd settings to get it to boot cleanly, reliably. -Adam Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: pve-user <[email protected]> on behalf of Martin Dziobek <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 10, 2022 7:13:50 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [PVE-User] Proxmox and ZFS on large JBOD ? Hi pve-users ! Does anybody has experiences if proxmox works flawlessly to manage a large zfs volume consisting of a SAS-connected JBOD of 60 * 1TB-HDDs ? Right now, management is done with a regular Debian 11 installation, and rebooting the thing always ends up in a timeout mess at network startup, because it takes ages to enumerate all those member disks, import the zpool and export it via NFS. I am considering to install Proxmox on this server for the sole purpose of smooth startup and management operation. Might that be a stable solution ?
