Hi I need some help with Proxmox. If you can please redirect me to useful ressources (I read the official Doku but it didn’t really help)

I am having problem understanding the different types of storages and how to access them in a vm for example. Example words are:

  • ZFS, ISCI, LVM, LVM-thin…
  • Bus Controller (Virtio SCSI, IDE,… )

I feel like these are basic topics but I don’t seem to understand anything. My latest problem was me trying to pass a third of an ssd (1TB) an another 128 GB from another ssd. I wanted to use the small volume as boot and the big volume as slow storage in a Windows vm but I got an error message about a bus beeing used multiple times. [sorry I don’t have the config anymore]

So if someone could redirect me to sth which would help me understand the whole storage virtualization and storage config for vms topic, I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advanced kind stranger.

    I was typing out a response but you beat me to it and I saw yours pop up while typing. This is all spot on.
