I can help with Proxmox setup and troubleshooting. What specific issue are you facing?
Hello, I hope you found the right spot to share this. Today I installed Proxmox multiple times. Initially, RAID wasn’t enabled. I’m using a smaller SSD for Proxmox—1 NVMe SSD and two 2TB HDDs—that I plan to run in RAID 1. The issue is that Proxmox appears to be consuming all available storage, leaving nothing for ZFS or directories. During installation, it was set to the smaller SSD. Can someone assist me? I’m really confused. I’ve also tried reformatting the drives Proxmox shouldn’t use, but that caused the machine to fail to start.
A simple solution is to disconnect unused drives. Would you like me to display a screenshot of the installer? It seems it will use all available drives by default, so you’ll need to configure it. Can you view the current drive configuration, perhaps using a command like zpool list?
With the installer, you pick a specific disk. I wasn’t sure it would cover all places. The issue seems tied to that choice—I plan to change it tomorrow, which could mean removing an NVMe SSD in a difficult spot.

These sections were originally identical. Now I’m trying to rearrange them, but it seems like I might have made a mistake. It’s possible I selected the incorrect option somewhere.
