[PATCH pve-container 0/1] Proposal for adding zfs dataset mounting possibility

[Roland]

what about adding zfs datasets as a general type of storage?

currently, you need to create a dataset manually and add that as type
"dir" to proxmox, to be able to use file backed instead of zvol backed VMs

that feels ugly.

I've prepared a little patch for pve-container package which adds a fourth "category" named "zfs" - so with this patch it's possible to add such ZFS dataset into container config in a form "mpN: <ZFS pool name>/<dataset path>,<mount path>". This new type can be useful in some cases - for instance when we need to mount ZFS dataset in the container but need to keep this dataset not mounted on the host.
