[PVE-User] Proxmox and ZFS on large JBOD ?

[Kyle Schmitt]

I would separate it out.  I'm running a moderate sized ZFS array on
one box, with a small 10GB ethernet network dedicated to serving NFS
from that array to my proxmox nodes.  I had bonded 1G before for the
same setup, and usually it was a non-issue, but sometimes there was a
slowdown. With 10G no slowdown on my workloads.

I haven't explored serving ZFS from linux, so mine is on FreeBSD, and
it's rock solid.
