Using Proxmox as a Home Server Part II - SSHFS NAS

In part 2 of this series of guides, we will create a ZFS pool on our storage media, and then create our first LXC container to provide access to them over the network.

What is ZFS?

ZFS, short for Zettabyte File System, was first released 20 years ago next month (November 2025). It provides not just the functions expected of a filesystem, which manages the data thats stored on a volume, but also functions as the physical volume manager, allowing us to take multiple physical disks, and present them to the OS as a single, formatted, device.
