As it says in the title how viable would running FreeNAS in a VM on Proxmox via passing through the zfs disk's via passing through the sata controller and using a VM disk for the System Disk.
I'm planning on testing it on an old box to see if it would enable it to use FreeNAS 10 on release.
It can't mount gpt due to the weird bios and just stalls on start. So I'm planning on checking if this will in effect bypass that but I don't know if the ZFS pool will be partitioned using gpt and if that will result in the same thing.
Planning to use it as an old backup box. At the moment I use an externel drive and before I just install Linux on it I want to try getting this working.
My new system works great, but as I struggled to ever get FreeNAS working on my old system after 9.3 update I'm wondering if you guys have any opinions or advice to see if this might work as a workaround.
Obviously this is not going to be a recommended daily driver.
