Subject: [PATCH pve-docs] installation: zfs: hdsize applies to all disks of the pool
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 09:58:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016075808.1393338-1-dietmar@proxmox.com> (raw)
Since pve-installer commit 8269582 ("zfs: assume that all devices are
boot devices"), the installer partitions every disk of a ZFS setup as a
boot disk and limits each of them to hdsize, at every RAID level. The
restriction to the first disk or mirror of a RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10
setup predates that change.
