Hi,
I was wondering if someone could lend me a hand on a few questions i have,
Currently I have samba share, after reading on creating shadow copies i had 3 options, BTRFS, ZFS or LVM,
As i tried LVM snapshots could not get it work, and im more familiar with ZFS then BTRFS, But there is an issue. The samba share is a VM inside proxmox which runs ZFS. So the samba OS disk is ext while the second disk is ZFS and was successfully configured the shadow copies, but not sure what consequences im going to have in the future because its a vm under proxmox which has ZFS.
And my second question, Now that i have a vm disk which has the ZFS i would need in the future to know how to expand it, i was reading a bit and found out how to expand it and it worked but theres a part where i delete a partition which i dont know why so not sure if its the correct way.
These are the steps i took and it worked without deleting any information

- do i need to scrub that disk in the vm?
- how often should i scrub? before i was scrubbing my host every week but now im doing every month
- What should i be prepare as running ZFS under another vm disk which has ZFS

Code:
zpool set autoexpand=on data
parted /dev/vdc
parted /dev/vdc rm 9
parted /dev/vdc resizepart 1 100%
zpool online -e data /dev/vdc
