Hello,

We have a brand new Aoostar WTR-MAX (AOOSTAR WTR MAX AMD R7 PRO 8845HS 11 Bays Mini PC（Pre-sale, shipping o) and installed Proxmox 9.x on it. I installed napp-it cs on it. I tried to create a ZFS pool on it. It seems to work but after rebooting, the config is gone and the HDD drives are available for a new try.

1. Before diving in, I just want to make sure Proxmox 9 is supported.
2. I did find the option to ask a quote for home support for the appliance, it couldn’t find an option for the cs version. Do you offer this already please?

thanks

Fyi: there are a few mistakes in the tl;dr section of the document.
1. path is not complete
2. Pkg is BSD .

Thanks, I have fixed pkg -> apt typo in the proxmox-aio.pdf

btw
which path?

Your problem seems that Proxmox does not auto import the pool after reboot as it should
Can you manually import the pool?

@gea
sh /var/csweb-gui/startup/backend+web-gui/proxmox/apache_proxmox.sh

should be
sh /var/csweb-gui/startup/backend+web-gui/proxmox/apache/apache_proxmox.sh

apt install apache24
should that be:
apt install apache2

Highlights from yesterday's OpenZFS developer conference:

Most important OpenZFS announcement: AnyRaid
This is a new vdev type based on mirror or Raid-Zn to build a vdev from disks of any size where datablocks are striped in tiles (1/64 of smallest disk or 16G). Largest disk can be 1024x of smallest with maximum of 256 disks per vdev. AnyRaid Vdevs can expand, shrink and auto rebalance on shrink or expand.

Basically the way Raid-Z should have be from the beginning and propably the most superiour flexible raid concept on the market.

Large Sector/ Labels
Large format NVMe require them
Improve S3 backed pools efficiency

Blockpointer V2
More uberblocks to improve recoverability of pools

Amazon FSx
fully managed OpenZFS storage as a service

Zettalane storage
with HA in mind, based on S3 object storage
This is nice as they use Illumos as base

Storage grow (be prepared)
no end in sight (AI needs)
cost: hd=1x, SSD=6x

Discussions:
mainly around realtime replication, cluster options with ZFS, HA and multipath and object storage integration
