Proxmox zfs install error

[Patch]

I assume I am doing something wrong as my install fails as it does not permit me to select the zfs disk partition to install pfsense on

Selecting OK results in

I am using

• Proxmox VE v7.0-8 the current release
• pfSense CE v2.5.2 the current release, iso
• Clean install of both

Proxmox installed with

• zfs on a single 250GB SSD
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8365U CPU
• Ram 16GB
• 6 x intel i211 NIC

Virtual Machine

• Hard disk (virtio0) 8GB
• CPU - Local
• 4 x NIC via Linux Bridges

pfSense installed with

• Clean install
• Auto ZFS
• Defaults
• Results in the error at the top of this post

@patch On the very first screen you show, you need to press Space to select that disk for use. Then you can press Enter for OK and continue.

@kom thanks
I will give that a try.

I wasn’t sure if both the host and client using zfs was compatible. I suppose the alternative is using a higher level interface on the client.

Btw I tried many keys at random on the keyboard as I wanted to mark the shown option but must not have tried space

I suppose you are not using ZFS on the VM data store at all.
