    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

    50 Failed disk format.jpg

    Selecting OK results in
    51 Failed disk 0 Disks.jpg

    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

    55 Virtual machine with ZFS Disk.jpg

    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.
