How to Fix Proxmox PVE can’t create ZFS pool

ZFS is a combined file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems.
By using ZFS, its possible to achieve maximum enterprise features with low budget hardware.

General ZFS advantages:

When trying to create a ZFS pool in Proxmox VE (PVE) or other platforms, we get an error like below

command ‘/sbin/zpool create -o ‘ashift=12′ mirror /dev/disk/by-id/xxxxxx /dev/disk/by-id/yyyyyy’ failed: exit code 1

Usually this error will appear, if we are trying to create a ZFS pool with disks which has existing partition tables or disks with different size.
One of the disks has ext4 format or NTFS or any other partition tables etc.
One of the disk is 1TB, another disk is 500G, we want to create a ZFS mirror or RAIDz etc.


Nevertheless, if we have to create a ZFS pool with disks that have existing partitions and in different size, yes we can still do it. In this case, we can use the -f option to force it to create the ZFS pool.
