  • Fellow virtualizers, I am on my quest to build a custom NAS with SMB-Shares hosted on a TrueNAS VM which I want to backup using borgmatic to pack backups and rclone to push said backups into a remote storage so I can fulfill the holy 3-2-1 rule. I have already setup TrueNAS VM and one SMB Test-Share, which I have loaded with few GBs of testdata which is located on a dedicated SATA-SSD which I initialized in Proxmox as ZFS and passed through to the TrueNAS VM as harddisk scsi2. I have added the disk to TrueNAS and setup a Pool, where multiple subfolders incl. the 13GB testdata are located. However, the directory named ` /wd-240g` on the Proxmox host is empty when accessing it via CLI. Do I have to mount this volume in order to access it, or is it not possible due to the passthrough and Disk/Pool setup in Proxmox?
