Hey all, I’ve got ZFS pool created and just create a VM drive in that pool like normal, then Jellyfin just has that drive mounted. I think I’m losing the best parts of ZFS through this manner.

How should I set this up properly? Create a media pool or something and have VMs accessing the pool directly?

    So you mount the pool to each vm that needs the shared data? Afaik zfs is not made for concurrency

      Zfs (and most modern filesystems) are fine with concurrency.

      I mount the same data store into several instances, it works well. Just needs some planning for permissions.

              Yes, Lxc, docker, whatever cgroup2 isolation environment, but not VMS, true.

              Vms can achieve the same thing through shares

                Thanks. My setup is way over complicated with 3 hosts in a cluster and shared storage, so local storage on the hosts stay unused. But i have been thinking about redoing it with separate hosts. This solution looks promising for sharing data, even if just on one host
