Proxmox rebuild (self.selfhosted)

Greetings fellow enthusiasts.

I'm going to rebuild my proxmox server and would like to have a few opinions.

First thing is I use my server as a NAS and then run VMs off that.

I have 2 x 20tb in ZFS mirror but I'm planning on changing that to 3 x 24tb in ZFS1.

I currently have a ZFS pool in proxmox and then add that pool to Open Media Vault.

Issue is, if my OMV breaks and I'll have to create another VM, I'm pretty sure all that data would become inaccessible to my OMV.

I've heard of people creating a NFS in proxmox and then passing it through to OMV?

Or should I get HMB cards and then just pass it through the VM and then just run it natively within OMV. I'd need to install the ZFS kernal into OMV as well.

Would like to hear some options and tips.

My own approach is to run vm/lxc of SSDs that's are hosted on proxmox directly.

Then I have a truenas with Nas storage. I mount that through SMB to proxmox and pass the different dirs into the vm/lxc that need them.

SSD are much better performance for vm/lxc.

Edit: even running the Nas as a vm i would mount it with SMB, making it easy to spilt them up later if you want. Also I have 10gbit netcards between the nas and proxmox.
