I thought I would turn an old PC I had sitting around into a data server. I did a little bit of research and decided that Proxmox was the way to go. I don't have a clue what I am doing and it seems like I bit off more than I could chew.

I am having so many problems getting things to work on it. With a ton of fumbling, I was finally able to get ZimaOS set up on a VM. I don't know why nothing else I throw at the machine sticks, but this does. Some things may actually be working fine, but I just don't know how to access them. I have 4 drives set up as a ZRAID in proxmox. I seem to lose a ton of storage space with this setup.

Since I really don't know what I am doing with proxmox, is there really any good reason to use ZimaOS in a VM? Seems like it's kind of pointless, and maybe I would get all that storage back to use.
