Bug Description
I have HP DL380 Gen 9 physical servers with 300GB OS disks and 18TB of storage on /dev/sdb. When I deploy the server with Ubuntu 22.04 and choose to make it an LXD vmhost - it installs but uses a storage of type "disk" and there isn't an option to specify /dev/sdb to be a zfs storage. I've also not found instructions for changing the default storage to /dev/sdb as zfs.
Hi there!
I should probably begin with the following quote from this docs post, https:/ /discourse. maas.io/ t/about- machine- customisation/ 7902:
> MAAS doesn’t currently support deploying with ZFS for devices other than the root one. For this reason, ZFS is not recommended.
I do, however, remember seeing some users talking about using ZFS for custom machine storage layouts that are applied after deploy, or during deploy with custom scripts (https:/ /discourse. maas.io/ t/custom- storage- layout- configuration- examples/ 5361/2), which has since been included in our docs as https:/ /maas.io/ docs/reference- maas-storage# custom- storage- layouts
I hope that's helpful, do reach out if not of course!
