The Proxmox Boot Dilemma: ZFS vs. BTRFS Redundancy

Are you still running your Proxmox server on a single, aging EXT4 SSD ? It’s time to upgrade to a redundant boot pool, but the choice between ZFS and BTRFS can be highly debated. In this video, we explore whether you should save money by using cheaper consumer SSDs with BTRFS—a setup that Proxmox still labels as a "technology preview" . We also discuss why many users prefer sticking with the "boring" but proven reliability of ZFS to avoid the extra mental load of mixing different filesystems on one machine . Join us as we break down SSD write endurance, update anxiety, and how to achieve the lowest-drama setup for your home lab ! #Proxmox #ZFS #BTRFS #HomeLab #ServerStorage #ServerBuild
