I'm currently planning to build a new server after I discovered what my system uses in Idle. As I have to set up a new system anyways I would like to add a NAS to it to manige my storage. Currently I just have a zfs-Pool in proxmox for my Data-Drives and all VMs/Containers that need access have escalated rights and can directly access the pool (and all other storage on proxmox) which is a bit janky and definetly not best practice security-wise. Another negative side effect is that the drives are barely spun down. Thats why I now want to have a Nas as the only System controling the Drive pool. Here's where my question comes up: Should I run TrueNas (scale?) in a VM and pass the drives through somehow (is that possible without mounting them in Proxmox, as I would like them fully controled by the Nas, including running the zfs pool, etc. ?)? Or do I install TrueNas scale and then run Proxmox as a VM inside, would my performance penalty be huge here, would I still be able to pass throught USB/PCI devices (maybe even the cpu's igup to forward that to jellyfin if that's even possible in Proxmox?)?
