Recently moved into running a Proxmox server and quickly realised that although I enjoy the work, I simply don't have (or more specifically, wish to make) time to manage the infrastructure. A sad day indeed.
So, I'm moving everything back to the desktop. All my docker services running on LXC and my VMs. Still running the same tower so it will be fine in terms of hardware.
One of the features about ZFS I really enjoyed was being able to create volumes and assign each volume to application-specific directories on an LXC e.g. /opt/pihole, /opt/traefik etc... at 8/16/32GB each or wateva size I desired. These were volumes allocated from the zfs pool.
I'm tempted to still use ZFS on Arch but the nature of rolling relase means that I would be introducing complexity where I am specifically trying to simplify. So it's back to good ol' boring LVM!
I'll be using virt-manager on the desktop in this new configuration and wondered if there were any similarly pleasant tools and concepts that can be used on LVM. Is there a way to allocate similar distinct volumes using LVM? Can I do this using Webmin? Also despite the obvious design differences between the two filesystems, are logical volumes somewhat analogous to volumes on ZFS?

Looks like this can all be managed through virt-manager.
Also, LVM and ZFS as filesystems are a different layer to Qemu/KVM root and storage disks.
