    If you ever want to get a Proxmox cluster go for 3-5 identical machines. I have a 3 totally different machines and it creates headaches

      What kind of headaches are you having? I’ve been running two completely different machines in a cluster with a pi as a Qdevice to keep quorum and it’s been incredibly stable for years.

        One device decided to be finicky and the biggest storage array is all on one system.

        It really sucks you can’t do HA with BTRFS. It is more reliable than ZFS due to licensing

            OpenZFS is not GPL compatible so it can never be baked into the kernel in the same way BTRFS can. I’ve run into issues where I’ve needed to downgrade the kernel but if I do the system won’t boot.

            Btrfs also doesn’t need any special software to work as it is completely native and baked in.
