Core Idea

Storage pool is A Proxmox abstraction over a specific backend (LVM-Thin, LVM, ZFS, Directory, NFS, CIFS, PBS, …). Each pool advertises which content types it can hold—for example local (Directory) stores ISOs/backups only, while local-lvm (LVM-Thin) stores VM disks and LXC roots. It usually makes the most sense alongside Thin provisioning, Proxmox Backup Server (PBS), Recovery dry run.

Why It Matters Here
