Looking for a storage VPS that'll allow me to run ZFS
Hi,
I'm looking for a VPS service where I can turn the storage in the ZFS pool, so that I can then use this to send zfs snapshots to. Preferrably not too expensive - found some options but these quicky go to the 20-30e/m range.
+- 2TB should be sufficient (for now)
Bonus points if it's in the EU...

Do you mean a storage provider where you can install via ISO etc and setup your own ZFS within the VM, or a storage provider who uses ZFS on the host and can give you direct access to it?
vps with block storage?
I'd say basically any KVM-based VPS will do this job.
Unless you need root on ZFS, you can simple create a zpool on a separate partition or virtual disk.
BuyVM Slice&Slab in Luxembourg could a convenient option as you can simply stack slabs as you need.
If you're new, Slice is the VPS with SSD for your OS and Slab is the block storage to be added as additional virtual hard disk.
Unfortunatelly stock is quite limited / low and often sold out.
