I've been reading about Proxmox and it appears much better then I imagined. Is anyone using a OpenVZ OMV vm with Plex installed? I see that with OpenVZ you do not have to passthru hardware. There is a memory leak issue with OMV and Plex on ESXi and I was wondering if Plex works correctly in an OpenVZ vm. Also, are you using ZFS with Proxmox? What are your opinions on Proxmox? Pros vs. Cons?

I wouldn't touch OpenVZ with a ten foot pole, personally. Some folks say, "No kernel? No problem?", but I say, "No Brain no pain". I've seen a lot of file descriptor problems with OpenVZ, and more than my share of support tickets from customers with complaints about how we compiled kernels because firewalls couldn't load necessary modules for what they were doing, or worse, the inability to compile their own packages w/o continually asking about how a kernel was compiled.
We just don't do it anymore, sometimes, like with OpenVZ, you just aren't smart enough to know that you're actually stupid. I like to use that comparison because OpenVZ really doesn't know the difference. Sure, a DNS server? Some other uses? Yes it's economical. But I like my boxes to have brains.
Interesting observation about the memory leak under VMware though. I'll look into that
Kindest regards,

I have been using Plex Media Server in a Debian 7 openvz container, no issues at all. I am also using Proxmox. It works great...
