I hope you have backups

Never should you pass disks though by VM. The disk and SMART data is not passed though so ZFS has no way of knowing disk status. It also has more overhead than just passing though a PCIe device.

I would strongly recommend that you fix this ASAP

Yes, that’s why I’ve posted this question, and I immediately powered the entire NAS off, as to avoid any damage. It’s currently still powered off, until I find the best way to move forward. What I’m afraid of is that if I try to import the pools that were managed by the TrueNAS VM into a bare metal TrueNAS install, or Proxmox, that it won’t work correctly, or that I could lose data.

  This might be a late reply but if your motherboard supports iommu you can pass your motherboard’s sata controller as a pcie device that is how my current TrueNAS VM is setup

    Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind

  I would just pickup a simple PCIe sata card. They are fairly inexpensive and are idea for what you are doing.
  
  Going forward, make sure you keep backups of important data.

    Yeah, it won’t happen again. I think I’ll migrate to managing ZFS directly from Proxmox, and then handle SMB in a VM or something, because I’m worried about compatibility, with the PCIe SATA card, as the system’s pretty dated.

    Fair enough
