Okay I saw this posted a lot and apparently it is pretty common but why do people virtualize your nas in for example a proxmox server/cluster. If that goes down it gets super hard to get your data back than if you do it bare Metal, doesn't it? Are people only doing it so save on seperate devices or are my concerns unreasonable?

Hard to guess at for any given situation, but a few pluses that come to mind depending on the drive arrangement would be taking out any network latency issues between a client and the nas. Or if you have a VM using the nas as its operational drive it takes out the 'oops, lost the link and my OS drive went away' mid run factor. Keep all your container/vm traffic internal and have that single VM sync back to a bare metal... Might have to consider some ideas on that front myself now that I think of it.

More exciting are the people that host Their firewall/router like OPNSense/PFSense as a VM on their system! 😄
