Hi all,
I'm using it with the latest Proxmox/PVE:
pve-kernel-4.15 5.3-3
pve-manager 5.3-11
etc.
I'm logged in as root@pam.
My error log:

I've tried adding permissions under corresponding zfs pool:
Permissions -> Add -> User Permission -> User: root@pam -> Role: Administrator
but when I click "Add" nothing appears on the list.
Any ideas?

Hi Adam - It's a known issue with our current Proxmox builds
Unfortunately this is a known issue with our current Proxmox (LXC) builds. The quickest (and dirtiest) workaround is to allow the container to be initiated as a "privileged" container.
As noted on our issue tracker if you want to run it as an "unprivileged" container, you'll then need to remove the /var/spool/postfix/dev/random & /var/spool/postfix/dev/urandom files. Then create a Proxmox backup of the container. Then launch a new "unprivileged" instance from the backup.
Postfix should still work ok, although it will no longer support integration with LDAP. If you want/need LDAP integration with Postfix, then please try mount binding from /dev/random to /var/spool/postfix/dev/random and same for urandom. I haven't got around to testing that yet, so I can't confirm it will work, but fingers crossed. Alternatively, continue running it as a "privileged" container.
A bit of a pain I know sorry... We do hope to resolve this in a future release. Although as I say, unless I can get the mount bind working (and implement a service which recreates it at boot time) we may have to choose between supporting LDAP Postfix integration and the possibility of running "unprivileged" (the former is likely my preference).
FWIW, your post prompted me to do a little more research on the cause of the issue and I've posted an update to the issue here. I hope that assists you to understand the underlaying issue. Good luck.
