Probably not your problem, since the error seems to be ARC related, but did you try the new BIOS that follows the Intel Baseline Profile? That could explain freezes under high load.

Would that report errors in the proxmox shell? I am seriously asking, have no idea. I only know that memtest does report errors.

Sorry I can't really further help you. Only idea I have left is to live boot memtest86 to see if there is something wrong with your RAM.

I am nowhere near qualified enough to understand these logs, but since you got no answer, I will give it a try. Is your system running out of RAM? Maybe this happens and you have no SWAP. How much of the 64GB are assigned to VMs? I for one also have 64GB, my VMs could use 32GB and ARC it set...

I am not an expert on this topic, but I think you guys are mixing a lot of stuff together. PLP is so that in case of a system halt, the drive can safely flush data in-flight (or data that resides in the drive’s DRAM or SRAM cache buffers) to the persistent or non-volatile Flash memory and...

Well, the same could be said for mirror. There is 3 way mirror and RAIDZ2-3 if you want to survive multiple drive failures. But I agree on that RAIDZ is not good for virtualisation for many reasons and the only advantage of RAIDZ (Storage efficiency) is sometimes even not true.

Thank you guys for your feedback! Glad that you seem to like it. I personally think that most mirror proponents focus to much on performance. That leads beginners to believe, that because they don’t need the performance, they will get away with the increased efficiency. They would say stuff...

Another simple way or option would be like TrueNAS does it. Their TrueNAS Mini systems come with a 16GB SSD. TrueNAS itself is installed on that small SSD. The SSD is not really used for anything else, thous should hopefully not fail. And even if fails, it is not a huge problem, because you...

Sure, but one naturally assumes similar behavior than traditional HW Raid. But since this also seems to be true: I think the "problem" is mitigated and I was worried for nothing :)

Thank you for your response! That sounds like a good solution. Still, it can cause problems in edge cases and thus should probably be mentioned. If the VPN itself runs on Proxmox or if the Proxmox host offers no IPMI, it could get a little bit tricky to try to remote advise none IT people how...

Wow, this thread really caught me off guard. So with a default install, mirror will not always prevent us from total failure if a disk dies? I am fine with using the commands provided in the docs to replace a failed drive. But this only works with a system up and running? What if the power...

Ahh so that is different :) I would rather use two systems that don't compete for RAM and because even 11 years later still think this post is very good: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/please-do-not-run-freenas-in-production-as-a-virtual-machine.12484/

Well that sounds even worse to be honest. As I understood it: You mostly need a NAS to store your ISOs. Maybe some VMs on top for some lightweight services. TrueNAS Scale or unraid are way better suited for this in my opinion. Biggest difference between the two is the "real RAID" vs "fake...

Super, vielen Dank! Dann müsste die von mir verlinkte Doku angepasst werden.

Hallo zusammen Hatte eine Proxmox 7 Kiste am laufen mit 64GB und 32GB ARC. Um umzusteigen auf volblocksize 16k habe ich Proxmox neu installiert. Nun scheint zfs_arc_max auf 8GB einstellt zu sein. Wurde das was am default geändert mit Version 8? Im manual steht noch immer noch 50%...
