    RAID-1 ZFS in Proxmox with Crucial MX500 (2TB) drives give 500iops - terrible

    Could you provide me the links to this information? If their "power loss immunity" functionality is essentially a lie i'd like to know more details about that as i have a few of these drives and am/was planning to buy a few more.

    RAID-1 ZFS in Proxmox with Crucial MX500 (2TB) drives give 500iops - terrible

    Yeah, it's not the same thing but looking into it I don't see any downsides to having it. I get concerned about SSD's with a DRAM cache although that's a bit off topic so perhaps needs it's own thread.

    RAID-1 ZFS in Proxmox with Crucial MX500 (2TB) drives give 500iops - terrible

    Crucial MX500's have their own PLP implementation that doesn't use capacitors, I'm not sure i'd trust it 100% and would rather have a pair of data centre NVME's to hold writes and flush to SSD in the background but it's better then having nothing.

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    Glad you got it all working :) Documentation would be great as i'd like to learn more about dropbear and how you set everything up. I also thought about putting the key for the rpool/data dataset on the root pool so i didn't need to enter two passwords but in my case I didn't want any keys for...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    I haven't tried this yet with dropbear so i'm not sure if this will help you with the first problem you're having. When i setup the encrypted rpool/data i had to create the following systemd service before proxmox would prompt me to unlock rpool/data. Create the file...

    TPM module for Proxmox host

    Hello Not sure if this is the best place to post this and I've been learning more about it but I'm still unsure. A Proxmox server I'm building has a header for a TPM module, if I install one will Proxmox secure the bootloader automatically when I install Proxmox or is this something i need to...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    Your solution worked perfectly, I'm prompted for the password twice at boot but honestly I'm fine with that. I created the .service file and enabled it which worked a treat. The quota command is also really helpful as i'm running on SSD's and would like to leave a certain % of space free on the...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    So i think the step i was previously struggling with was the rpool/data, it was much easier to destroy it and re-create it. However i'm not sure if i've made another mistake but it seems like proxmox doesn't unlock rpool/data when i type my password in at boot, only rpool/ROOT. When creating a...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    So after having some time to look into things some more the flaw with the method I used above is that only the root partition for the proxmox install is encrypted. The VM data is still not encrypted and thus isn't protected at rest, when running the following command I get this output...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    I have heard of dropbear, will be good to try it out as typing in the passwords is a pain and my BMC IPMI also won't let me paste the password either. This server is just a test at the moment so it's not using a strong password and will be wiped clean before being deployed.

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    Thanks for the heads up, In my particular use case clustering and migrations won't be too much of an issue. I did find this guide and followed the instructions after doing a fresh install of proxmox v7.4 and selecting raid-z3 during the install process...

    Full Disk Encryption with ZFS using Proxmox installer

    Hello I've just been checking out the latest release of Proxmox and seen the options for installing with ZFS which is brilliant to see. I'm wondering if there's a way to adjust the parameters the Proxmox installer is using when choosing to install using ZFS so i can pass in the options for...
