    "holding" backup and snapshots for a while

    Greetings I have a cluster of servers which are regularly doing backups and snapshots. During some production-critical periods, I need to "hold" such traffic/load which could impact the performances. What do you think would be the proper way to do that? Thanks in advance Regards

    [closed] Masquerading in Proxmox 7

    Greetings I'm configuring a new Proxmox host which unfortunatly will have to run on a single IP, so I need masquerading for incoming connections. I used to do that with a custom iptables script, but I wonder if I can do it directly with the Proxmox firewall GUI? Thanks in advance Regards

    /etc/pve distributed filesystem

    Greetings If my understanding is correct, /etc/pve is a fuse-based distributed filesystem. What is the software behind it? is it possible to use this software for other needs? (in my case, replication of Nginx configuration files between several hosts). I mean, not using /etc/pve but using the...

    ZFS volume naming (for replication)

    Greetings I have a cluster where the nodes are on ZFS. I noticed that the target of a replication job must have the same ZFS configuration as the source. Also I noticed that I can "alias" a zfs volume in /etc/pve/storage.cfg, ie specify to which actual zfs volume a "proxmox zfs name" correspond...

    Manually initiating zfs replication?

    Greetings I have Proxmox 6.3 zfs-based cluster. Last week I added a new node and set a few replication from the old nodes to this new node. It works ok for the small nodes (a few gigs), but for a moderate node it seems to loop: yesterday, the destination zvol was 20G, today it's only 16G. The...

    (zfs) VM disk flexible as CT disk?

    Greetings My cluster has many CT based on ZFS and I'm used to "grow" CT disks from the Proxmox GUI (I understand "grow" as "change size capping"). I recently had to grow a VM disk and realized that the VM has internally formatted it as LVM, so resizing is not automatic. Is there a way to have a...
