You're right, when I set Crystal Disk to 32GB it is freezing up the VM again.
Ok, so it sounds like you might be saying I might be able to solve this by going into the BIOS and "re-enable the Disk's write cache" ?
Thanks again for help @PwrBank and @_gabriel
For anyone that finds this forum. I completely reinstalled the Proxmox OS, migrated the Windows Server 2022 VM back to it and started to rerun it and was still having the freezing up issue. Not as...
I moved the original Windows Server 2022 VM to another node on a completely different cluster, and it did not cause the freezing up when doing a crystal disk read/write test. So I am concluding that the proxmox OS must be causing the problem in...
Great ideas PwrBank! Thanks! I should be able to set up a Windows 11 VM fairly fast and see if it has the same problem, that will really tell me where to focus, VM or hardware.
Thanks again!
You can, but I'm going to say you shouldn't. ZFS shouldn't be used with hardware RAID. It wants to control all the drives itself.
If I were you, I'd create another VM for testing and try the same DiskMark test again. Maybe play around with the...
You may be right. The reason I always always set up proxmox using zfs is because then I can use the replicate feature. And the other methods didn't allow replication, or at least that was the case 5 years ago when I was first learning proxmox...
The ZFS pool originally had 5 x WD Blue SSDs:
WDS100T3B0A-00AXR0
I replaced 2 of them with 2 x WD Red SSDs:
WDS100T1R0A
I've googled them and I don't see anything about them having QLC flash memory, but I can't tell for sure, it's too...
Ok, I set the Cache to Default None and rebooted the VM.
Support for the DB program said they don't have this problem with other customers using virtual machines with even slower drives so something must be wrong, he suggested I do a disk...
Thanks _gabriel!
When you say "You can move within guest backup to a dedicated drive." are you saying add another SSD to the server and do a passthru of that drive to the VM? or am I misunderstanding?
Support for the program called me and...
Awesome ideas, thanks _gabriel and PwrBank.
I checked the Windows's Volume scheduled Shadow Copies and the times were 7am and 12pm so it isn't that, but good idea because I hadn't looked there before.
PwrBank, you were right. They don't have...
I am stumped here.
I have a VM that is running windows server 2022. The proxmox server became 100% full about a month ago while doing a local backup. That caused proxmox to become unresponsive and the VM got corrupted and I had to delete the...
