Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Which Machine Would You Use.I see. you dont really need to reflash your R700; just use it as hardware raid and put btrfs on top. that way you can use inline compression- perfectly adequate for non production/backup storage.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread autopve feature set expansion discussion.oookkkk..... I still have no idea what it does beyond what you already can do with an answerfile.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread autopve feature set expansion discussion.Whats autopve? How often do you install PVE? can describe a problem/issue you are trying to solve without discussions of toolset? I dont think I can answer as your feature description is too vague. pve is open source. its your lane if you want...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Which Machine Would You Use.It can. its just a generic LSI Raid controller- but you lose all integrated firmware control (which is probably ok for zfs use, just sayin.) OP- what I didnt see in your post is WHY. what is the painpoint you are trying to solve, or is this just...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE with Ceph having PG warning after removing 3x OSD and rebuilt 3x OSD.Have you tried looking at the documentation? https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-pg/

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox VE with Ceph having PG warning after removing 3x OSD and rebuilt 3x OSD.You will lose pg coherency on some pgs, and lose entire pgs for others. if you no longer have at LEAST one OSD that contained a shard for that pg, you will need to destroy that pg manually.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company.Proxmox uses Generic ceph. there is no "other" version. "copy redundancy" # availability. there is a limit to how much time I want to spend on this subject. I'd suggest you read and understand what ceph is, how it works, and why the limitations...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Simplest Method to Share Flash Drive Contents attached to Proxmox.The simplest way to accomplish what you're after is to install samba on pve, like so apt install samba you can then defined /mnt/pve/recovery (or whatever your mountpoint is) as a smb share, and access it on your windows machine using...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company.Storage isnt just about keeping your files. its about availability. A 3 host ceph cluster has no resilience to speak of. What happens when your cluster shuts off write access in the middle of the day and you dont know how to fix it? is there...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Why ZFS Pool so slow VS raid hw ?.Yes. this isn't news or a mystery. ZFS has many OTHER advantages over lvm on block. performance is only one factor; if the zfs subsystem is providing SUFFICIENT performance for your application it is by far preferrable. You might want to...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company.ceph with 3 nodes is not production quality, and should not be deployed outside a lab environment.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ZFS quite slow on 10Gb/s uas-devices.yes. your USB enclosure doesnt do what you think it does. Just because the marketing says its "USB 3.2 10gbit blah blah blah" doesnt mean that your host connection can, that the cable can, that the bridge chip can, nor the sata multiplexer...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet.If the payload is on another disk (or raid volume) then you dont need to do anything. simply copy all your vmid.conf files and reinstall pve. once its installed, simply import your existing data stores and put the vmid.conf files back.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet.ok, so you have two options. first, you dont need a working python environment to edit /etc/network/interfaces and insert a stanza for vmbr0 but in your case, lets think through what you're actually able to accomplish. the most important...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Need to backup broken Proxmox without ethernet.Then create it. there is no requirement for the bridge to have an uplink.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company.This, while true, is the wrong perspective. what is the CONSEQUENCE of downtime? put a cost on that, and you have an economic baseline. Its one thing if your massive ecommerce platform is out. its another if you cant access your emails for a...

Like.
Your one must give more information. How many VMs, how much RAM, need high speed storage, how much storage space, how many user aso.? -
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Repair ZFS pool.there are a few things you should be aware of: using /dev/nvme* for zpool vdev markers is dangerous, since that nomenclature is POSITIONAL (which means, its specific to the slot you used, not the drive.) use WWNs instead. to do that, simply...

AHi @Nathan Stratton and all, You need clear guidance here: do not do that unless you have a very compelling reason to. a) Your hardware is discontinued and past the end of service, which significantly increases the likelihood of component...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox with 48 nodes.The reason you cant find the answer is because its not something you can answer in a vaccum. as I alluded to above, it depends on just how dependable the network is, and how spammy/sensitive the service using it is. "conventional wisdom" has...
