Aalexskysilk replied to the thread CEPH on multipathed devices - override default behaviour.Its not. if you really insist on using this hardware- make all disks passthrough (or single drive raid0, although that can still have issues when mapped as OSDs) and connect each storage device DIRECTLY to a SINGLE HOST. there's no point or...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Dutch Proxmox Day 2025 - Free Proxmox Community Event.hmm. I'm due for a Eurotrip. maybe I can swing it if they'll still let me in with an American passport ;)

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Migration in failed situation without HA ?.umm... I dont understand your network. why do you need cascading routers? EITHER your WRT or Opnsense can and should manage your entire network. It could work, but this describes a proxmox cluster which I thought you wanted to avoid. Seriously...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Migration in failed situation without HA ?.Yes. But you want the opposite- you WANT HA whether you deploy a cluster or not. You can (and probably should) be thinking of clustering your ROUTERS since thats the only thing you seem to want for high availability anyway; and yes, that can be...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Migration in failed situation without HA ?.Almost never a good way to go. Your router should be independent of everything unless you are sophisticated enough to set up your own vrrp pair. in a home environment... the standalone router will be more dependable ;) If you mean automatically-...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox with Second Hand Enterprise SSDs.device age isnt relative to moving parts (at least not exclusively.) nand have known limits in their behavior; even if they havent exceeded their TBW limits doesnt mean you dont keep pulling the trigger on the proverbial russian roulette gun the...

Aalexskysilk reacted to LnxBil's post in the thread Out of curiosity: Why is virtual disk compacting not possible like in hyper-v? with
Like.
This can be done in PVE too and depending on the storage backend (e.g. ZFS and to less optimized extend CEPH, LVM-thin), you don't need the Optimize-VHD run, just fstrim and everything else is done automatically. -
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox with Second Hand Enterprise SSDs.sdn looks fine; sdm and sdj have >55000 poh... I'd keep backups.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Out of curiosity: Why is virtual disk compacting not possible like in hyper-v?.oh you mean reducing logical size? thats ALWAYS a fraught prospect. having this function integrated into vhdx is nice although I'm not certain it would work for any guest filesystem other then ntfs (not an expert in this;) in any case there is...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Setting up a 4TB Erasure Coded CephFS for Multiple Applications.this is somewhat akin to saying "I want to move a ton of sand but I want to do it with a bicycle." Your rational options for what you want given your proscribed limitations is either doing a replication group (with all admonitions about poor...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Setting up a 4TB Erasure Coded CephFS for Multiple Applications.No, Actually, let me restate. HELL no. and if you need to understand why not, search for @UdoB's post on ceph. If I were you, I'd put the three disks in one of my nodes, add one more and make a zpool striped mirror.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ESXI to PROXMOX.I THINK there's a zfs-over-iscsi plugin for truenas. search the forums for more detail.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread PROXMOX and TRUENAS on bare metal.Honestly, other then "likes" and "dislikes" I'm not sure you have a problem to fix. sounds like you already have everything you need set up- whats wrong with your current setup? just add your "big new node" to the cluster and call it a day. you...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ESXI to PROXMOX.yes. PBS does not depend on storage snapshots.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [TUTORIAL] FabU: can I use Ceph in a _very_ small cluster?.So here is the thing about that. the algorithm will distribute pg's best it can according to the rules, but the SIZE of the pgs is a function of the pool total pg count. the larger then pgs, the more difficult it is to shoehorn them evenly. You...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ESXI to PROXMOX.so, yeah, no snapshots :( Search the forums, there are many discussions on this subject as it is kind of a sore spot for many trying to replace esxi on their existing iscsi san type products.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ESXI to PROXMOX.If thats even an option. what is the back end?
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ESXI to PROXMOX.snapshots are a function of the underlying disk technology. I'm guessing Datastore_Iscsi is, well, iscsi. There is a way to get snapshot support for iscsi targets in PVE but it requires specific configuration and specific iscsi back ends that...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [TUTORIAL] FabU: can I use Ceph in a _very_ small cluster?.as a consequence of a different thread I need to caveat this. The above is only true IF each node has the SAME OSD CAPACITY, and the pool rule is replication:3. ACTUAL pool capacity would be 3x capacity of the node with the smallest capacity in...
