    alexskysilk replied to the thread Site to Site VM replication.
    Site to Site replication can be done to some extent with PDM. third party derived solutions also exist (Veeam, Pegaprox) as well as creative use of PBS. ZFS replication can be used if the sites are single node.

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Shared Remote ZFS Storage.
    Ah. this is a sore point for me. the ONUS of decisionmaking is on the purchaser. If the purchaser doesn't understand what he is buying (be it for any reason short of outright fraud) then the fault lies there too; NO technology is without edge...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread CephFS "Block Size"?.
    The default stripe_unit size for ceph is 4M, but you may not want to raise that (and maybe even shrink it instead.) the stripe size is a maximum "file chunk" limit for a cephfs object (file). if a file is larger than the stripe size, the next...

    Why you have external help? When External Audit comes(Grant Thornton,KPMG etc etc) first they ask you is "what if you get hit by a bus", who will support that and that. That is why you need to have external maintenance contracts.

    I think I understand your point, but I dont subscribe to the viewpoint that "if I can do it myself there is no justification for someone else to get paid." There is nothing wrong, in my view, for a Nexenta or truenas to use ZFS internally; zfs...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Shared Remote ZFS Storage.
    I am really curious about this. Can you point to an "it" a specific vendor does that is not a good idea in your view? more pointedly- what would be an example of "shady stuff?" Interesting. I wasnt even aware that such solutions exist. would you...

    So... you're both kinda right and kinda wrong. It depends on the TYPE of license and how you bought it. RETAIL licenses are not tied to an underlying Windows server license, and therefore can be moved with the VM. OEM licenses ARE tied to an...

    https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/jellyfin-lxc-with-nvidia-gpu-transcoding-and-network-storage.138873/ that should get you the rest of the way, and applies to other containers as well.

    Its likely that your particular configuration escaped testing. like others noted, its not really a sane configuration.

    Well I got nothing. you should submit a bug report (https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues)

    a backup isnt a backup if it depends on the primary for function.

    Since mst 4.22 seems to be broken on 6.17, you have a few alternatives: 1. install an older kernel. 6.14 and 6.11 are both available. 6.8 is too I think. 2. use a newer version of mst. The most current version is 4.34.1-10 3. boot from a...

    I reread the op and for the life of me I dont understand what you're asking. Actual free space is exactly what you think it is, but its not USABLE. Usable free space depends on the makeup of your data, since you have a special device that...

    I dont think that note is as wide in scope as the working seem to suggest. Public and Private (cluster) traffic dont need routability to each other to function, so you're safe on that front. Reading up further, monitors can only have one pinned...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox - crash disc.
    if the original data was a zvol, you can just append .raw to the file. then you can use qemu-img to import the data to your new destination.

    ceph allows multiple public networks. just make sure your monitors exist on whatever public network(s) you define. see https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/rados/configuration/network-config-ref/

    Some things to consider: 1. Connectx3 cards were often shipped as VPI cards. what that means is that each port can operated as ethernet or IB. When set to auto mode (default) they will default to IB when no link is detected at boot. You can and...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread input/output error.
    easy way to determine whats going on. OP please post the content of your vmid.conf for your ubuntu vm. If you ARE passing the drives to your VM, this behavior is consistent. mdadm is picking up the drive at pve boot, and then cutting them off...
