    alexskysilk replied to the thread Custom Auto install proxmox with zfs and offline packages.
    I feel so inadequate.... for years, I just run a postinstall script that sits on a nfs mount. yes, I could have done more automation but in the end it seemed the better part of valor to just type mount followed by /path/to/mount/postinstall.sh...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Installing multipath-tools-boot for iSCSI?.
    This package is necessary to prevent race condition issues at boot; what could happen without it is that VGs get trapped ahead of multipath by the operating system. If you dont have any entries in fstab for your iscsi mounts you dont need it...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox - best practice to handle (USB) drives.
    As long as your PVE box sees the drives (eg, /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) you can do whatever you want insofar as deployment. You can make them individual VGs, or Single VG on both, or as a zpool, btrfs mirror, or passthrough to guest if you really...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Recover broken Ceph config possible?.
    well since the cluster is still up, not all is lost (or at least there is still a chance of recovery.) start with logging into a node containing a working monitor: ceph config dump | tee -a /etc/pve/ceph.conf.rebuild alternatively, if it doesnt...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Hardware interface packages best practices.
    I'd say that the question is too broad for a reasonable answer; most "software" doesnt care about direct access to hardware. application that need DO need access (eg, GPU) have these methods to accomplish: 1. for exclusive access, a gpu can be...

    the syntax is qm disk import <vmid> <source> <storage> [OPTIONS] in your case, source would be /path/to/my/recovered.raw

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Mellanox ConnectX-3 & Proxmox 9.1.
    1. try proxmox-kernel 2. says who? while the DRIVERS arent provided in the package, mst should work just fine. if it doesnt, you can always uninstall :) 3. that is one way; another would be to make a persistent live usb so you dont have to mess...

    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.

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Shared Remote ZFS Storage.
    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...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread W11 Pro license and VM migration.
    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...

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