Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Storage options for a (3) node cluster with local NVMe disks and 25G network..Congratulations on your new environment. Before you can really make rational decisions for storage deployment you really need to consider what you want/need out of the equipment in a holistic manner. 1. What are you deploying on the equipment...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Installing proxmox on UCS C220 M3.for the purposes of this conversation, disk passthrough and jbod is the same thing. and yes, you can and should use it. As for "best way," it really depends on what you want your "nas" to actually do. I am never a fan or running storage that is...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] CephFS over SMB (SMB Module?).thats a smb bridgehead :) although I would use a VM for the purpose instead. and yes, you can mount cephfs inside a vm.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] CephFS over SMB (SMB Module?).the Ceph stack provided by PVE is designed for use in a PVE hypervisor environment; I totally get the desire to comingle cephfs and rbd but in this specific case your choice is comingle and use your own SMB bridgeheads, or deploy a standard ceph...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread enterprise license.I think we're actually on the same page- its the meaning we take from it that is different. "safety" in this context is the continued uninterrupted delivery of service. the SAFEST thing to do in production is LEAVE A WORKING ENVIRONMENT ALONE...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread enterprise license.No. that would be the test repo. see the section IMMEDIATELY BELOW the link you posted. Fair, but if his concern is whether he is licensed to use the software for any purpose the answer is simple and definitive: yes. If he's wondering if he's...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread enterprise license.Right in practice, completely wrong in principle. you have license to use any software in either repo. you dont have ACCESS to the enterprise repo without entitlement. You COULD set up a tracking repo to the enterprise rep just like Centos did...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread enterprise license.I'm curious. is there a statute you can point me to? I'm not UK based but do support clients internationally; this would be of specific interest. the AGPL is quite specific: it is not LEGAL for Proxmox GMBH to require or offer a license...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] My proxmox stopped responding in the browser (web interface)..best advice I can give anyone troubleshooting is learn to search the forum. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cannot-access-web-gui.107376/

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] My proxmox stopped responding in the browser (web interface)..post the output of systemctl -l --no-pager status pveproxy

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ZFS pool and free space allocation.post the output of zfs list -t all all your questions would be answered there.
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread HBA passthough.any time you build an environment with such nested dependencies you're making a unsupportable/difficult to support solution. As a matter of design, your storage layer and your compute layer should not be interdependent. Since you've decided that...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread proxmox (VSphere VMWare to Proxmox migration).This is not a PVE, or even Linux/SLES problem. This is linux troubleshooting 101. You have a hanging task on the 2nd partition (presumably root) which gives you two vectors of troubleshooting- 1. host bus- change the host bus for your root...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Feedback: lack of host backup has me reconsidering use of Proxmox.I think you have a misconception of what an appliance is (or rather, what seperates an appliance from a managed software stack.) an appliance doesnt NEED backing up. its an appliance. restoration of a failed appliance is just redeploying it. In...

Aalexskysilk reacted to portedaix's post in the thread [SOLVED] Backup speed regression: 2h20m → 8h39m after PVE 8→9 / QEMU 9.2→10.1 / Ceph 18→19 upgrade with
Like.
Hi, That was a beginner mistake. Real root cause (found 2026-05-06): discard=on was missing from scsi1 in the QEMU config. For over a year, every ext4 TRIM was silently dropped by QEMU and never propagated down to Ceph → 2.7 TiB of orphaned RBD... -
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread iscsi direct luns with multipath.fiber channel multipathing works effectively identically to iscsi; once the devices are captured by multipathd they'll just show up in /dev/mapper and you can use them as any other mapper device- so you can put a vg on it or map is as a drive...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Is there a way (or a guide) to build Proxmox without just installing Proxmox?.Linux admins have built a "Proxmox" for years before PVE became a thing. the reason we use PVE and not our homegrown solutions is because they put everything you need together for you. Its not that you COULDNT do it yourself- it would just take...
-
Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Use Disk PassThrough or Raid-0 for PVE with Ceph (Testsystem).This is a major point. using ceph on this sort of POC will not teach you how to actually use ceph in production since you wont be able to actually put the type of load on it that would be meaningful. Is your intention to use this knowledge to put...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread cross-cluster migrate with ISO on cephfs.short answer: just create a script to detach iso-migrate-attach iso. longer answer- dont keep iso's mapped without purpose.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread VMware Migration - Scenario & Seeking Advice.its iscsi, sas, or fc. doesnt change the process meaningfully.
