Aalexskysilk replied to the thread ZFS dedup on a Proxmox host in 2026 — has fast dedup changed the recommendation?.If the discussion is strictly on a "worth it" basis, its worth noting by what metric. Ram costs more then storage. Fast dedup is less hungry but thats still ~2G per deduplicated TB- although you could substitute a special device for SOME ram usage.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Snapshot best practices.ceph and zfs are CoW native; snapshots are not "real" in the sense that the data isnt separated- think of snapshots as bookmarks. VMDK isnt, and so snapshots are addon files. qcow2 can exhibit similar performance degradation. In summary-...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread freezing Linux VMs and sporadically connection issues regarding a node.when you say the VM freezes, do you mean it isnt responding to network traffic or local (console) access? if its console access, is it a specific VM or all VMs on the nodes? If its network access, check your raw interfaces for faults. ifconfig...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Advise: shared vm storage using nfs.NFS doesnt care; certain write patterns can benefit. a slog is useful when the following two things are true: - The write pattern is large number of synchronous small IO (eg, backing a database) - The backing store is an order of magnitude...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Should i install proxmox on my 4TB SSD RAID 5 setup ?.true. If you want to buy an 18 wheeler for haul groceries thats your call- it doesnt mean you need an 18 wheeler. match the solution to the problem. Not every usecase benefits. Thats an argument for a newer drive, not for a plp. technology...

Like.
Hi @galffing , I hope you don't mind me saying this, but based on the questions you've asked, it seems like W365 would be the best fit for your business needs. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox -... -

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Should i install proxmox on my 4TB SSD RAID 5 setup ?.words like "terrible" are terrible. they provide no context. You could say "RAIDz1 performs poorly compared to RAID10" or "RAIDz1 provides poor risk management vs RAIDz2" but without knowing the use case and expected performance and fault...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread [SOLVED] How Do I Setup Jellyfin on Proxmox With Only 1 SSD for Storage?.the gold standard for volume partitioning is the same regardless of number of disks: part 1 (optional, default using pve installer) legacy grub part 2 efi part 3 root part 4 data/payload part4 layout and usage will depends on how you partition...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Enterprise iSCSI support in PVE.It has been ready for years. A high-friction CLI/UX workflow is not the same thing as a system being "unusable" or "not production-grade." Thousands of enterprise nodes run multipath iSCSI in production every day—it just requires Linux systems...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox on aarch64 (arm64).Absence of evidence isnt evidence of absence. Searching for evidence after making a claim is backwards. your google searches arent even informative- the toms hardware is breathless marketing without ANY substance. the Unihost article discusses...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox on aarch64 (arm64).While it is possible to install Trixie on Mac hardware, it is dependent on Asahi linux patches. I doubt the pve Kernel would even work. If this is something of specific interest to you, please try it and let us know :) this would be enlightening...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread CEPH Performance.and yet you asked all the right questions anyway, correctly unwinding the "ceph" part from the "storage" part.

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox on aarch64 (arm64).there are very few options for this. and because its all low volume, they are not at all cost or performance competitive with comparable x86. No. and even if it could run, it wouldnt support mac guests, support MLX either directly or indirectly...

Aalexskysilk replied to the thread Proxmox & NVIDIA partnership - what to expect?.PVE isnt very good for/at multitenant applications. Since KVM works natively on these platforms, an operator for such usecase is more likely to just deploy them to a cloud native orchestrator, eg Openstack.
