check dmesg. your disk dropped from the host. it may be dead, or you may have cabling issues.

OK, those resources dont need to have any sort of IPTO and can exist as seperate devices on a flat (or routed) network. RDS has native HA capabilities using gateways and brokers- why reinvent the wheel? you can have endnodes in both locations. I feel that in my bones. you know the "right"...

Looking at your dataflow diagram... why are you even going through this exercize? if users in the office only hit hq, and outside users hit the DC, you dont actually need them (or even want them) to be on a unified routing table. But lets dig a big deeper. Are the VMs different from HQ and DC...

The statement wasnt aimed at you specifically. The misconceptions, as you put it, typically stem around generalities- which dont necessarily apply. an 18 wheeler hauls better and more efficiently but only when you have the load for it. if you're just using it to go to the groceries you're...

Not to speak for OP, but I believe he meant external ZIL. which only make sense in specific workloads. Why does this argument keep popping up? yes, enterprise drives TYPICALLY have more endurance then consumer drives. No, "homelab" workloads dont generate the type of load that would stress...

If you'd rather not use it thats fine, but be aware that you really dont want to run PVE on SDcards either; no matter what you do if you intend to use these machines you'd need to dedicate space to the OS.

Since you already paid for datacore, why not just use that? https://docs.datacore.com/FAQ/HVSANBPG/Hyper-converged-Virtual-SAN/Creating-a-cluster.htm

I literally did nothing since this is a production cluster and I didnt want any unintended consequences. I went to try @bbgeek17 suggestion when I noticed the tasks were gone....

For reasons I cant quite understand, both phantom tasks (one "running" for 2 months) disappeared. @bbgeek17 if thats your doing I owe you a beer :D I didnt actually do anything...

For real? two options. NONE of the other options, commercial or community, are production grade (IMO.) 1. call blockbridge. 2. use lvm thick and deal with the 5TB delta. in practice, NO filesystem frees you from snapshot capacity usage. it has to go somewhere.

I was thinking about that, but its making me nervous. If I dont come up with a "safer" solution I will do so.

yeah, I figured that. the problem is that /var/log/pve/tasks keeps tasks striclty for the node its on. since the node in question is dead, this folder is obviously not available :cry:

I have an odd situation. I have a node that died during a backup window. No big whoop, I had sufficient compute space, but now there are 2 backup tasks for the dead node in the task log and I cant figure out how to get rid of them. I imagine that deleting the node from the cluster would clear it...

gotcha. in that case, @bbgeek17 is entirely correct (he usually is.)

Did you actually read that guide? this might be of interest...
