    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    -LOL- Sorry Don, I meant no offence. I spent a month (if not two?) trying different hypervisors, and this one looked like the best option, but I kept running into knowledge walls. (not so much here, elsewhere I mean, and on other linux/kvm topics) "Yeah, you can do that, I do it, I wrote some...

    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    Sorry, I'm not going to be much help. I overwrote proxmox with the free Hyper-V 2019 server from Microsoft and haven't looked back. Maybe someone else here can finish this thought? Too much "secret sauce" at work here. :)

    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    ok, so, multiple points in time through whatever process (whether CLI by hand or ProxMox itself) is workable on either, just one easier than the other. ADD: Because yes, we talked about how he has had clients infested, where he then takes a clone, or has scheduled transmissions of ZFS snapshots...

    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    Oh, and I already have raid and such in place, seaparately... so performance through ZFS vs. LVM-thin, is the question here. And therefore for that matter - if my boot drive will be holding VMs as well (900gb SSD), should I have picked ZFS as the default file system at install time too? (I can...

    LVM-thin vs. ZFS - for safety and snapshotting

    Hi all, Hope you can fogive the newb question, but I'd like a couple of opinions. Been at this 30+ years, but new to the linux vm world, and admittedly to "intense linux". Usually have paid the bills in the windows world, but am expanding my horizons! :-) A have a good friend, who swears by...

    How to Test Proxmox Email Notifications?

    I am as well. The shell commands successfully send me a test email, but, is there anything we can "break" to trigger a system event worthy of an email? :) (it's one of the out of the box cool things of Proxmox, so now two months in, I just want to know it's working) or, can we configure system...
