    Swap always exists on disk in some way. A VM's disk storage is literally on a disk somewhere, whether it's a NAS, SAN, Ceph cluster, or even local LVM. All of that storage is backed by SSD, HDD, NVMe, or some sort of physical medium, because that...

    In my experience I have found disk (partition?) based swapping to be less than ideal. I don't mean in a performance perspective, more a systems administration perspective. I've generally converted all my systems that were partition/disk to...

    In my exhaustive testing over the decades, both Windows and Linux does not reliably swap _out_ data back into RAM. This is one of the important details why I not only monitor for any usage of swap at all on anything I care about (and alert if...

    The article, as well as the points made in this thread, clearly spell out the performance and hardware wear costs to using swap day to day. I don't comprehend how exactly this is missed when the article very easily spells this out. There's...

    People remember things through repetition, and referencing earlier aspects of the same article are done for the sake of explanation. And yes I know ZRAM was mentioned, that does not invalidate what I speak to, nor what the article outlines.

    There are lots of reasons you don't want to use swap day to day, and that it should be used as a last-resort available resource. I actually wrote an article on the matter: https://it.lanified.com/Articles/Youre-Using-Swap-Memory-Incorrectly But...

    BloodyIron replied to the thread PBS Task history creating "bad" files at times.
    I had to interact with the files for auditing and forensic purposes. Yes, not often, but that's generally the point of those files, for humans to retrieve/interact with when warranted. I can appreciate how long it takes to make a change like...

    Yeah I'm going to straight up disagree here. 1. If you think "UPID:redacted:000289CB:3BEF2DE3:000003B1:64B24022:backup:Redacted/x3act-182:root@pam:" is "better" human readability, you need to revisit how you think humans read text. That's an...

    good point !

    BloodyIron replied to the thread PBS Task history creating "bad" files at times.
    In my interpretation of the question "why is PBS using these characters" (paraphrase) it's less that Linux "can" do this, and more about "what is the actual benefit of using these characters vs not using them at all when PBS makes/interacts with...

    To add here a little hint: If the LXC has moved the node, the tasks made, are only save on the node where it was running at the time.

    BloodyIron replied to the thread [SOLVED] Task log retention.
    PBS adding additional logging capabilities is neat, I didn't realise that! Thanks for adding that! That being said, I do think some aspects of logging consistency, length, etc, could/should be improved without relying on PBS. HOWEVER I am also a...

    BloodyIron posted the thread PVE v9.1 question, fabrics can see resources + Infiniband??? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.
    So I just read the v9.1 release notes, and I saw "Fabrics are now part of the resource tree and report routes, neighbors, and interfaces" in the SDN section. Now, I'm currently working on an infra overhaul project going from 1gig ethernet to...
