That's understandable. Some of my own websites get torn to shreds for things like that too. I just wasn't sure if a database was angry or something like that, and wasn't sure how to better raise a flag about it. Sorry you folks have to deal with that :(

I can't find a better place to put this, but why are the forums so painfully slow? I don't know when this started, but traversing the forum, searching for stuff, posting a thread or comment, all of it is painfully slow. What's up with that?

I can't find current insights into how PVE handles hot-swapping NVMe and related PCIe storage devices during a system's live operations. I was able to find some older threads mentioning IOMMU and other similar problems when trying to remove/install an NVMe device while a PVE node is online, but...

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 is where your permanent storage is kept. Windows...

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 file-on-disk swap method instead. Consider the...

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 enough swap is used, >10%), I also have periodic swap...

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 literally a section titled "Example numbers...

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 in the case of a PVE node, the fact is that all...

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 this is as long as a piece of string, but my...

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 extremely long string of text and the problematic...

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 these files?". To me, I don't see an upside to...

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 fan of PBS adding even more logging capabilities...

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 56gig either Ifiniband or IB in ETH mode. Anyways...

from ISO for me
