Hi, Have a windows guest 2019 server. Controller: Virtio scsi single hard drives: scsi discard=on io thread on SSD emulation on Yet, windows disk optimization continues to say "needs optimization (31% space effenciency) after trimming. Wondering what's up with that? And if there's anything I...

I did this through several upgrades and in fact run it on all drives upon "any" upgrades. Worked so far for me. However, I've just begun wiping the systems and reinstalling for the first time in years as there were some other things to do as well...

:) Am doing so as we speak. Looking for Enterprise used drives seems somewhat like running a gauntlet. I see some intel dc p4510, but even though they says sas/ssd, I suspect the old machine may not boot from them?

Great! Been exploring such an option after I wrote this , but am now WAY glad I sought some ideas here. Looks like I'll be using one of the pcie X8 slots which I'll make sure is wired for that. I get that sas ssd may be the way to go, but wasn't aware of sas/ssd. Sounds like fast and good! :)...

Have 3 old Dell T7500 I'm using for servers. Each with at least 94gig of ecc ram with dual cpu. Am fine with the cpu's and ram. But the machines are sata/sas II not sata 3. They also have 3 pcie 2 slots if that's helpful to know. Using ZFS raid 10. Looking for advise on upgrading the old...

There must be something not in the docs for us old legacy guys with no 512 partition. Just went thru the same adventure I posted in this thread.. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-boot-tool-resize-or-go-back-to-grub.139682/ I just now ran the same command to get the system back...

Proxmox 7.4-3 legacy system It appears at some time I got the proxmox boot tool installed.. (haven't rebooted the server in a long long time) When rebooted today, got the "proxmox grub unknown filesystem" at boot. Got it running now with a 6.2 install version of rescue mode. yeah! However...

Curious if any of you were ever able to resolve this. Running version 6.4-13

The entry, if in /etc/crontab must be told who to run as. @reboot root mount -L backup /mnt/backup

Hmm, interesting, 2 questions. Do you ever actually use the ability to disable from the GUI? And,,, how to disable and enable from the command line..

Oh, and the command the customer runs is: switchdrives Note, it needs "dialog" installed apt-get install dialog In that bash script is this: #!/bin/bash getscript() { pgrep -lf ".[ /]$1( |\$)" } mailto=root drivename=backup_offsite drivepath=/mnt/$drivename directory=dump mname="Change...

I suggest you NOT mount the backup drive in fstab. What I settled on is mounting by drive label. Here's what I do to prep a drive and give it a drive label. ######### Prep backup drives Note: this will wipe the drive. gdisk /dev/sd? d n defaults a few times w # format it to ext4 mkfs -t...

I've one machine that has been upgraded through time.. I have no local-zfs in my storage and df does not show an rpool/data directory. Is there a way to create it so I can have a "local-zfs" option in storage?

Just wanted to add to this thread a quick note. I use ufw on proxmox, if you change networks, check your ufw rules. Or other firewall rules.. I'd forgotten all about it.
