Thank you . I dont want to force qcow2, just want to make sure I am not needlessly moving empty bits from drives that are mostly empty (backups, migrations, etc) .

start with basics a) what are you trying to achieve? b) what equipment you have on hand (1 PC, 2 PCs, etc) c) what is your budget (if any) "NAS" is good for what it is supposed to do - low power consumption, low processing power device to hold and host storage. nothing more. you can buy...

VM with disk on shared storage trying to move it back to local storage within the cluster Move disk to zfs pool, only option is 'raw' - anything I am missing? Thank you

I think my problem is that my sources are 'dynamic disks' and tools I use dont know what to do with them and see them as 1TB drives.. Will be doing some more reading of what to do with it..

Greetings, I want to bring my first VM as P2V of Windows 10 to Proxmox. Within Proxmox I have a cluster of 3 nodes where on each I have the following storage - 1 TB local-lvm , local, and 1TB zfs that i hoped to use for VM storage. My disk images are coming from NAS via NFS share. My source...

Greetings, About a year ago my interest in Proxmox lead to me to post few initial questions outlined in (previous post) where I was asking how to think about installation, Ceph needs. I now have 3 nodes of HP business computers (HP S01-pf1013W) that were picked up (very ) cheap new from local...

Thank you Wolfgang, Is the issue that CPUs are too old/incompatible to allow online failover? or is the issue that there are only two nodes (you we need odd number of them more than 2 for quorum)? the real problem I am trying to solve - if I create VM on Ryzen 1700 node, take backups of it...

I have two pieces of spare hardware that I am considering to use for Proxmox cluster. intel i7-3770, 32 GB RAM AMD 1700, 64 GB RAM if I create the VM that does not use custom CPU extensions, would VM be able to move between the nodes? Any recommendations ? - I read about disabling C6 state...

Thank you sir, appreciate the response. I am reading the documentation now and starting to get cold feet regarding the whole redundancy project. a. it looks like the desired older hardware I was hoping to use (recycled business desktops with quad core i5-6500 intel CPU ) would not support...

Am I asking wrong questions ? Any other hints?

Greetings, I currently run a home environment containing domain controller (win 2016 server over lenovo S510 hardware) with two VMs using Hyper-V ( VM A for Pi-hole, VM B for Unifi controller, both on Debian linux as OS, no GUI) . I also have a NAS (QNAP 332X) with SFP+ connected to it from...
