I wont copy anything. The folder will stay in the same place, in cepfs, and i would just mount it to another ct\vm

So if i have a folder, that has backups from another pbs instance, i cannot just used in a new pbs instance ? I mean, cant i just point the second instance to the same directory ?

Hmm. I dont think this would be a problem. So the datastore would be in a directory in cephfs, so it would be available on the other nodes as well. So in the event of a complete failure of the node running pbs, i could install it on another node, point it to the same data store, and i could use...

Yes, i saw that, i also understand that its not recommended. But on this point. Is the recommendation related to the fact the if the node fails you cand access the backup ? Or some other problems ? Like package conflicts, etc ?

I would like to use in a vm in order to use proxmox backup server.

The plan was to use PBS as a container or vm, in inside it i would have access to all the backups (via ceph). I would then use the tape device to write backup to it.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, im aware that i could add another sas controller, and pass that to the VM. Im trying to see if there is a alternative solution to this. So yes, im using debian as its a proxmox host. I dont actually know what options i have on debian in order to use this tape drive...

So i have a tape drive, connected to LSI sas controller. The controller has 4 ports. 2 of them are used for some external enclosure, and 2 of them for this tape drive. So what i need to do is somehow pass the tape drive to a VM. I cannot pass the whole pci device because of the external...

Not yet. I mean we have done it directly in ceph (so no proxmox). Maybe in the future this will also be managed from proxmox.

No i did not use zfs at all. And the device the error is indeed used, but its a ceph cluster.

So that cmd returns: root@int2:~# zpool status -v no pools available And i only have these drives: I did not use zfs on this server. By the way. Im talking about proxmox, not PBS (i just saw i posted in the PBS section).

So a have a test cluster, with 3 nodes. I keep receiving this error from one node: ZFS has detected that a device was removed. impact: Fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised. eid: 1 class: statechange state: UNAVAIL host: int2 time: 2023-08-07 19:53:42+0300 vpath...

So think its the second partition. But this is what i get when running proxmox-boot-tool status: Re-executing '/usr/sbin/proxmox-boot-tool' in new private mount namespace.. System currently booted with legacy bios 9AD2-D507 is configured with: uefi (versions: 5.3.18-3-pve, 5.4.106-1-pve...

So i used detach. zpool detach rpool ata-ST9500530NS_9SP25SRN This removed it from the pool, and then wiped sdw. I then did this: sgdisk /dev/sdv -R /dev/sdw zgdisk -G /dev/sdw zpool replace -f rpool ata-ST9500530NS_9SP264V3-part3 ata-ST9500530NS_9SP25SRN-part3 After it replaced the disk, are...

So i have 2 drives in a ZFS pool. /dev/sdv is failing and i want to place it. I dont remember when i made this, but the thing was i was expecting the os to boot if one of the drives was missing. I was expecting that if sdv is missing, the os will boot from sdw. But it doesnt have a boot...
