    HowTo: Proxmox VE 7 With Software RAID-1

    By default mdraid scans all disks and partitions for MD superblocks (metadata) on boot. It then checks for a match of the array name or UUID (depending on your config in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf) of the RAID (not the disk UUID!). Therefore, it does not matter what device name the disk receives...

    HowTo: Proxmox VE 7 With Software RAID-1

    Introduction The operating system of our servers is always running on a RAID-1 (either hardware or software RAID) for redundancy reasons. Since Proxmox VE 7 does not offer out-of-the-box support for mdraid (there is support for ZFS RAID-1, though), I had to come up with a solution to migrate...

    Reclaim free space in CephFS

    Hey Alwin Thanks for your reply. Sorry for not being more specific in my initial post. We are only keeping x days of backups and the total capacity needed for those backups is somewhere around 1 TB - and remains more or less constant. When I add a 100 GB file and remove it again, `du` shows...

    Reclaim free space in CephFS

    Hey guys We are using ceph-fuse to mount a CephFS volume for Proxmox backups at `/srv/proxmox/backup/`. Recently, I noticed that the backup volume kept running out of free space and therefore the backup jobs were failing (we had a Ceph quota of 2 TB in place on the pool for safety reasons)...
