    IsThisThingOn reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS? with Like Like.
    If you want the NFS storage just for migration it's fine, the procedure for vmware to ProxmoxVE is described in wiki: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migrate_to_Proxmox_VE#Attach_Disk_&_Move_Disk_(minimal_downtime) It should be no problem to adapt...

    For migration between Proxmox servers or clusters you could use the qm/pct remote-migrate commands or the Proxmox datacenter Manager.

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?.
    Since we have no idea about your use case, it is hard to tell. I would seriously reconsider if you actually need shared storage. Because IMHO in most cases it is not worth the downsides. If migration does not have to be real time, you can...

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?.
    This is just my opinion: You should use RAW on top of ZFS. All local, no network shenanigans. You should not use (and I don't think it is even possible) use RAW over NFS, where the NFS is on top of ZFS. You should not use RAW over iSCSI, where...

    IsThisThingOn posted the thread [TUTORIAL] Migrate / Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.
    Yesterday I wasted way too much hours migrating some VMs from Windows 10 to Windows 11, since I ran into some obscure problems. Maybe this helps someone else, because I could not find good information on my specific problems in the forums nor on...

    IsThisThingOn reacted to UdoB's post in the thread Best GUI firewall for Proxmox home lab use with Like Like.
    Probably yes! My choice would be OPNsense nevertheless. It just has all the bells and whistles one might want. And you are not forced to enable/use them all at once - but they are available when you realize you want some new features next year...

    Another vote for OPNsense and I find using the adguard plugin (OPNsense community plugin) an excellent adblocker as well way to stop or limit teens from sites and other social media I might want to limit. Great for monitoring as well. Better than...

    IsThisThingOn reacted to chrcoluk's post in the thread One zfs pool slows down all other zfs pools with Like Like.
    What is the outcome of 'zpool status' please, there is detail lacking here. Do all the pools have their own independent disks?

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread PROXMOX Backup - By VPN.
    I simply base that on the number of lines of code. At least openvpn is more insecure, simply because it is a bloated beast. But since we are hopefully working with 2FA, API tokens and we only allow connections from the static /56 or /48 prefix...

    IsThisThingOn reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread PROXMOX Backup - By VPN with Like Like.
    PBS doesn't work with ssh though but with https (via Port 8007), ssh is only needed for administration on the command line. And imho it's a wide stretch to assume that wireguard or openvpn are more insecure than ssh, imho the security of...

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread PROXMOX Backup - By VPN.
    Just a heads up, not sure if this applies to you too. Today I setup a remote PBS and forgot to open up the new IPv6 WAN rule on the remote firewall. Instead of a "could not connect to remote" or something like that error, I got a "permission...

    IsThisThingOn reacted to sterzy's post in the thread [SOLVED] Does PBS make use of atime? with Like Like.
    Proxmox Backup Server needs at least relatime for the garbage collection to work correctly (see [1]). So yes, the atime property is needed, but for performance reasons only relatime is used (not standard atime). From man 7 zfsprops: [1]...

    IsThisThingOn posted the thread Why is 128k used for added ZFS storage? in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.
    I could be very wrong, but this is how I understand file size / record size / compression in PBS: - Backups on the host are done in 4MB chunks. - With compression enabled by default, ZSTD might compress them a little bit. - With compression...

    IsThisThingOn posted the thread [SOLVED] Does PBS make use of atime? in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.
    Does PBS actually make use of atime? Or is it just inherited because of ZFS upstream? TrueNAS disables atime by default for performance reasons.

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread QCOW2 on ZFS, but over NFS?.
    That makes it even worse by introducing another abstraction layer. No. Why should that be the case? So you want to move of the storage from PVE to a ZFS box and access it over NFS? So then the no copy on write happens on your PVE host but you...

    Nutzt du kein LVM? Ansonsten funktioniert vielleicht eine offline Methode: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resize_disks#Online_for_Linux_Guests

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread Sizing calculator.
    Based on your questions asked, and not even describing a clear performance goal, I would also recommend you a partner. Or you get a system that is on the save side, meaning having at least the RAM amount you have know, CPU performance you have...

    IsThisThingOn replied to the thread Sizing calculator.
    That is a long outdated and not very good to begin with rule. Just as the old and not very good rule "don't fill your pool over 80%". My problem with both rules is that they are way too general and ignoring the actual use case. For some use...

    thanks for the feedback! always nice to hear that users/customers are happy :) just fyi: if you have a subscription, you can enter it in your forum account under 'account details' and then you get a 'subscriber' badge here, so we (and others)...

    Thanks for your great support! Awesome how good proxmox support is even for the community subscription. I thought I knew how ARC works and that your new default is way, way too small. Turns out once again that you pro guys know what you are...
