    Is a GlusterFS Hyperconverged Proxmox with Hardware Raid doable?

    I can really recommend the Samsung PM883 (eg. 960GB) to use for Ceph and they have PLP (power loss protection). They are enterprise grade and are still very affordable now the SSD prices are on the rise. Cheapest new I've found for the 960GB version, €67 ex VAT...

    Recommendations on the best storage configuration

    I can really recommend the Samsung PM883 (eg. 960GB) to use for ZFS or Ceph on Proxmox. They never let me down and they are still very affordable now the SSD prices are on the rise. Cheapest new I've found for the 960GB version, €67 ex VAT...

    ProxMox on RISC-V Questions

    @dietmar, it is available now :) Can be a really nice start of 2024! Maybe the Proxmox team/company can order some of these complete RISC V systems running Debian out of the box. With their spec looking really nice for a Proxmox VE system. They ship on Jan 5th, guess arrive a week or max 2...

    Use Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) 2.2-1 with Proxmox Virtual Environment 6.0-4

    I wouldn't use TrueNAS without ECC memory if you want the backup to be used for restore. The risk that the backup doesn't survive is too big. Out of curiosity, on which hardware did you want to run PBS, looking at your explained limitations? Do you have a spare server available to setup PBS...

    [SOLVED] New Proxmox server has constantly increasing memory usage; is this normal? How to resolve?

    Hi @oscaro, maybe this can help you out. To explain what is happening an what can be done to (if needed), I will show you a host which was just reinstalled and rebooted. The same can be seen here and the VM's are not using it, but ZFS is. None of the below increases in memory is caused by VM's...

    Use Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) 2.2-1 with Proxmox Virtual Environment 6.0-4

    Why not backup first the VM's to eg. a local disk with vzdump? You can also do this to a SMB shared folder if you want. This way you can upgrade to PVE 7.2 after that, restore the VM's and use PBS with PVE 7.2 (with the included compatiblity and capabilities). Saves you a lot of hassle, pretty...

    Enclosure visualization

    Managing a Proxmox cluster in the datacenter with multiple nodes and multiple drives (Ceph OSD and ZFS pools) per node, I am missing an easy way to locate the drive in the enclosure. Smart data or Ceph OSD status visualized in a simple row/column fashion. Is is possible to add a simple...

    Deduplication not correctly shown

    No, unfortunately after a GC task the file is not created. Yes, the 'backup' user is allowed to write via nfs to the nas/san. The 'backup' user is the 1001 user as seen in the posts before. It looks like if the file is not present, PBS won't create it. Even if I create the .gc-status file...

    How to get the right usage shown of a datastore?

    Can you post the output of the following code? proxmox-backup-debug api get /status/datastore --output-format json

    Deduplication not correctly shown

    There seem to be no .gc-status file in the datastore. Only .lock and .chunks I haven't manually adjusted anything, just installed PBS and upgraded over time. Results from the prompt root@proxpbs:/# cd mnt/backup-pbs/ root@proxpbs:/mnt/backup-pbs# ls -la total 8279 drwxr-xr-x 5 1001 1001...

    Proxmox Backup Server 2.2 available

    In the documentation is a typo, not sure where to report, so put it here. Just to help out to make the namespace documentation a little better. https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/terminology.html?highlight=namesapce As you can see, namesapce should be namespace in that part.
