Thanks! I was using this tool, but it stopped working 2 years ago (after PVE 8.1 or so). Now it looks like it has been updated and works again with current version. Zabbix agent is a generic tool, it works with multiple filesystems and is enough for simple things like warning about shrinking...

Zabbix agent is running on PVE node and it sees ZFS storage as normal mounted directories, which are empty - that's what Linux system tools (like df) can see. This is a special PVE way of mounting storage volumes which causes this problem. You can use ZFS tools to see the usage, but Zabbix...

Hi, When checking ZFS storage size, Zabbix agent reports it from the operating system point of view, which is not useful. Since storage in PVE is mounted in a special way and no filesystem content is visible, the size is shown for an empty directory (like /local-zfs/), not for the ZFS...

One network port had SR-IOV disabled (and there was no I/OAT DMA feature), but enabling it did not help, so I stay with 6.14 kernel workaround.

Hi, On Dell PowerEdge R630 PVE 9.1 installer dies at early phase (when populating /dev tree). After installing PVE 8.4 and upgrade to 9.1 kernel 6.17 resets machine just before leaving kernel boot stage, but booting system with latest 6.8 and 6.14 goes just fine. On Dell PowerEdge R640 6.17...

I use 3 different systems with ZFS disk matrix ("ZFS RAID") and ~10 TB data in 4 separate datastores. While NVMe-based server works OK after upgrade (time is comparable), I had to roll back both HDD-based systems, because time fot GC each datastore has raised drastically from 1-4 hours to more...

About my numbers - it was just a one time general recovery test on cloud environment and I don't remember exactly, but that was similar, like 60 megabytes per second from other physical server after expanding ZFS pool. With just 2 disk mirror, the speed was like 40 MB/s (which would be still OK...

This is exactly what I would like to have eventually in PBS - reliability for restore, just like we have reliability of backup, even at the expense of long waiting, because I can cancel it anyway if I don't want to wait. In my case adding 3rd HDD to a ZFS pool did the job (no more problems with...

Thanks for the response! I'm fine with something more manual if it's available. Are you aware of something like that or maybe if there are some plans to address this problem in the future? Maybe existing bug report to keep an eye on it? I imagine something like "an error occurred during...

Hello, I have a big VM snapshot to restore and it sometimes breaks for some reason at different points (probably disk does not catch up or temporary network problems). I'd like to know if it's possible to resume it, to avoid going again through this time consuming and not fully reliable...

Hi, I have the same problem: - both nodes are on PVE 7.1 - VM is running on ZFS, the other node has LVM - I was using GUI migration So I expected live migration - which BTW was working many times in such setup, so I'm surprised. Is there anything else I could try?

@lukyjay It's good to know that /etc/pve is in fact not a real directory, but just a fuse-mounted database from /var/lib/pve-cluster/config.db, so probably the safest thing would be to backup this file (or directory /var/lib/pve-cluster).

I see, I just thought PVE can be sure nothing has changed on disk while the machine is off. Thanks for the explanation, fabian!

Hi, I'd like to ask what about dirty-bitmap of a stopped machine on PBS 1.1? I guess it should not change, but it looks like it's being recreated each time we do a backup, effectively just wasting the time: INFO: status = stopped INFO: backup mode: stop INFO: ionice priority: 7 INFO: VM Name...
