Hey all, So I have recently inherited an r730 that I would like to move my current r430 into. With this change the entirety of the r430 components (CPUs, RAM, HDDs, PCIE NIC, and RAID controller) would simply be removed from the r430 and into the r730. I assume the transfer should be as easy as...

@UdoB agreed, I am in no way anticipating the raidz2 array as having backup tenancies at all. Only the fact that I have the resilience of two disks failing prior to data loss occurring in the array. The 3-2-1 backup strategy is what I would use in this case to ensure my data is resilient against...

Thanks for the insight! Yea as I've been thinking about it I actually feel like the two 12 disks Vdevs in the pool would be better than 1. If I simply create the new vdev and add it to the pool, should I do anything after that to optimize the new storage layout?

Oh nice I wasn't aware that was needed. I went ahead and ran the command zpool upgrade ZFS1 and it looks like it added the feature raidz_expansion but that isn't strictly the vdev expansion feature (or so it seems). Do you know if the vdev expansion is supported with v9 of proxmox? EDIT: it...

Hello, So I recently performed my upgrade from proxmox VE 8 to 9 and with it I was excited to see that v.9 now includes a form of ZFS expansion: "ZFS now supports adding new devices to existing RAIDZ pools with minimal downtime." I currently have a ZFS pool created on one of my PVE nodes that...

@aaron could you or one of the other proxmox forum admins mark this post as resolved? I can't seem to do it :)

Alright so I have found out my solution to the problem. With some help from Reddit, I was able to narrow it down to the drives themselves and the fact that due to them being SED drives (SED FIPS 140-2 which is essentially a self encryption standard for drives, often used in DoD). They had...

I'll try to do that when I have the next opportunity. I also noticed that in the above screenshot with the colors and text in post #10, disks /dev/sdd, /dev/sde, /dev/sdf all show the following error when running fsck /dev/sdX for each disk. The only one that is different is /dev/sdf which...

Hey sorry for the late response, work was busy this week but thank you so much for taking the time to respond! So going down the list here are the answers to your questions: Yes, when i started playing around with the first set of drives i had (about 5) i ran into the error documented above...

Alright to provide a little more information, here is another screenshot of all the disks listed in proxmox cross referenced with the zpool status and other useful information of their state. Also as a side note it looks like i do have an extra disk not in the array that i thought was in the...

Thank you for the reply @Stoiko, I will definitely check that! Just to let you know the drives miraculously repaired themselves it seems and there were no issues in creating the zpool i desired. However, after a few months of running it has come to my attention that two of the drives have...

Not sure but I'd assume they can be used in a grouping of 10 drives? I wasn't aware that this was a limitation in some drives. They are Seagate enterprise SAS drives with SED encryption (ST1200MM0108 - Data Sheet). Do you think that because they are SED encrypted and previously used that could...

currently reading temps on the CPU ~48 C and on the exhaust ~40C, drive temps are reading ~40C and the TRIP temp is set at 60C. Unfortunately I dont think this is what is causing problems. I am currently trying to determine the physical locations of the faulted drives so I can try swapping them...

@Dunuin Thanks for the prompt response! So ill go ahead and start by checking the memory using memtest86+ since that seems to be an easy thing to start on. I also ran `zpool scrub ZFS1` and `zpool status -v ZFS1` and it appears that the scrub managed to repair some of the data corruption but a...

Hey y'all, So I recently set up proxmox on a r720xd and run it as a secondary node in my proxmox cluster. It has 10 1.2TB SAS drives on it (ST1200MM0108) that i have been running in raidz2 and i use a seperate SSD for the host (which runs a NFS share for the zfs pool) and the single VM i run on...
