I have a small MSP company. I have several VMs, most of them on Vultr, a couple on AWS. It would be much more efficient for me to migrate these VMs to KVMs or LXC containers in Proxmox on a bare metal server. How common is it for users to install Proxmox VE on bare metal cloud servers? If I...

What have the struggles with passthrough been? I used GPU passthrough for several months with a Ubuntu machine and it seemed to work as intended.

I'd interested in building a machine with lots of RAM, CPU cores, and multiple GPUs to host a few VMs. It would be 2 Windows VMs, and a Linux VM, each having their own GPU and USB controller. These would basically function as virtual workstations, and would support 2 users (both in physical...

I currently host a handful of VMs on TrueNAS SCALE. I'd like to move these to a Proxmox box. A couple of them will need between 1TB-3TB of data. How I do this currently is the boot drive is on a 3-way-mirrored NVME drive array, and I created iSCSI extents on a separate spinning rust array for...

I'd like to build a single box to serve as a file server and VM host for several VMs. I toyed with the idea of using TrueNAS SCALE, but it doesn't really seem like it's ready for prime time. I'm curious how to best manage the file server aspect of Proxmox, if I decided to use it for that. I'm...

I have Nextcloud inside a VM. I have a zfs dataset on a NAS that houses various software (isos, some php stuff I wrote, etc). I want to map that zfs dataset inside my Nextcloud VM, so users can access the software files from Nextcloud. I have regular backups of the entire Nextcloud VM, but I...

On this install, the VMs themselves live on a different pool, so it's only the Proxmox install that's on the boot pool.

I have my install on a 2 136g spinning HDDs. I'd like to replace both of them with 120G ssds. When I use zfs replace rpool current-disk new-disk I get "cannot replace, device is too small. As I understand it, ZFS should accept a smaller disk provided there's sufficient space on the new disk...

I get all that, but I guess I don't fully understand why 8k would be the default block size, at all....

Thank you very much for the input. I'm a bit lost as to why this is even an option? What are the benefits of block sizing at 8k vs 16k?

I have a RAID Z-1 Pool with 3x240gb drives. Proxmox ZFS Tab shows me Size: 668 - Free: 370 - Allocated: 297 Under the pool's tab I see the various disk images totaling 312g of storage. However, usage shows that it's 98.85% full (< 5g remaining). What's going on here? Where is the remaining...

I currently have my Proxmox VE installed on 2x SAS 3.5" HDDs (using ZFS mirror). I have another array of 2x of the same HDDs that I use to store the VM themselves. Those HDDs are a couple years old now, and I am looking to upgrade. Is using something like cheap "consumer-grade SSDs" (I will...

I want to replace ZFS drives in a ZFS-Mirror Pool. In this case, there is nothing wrong with the drives, I just want to use bigger ones. When I do zpool status -v, I get disk names as listed below, instead of logical names like sdf (or what have you). Is this normal behavior? How do I replace...
