Hi. Thanks for the info.... but we have the repository activated and still we can create a VM....the question which remains is ...why is Proxmox trying to deactivate our only thinpool to be able to create a VM ?

Hi i am trying to setup a VM and I want to place the disk in an existing thinpool but I get an error with this message saying this:

Good point but in our case the hardware we are using is very low cost..almost disposable. and if the SDcards last a few years then we will replace them....that is why it is so important to know what is the real load on the SDcards and try to minimize it so as to extend the life of the these...

Thanks Fabian...will implement your recommendations...last question for now....what do you mean by "way below 30G" ? 1G/day perhaps ? and the logs represent what % of the daily writes ? 50% ? Thanks again for your help

Hi Fabian. Thanks for your reply. 2 questions: 1) I need your best-guess estimate since, I understand, the 30GB is a very high estimate ? 2) what should i do to reduce the writes of Proxmox ? is there a guide ?

I understand but need confirmation about the 30GB...since the feasibility of this project may be affected...

Hi Dunuin....Thanks for the info...but fabian is this 30GB a correct figure ? I mean without being logged into the GUI and only 1 VM PVE will write 30GB/day ?

My client will be running 1 windows 11 VM per server. Those VMs will only be for regular desktop usage perhaps up to 8 hours a day...noone will be logged into the GUI...given that scenario how much data can be expected to be written per day ?

30GB writes per day with only 1 VM running ? how so what is being written ?

This SD Card is the latest generation...it is very very fast (250mb/sec) and in this project only one VM will be used per server and since the hardware involved (IOT application with a mini Stick PC running proxmox) we have no other disk option and we had to install Debian and on top of it...

If Oguz is not available perhaps someone else could give me a hand with this please? I have a large project for a client and I am sure they will need tons of support bbut unfortunately I can not make it happen with proxmox...

Hi Oguz...I posted my reply with the results...what should i do next? also altough we bbought a subscription the server keeps telling me we dont have one

here it is: 1) lsblk: i: not a block device 2) root@debian2000:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 115.25 GiB, 123748745216 bytes, 241696768 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel...

Hi. Thanks for your reply...my storage is in the /var/lib/vz type directory ...how can i create a thin lvm or disk there ?

Hi. I installed proxmox on top of Debian 11 and would like to create a thinpool but it says that no disk is available ...in fact it does not show any disks,,,please help
