RolandK replied to the thread PBS Task history creating "bad" files at times.good point ! -

Like.
In my interpretation of the question "why is PBS using these characters" (paraphrase) it's less that Linux "can" do this, and more about "what is the actual benefit of using these characters vs not using them at all when PBS makes/interacts with... -
RolandK reacted to fabian's post in the thread PBS Task history creating "bad" files at times with Like.
because it's a Linux based piece of software, and Linux doesn't care about such things (paths are sequences of bytes). shell handling does require extra attention, that's why tools like find and xargs have special modes: $ find . -iname...

RolandK replied to the thread PBS Task history creating "bad" files at times.to be honest, why is pbs using special chars like \ , : or ! at all in filenames ? i have rarely seen so weird file naming and it's really making users life hard when it comes to script processing, i'm sure there are quite some people pulling...

RolandK replied to the thread swap on proxmox server ?.>You don't need "checksums or redundancy" for swap, that makes little sense. huh? >If using ZFS on HBA, then you (like I said) can reserve a bit of disk space at the end and make swap postinstall, >or put swap on separate dedicated disk that...

As stated above, it's what I use as well. I have no issues.

RolandK replied to the thread swap on proxmox server ?.what about zram for swap alternative? it is discouraged here https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Zram but in zfs community it is currently recommended as alternative to swap on zvol : https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7734#issuecomment-3723591151

RolandK replied to the thread swap on proxmox server ?.that's at least better then nothing, but is no real redundancy but more a comfortability switch, as you won't need maintenance on the machine on bootup when one swap device fails.
-
I use ZRAM myself: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Zram#Alternative_Setup_using_zram-tools You can also leave some space unallocated on the disk and create a SWAP partition or a SWAP file on a ext4 file system created on it.
-
RolandK replied to the thread swap on proxmox server ?.you have no redundancy with simple ext4, if your disk crashes and pages are swapped out, your server crashes. that's why i wrote "rundandant disk". nowadays, typically zfs is being used and using mdraid is discouraged with proxmox so i wonder...
-
since swap on zvol still is not in a usable state - what is the recommended proxmoy way to go to have swap on servers with requirement for redundant disk (i.e. raid storage) ?
-
That is because during sync, already known chunks (since 4.1 limited to the same group, see [0]) can be skipped. These might however not be good anymore locally, needing a re-verification. [0]...

RolandK replied to the thread verify after sync/replication ?.ah, thanks for the pointer, i searched bugzilla but did miss this ticket. but for my curiousity - when newly pulled data chunks are already verified - why do they appear unverified at the sync target when they had not been verified at the source...
-
RolandK posted the thread verify after sync/replication ? in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.hi, as it seems syncing a datastore to another pbs will "inherit" the verify state of the source snapshot(s) is there a way to unset that verified flag on/after transfer so verify can be run AFTER transfer/sync, so we can verify freshly...

RolandK reacted to Chris's post in the thread single unencrypted file in encrypted repo - where does it belong to ? with Like.
This chunk is the all zero unencrypted but compressed chunk. We use it for the atime update safety check on garbage collection, it being inserted if not present. You might disable the atime safety check (in the datastore tuning options) if you...

RolandK reacted to fabian's post in the thread single unencrypted file in encrypted repo - where does it belong to ? with Like.
to shed some further light into the internals of PBS: blobs are never referencing chunks. blobs and chunks are the same thing format-wise, just used for different purposes: - chunk: blob stored in the chunk store, to be referenced by indices via...

RolandK replied to the thread single unencrypted file in encrypted repo - where does it belong to ?.ah, ok, that makes sense. thanks for explaining. i removed the atime safety check mark and on the next GC the file got removed.

RolandK posted the thread single unencrypted file in encrypted repo - where does it belong to ? in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.i have made some weird observation, i cannot explain to myself i switched my repos to encrypted a while ago and all unencrypted backups have been purged and removed by garbage collection. in webui all backup snapshots show up encrypted. for...

Hi Roland, i appreciate the interest - i thought that's what i was doing here, reporting it, tbh? thanks for the link, i thought i remember seeing that bug report, and the purple links for the attachments confirmed it :) i couldn't be sure if it...

RolandK replied to the thread Recent PVE 9 kernel update - OOPSfest in mm/hugetlb.>i thought that's what i was doing here, reporting it, tbh yes, thanks, but for a bug to be reproduced (which helps a lot resolving it), a "receipe" (i.e. detailed description of setup and what to do) is needed. so if you can provide such, i'm...
