    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...

    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    RolandK posted the thread swap on proxmox server ? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.
    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) ?
