    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 aren't part of the ZFS pool. and if you loose the...

    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

    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.

    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 what are the options, i.e. what's the right way....

    swap on proxmox server ?

    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) ?

    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 before ? shouldn't set pbs them as verified then ?

    verify after sync/replication ?

    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 transferred snapshots and and can use re-verify-after-30d...

    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.

    single unencrypted file in encrypted repo - where does it belong to ?

    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 being sure that there is everything encrypted, i...

    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 sure it's very welcomed.

    Proxmox Backup Server 4.1 released!

    not sure if this is a result of the upgrade and how it looked before - but is this normal/intentional that size and encryption staatus for client.log.blob is not shown and that both blob files are not downloadable ? when unencrypted, they can be downloaded

    Poor GC/Verify performance on PBS

    you may try new verification reads and workers options, it considerably improves verification speed, from a first test i see 2-3x better performance - which is equivalent to the findings reported at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5035#c2
