Ssdet00 replied to the thread How to I rebuild the Bootloader on ZFS RAID1??.Alright - this worked, brilliant! To quickly summarise: 1. Read this: https://docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v3.0.x/general/portable.html 2. Boot Linux Mint Live ISO, download the recovery EFI file and place it in a fat32 partition as instructed. It...

Like.
Only if he fixed the boot on both drives. Adding a mirror and having the 1st one fail without doing that leads exactly to this situation. OP, try zfsbootmenu https://github.com/zbm-dev/zfsbootmenu -
Ssdet00 replied to the thread How to I rebuild the Bootloader on ZFS RAID1??.That looks interesting - I'll give it a crack. I'm sure if I can boot my system normally at least once I can probably repair the bootloader from within Proxmox itself.

Ssdet00 replied to the thread How to I rebuild the Bootloader on ZFS RAID1??.I wish it was that simple! Sadly it's not the problem.

Ssdet00 replied to the thread How to I rebuild the Bootloader on ZFS RAID1??.Yes I did - that's where I encountered my issues with the proxmox-boot-tool. The format command works, the init command did not. Yes it is a UEFI boot partition. "proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/sda2" is the command that failed for me. Not sure...

Ssdet00 posted the thread How to I rebuild the Bootloader on ZFS RAID1?? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.I have a somewhat frustrating situation - I have a ZFS RAID1 which started out life as a single disk, and then a second SSD was added as a mirror after the installation was done. The original failed, and today I learned that a ZFS RAID1 mirror is...

Ssdet00 replied to the thread Default settings of containers and virtual machines.+1 to this idea, I made a rant a few years ago about default settings not making much sense, and it still bothers me to this day. Having profiles would be great. It's already a thing with the "OS" selection - just let us make our own please :)

Ssdet00 replied to the thread 32-bit Debian VM fails to boot after upgrading to PVE 8.2.I came across this today - wow what a headache. I have been manually reducing RAM in the meantime when needed, but it's definitely annoying. I still try to use UEFI for everything but sometimes I just need something legacy to work.

Ssdet00 replied to the thread Unable to set expected votes to 1 in a 2-host-cluster.Easy answer - I keep PBS virtualised (via LXC), and if my primary host goes down, it would be to run some services on my secondary host temporarily by restoring backups. Also, I might want to add real HA later, in which case I can disable this...

Ssdet00 replied to the thread Best Practices for Backup & Restore for LXC File Servers?.I don't think exclusions would work if I had just a single LXC. The way I'd break it up would be a bit different to overcome some of PBS shortcomings with LXCs. LXC1 = Primary container, online. This would backup boot volume only and would have...

Ssdet00 replied to the thread Best Practices for Backup & Restore for LXC File Servers?.If I had it totally figured out I wouldn't be asking would I? I'm curious if anyone has been in this situation and how they approached it. I'm looking for three things really: 1. Is there some sort of alternative to Proxmox Backup Server live...

Ssdet00 posted the thread Best Practices for Backup & Restore for LXC File Servers? in Proxmox Backup: Installation and configuration.Howdy folks. I have been using a Debian LXC with Cockpit with a handful of bind mounts for SMB file share duties, and I recently came to the realisation that my backup strategy is really not ideal now that I have over 20TB of data across various...
