    Suggestions on converting hw raid to zfs and backups

    Hello Currently I have two servers, a r620 and r720, both the SAS 2.5" variety. The r620 is using hw raid and the r720 is using zfs (raidz2). Both are running proxmox as the hypervisor. I'd like to convert the r620 to raidz2 without losing data. Are these my options for the above: 1. Move...

    (Re)setting up a Proxmox Node this time with ZFS, having some issues

    I had a proxmox node on an R720 with a std H710 (not in IT mode), made some mistakes and decided to just "nuke" it and start over, and this time give ZFS a try. So with original H710 (w/o IT mode installed) Cleared configs, initialized disks, deleted as much as I could/knew how to on those SAS...

    May have ruined data of one of my nodes...

    Yeah I was able to succefully add all the drives to my RAID6 array, but in the previous array config before I deleted my VD somehow, there were less drives. Both times it was RAID6, all the other configs for the array were the same, just this time I added some more drives. So I should remove...

    May have ruined data of one of my nodes...

    Darn, so I need to remove the physical disks that weren't there before, then reattempt? Then once that is working add the other drives? (all the rest of the config was the same )

What is the difference?What is using/rather what is able to use the 3tb I gave it at set up? How do I change the 20gb value when I set up a VM initially? I don't remember ever picking 20gb...

    Plenty of storage but getting errors I am out of storage. Please help a newcomer.

    Thank I will review this today. As the other reply mentioned most of my screenshots were from host not guest, I added df -H from the guest in my post and replied with it attached here in case it provides some clarity to any help you can provide.

    Thank you I thought I provided from the guest must have missed that screenshot. Just uploaded it to my post. But here it is on this reply too. I don't what all those /loop"s are and I don't see the 3tb I gave this guess from the proxmox gui. I assume the issue is the 20gb on the Ubuntu line?
