Good afternoon everyone! It's been a few days and I've been busy lately with British Columbia's provincial election and finding ways to inadvertently fill what little spare time I make for myself like writing about a book printing machine or asking my community to help photograph regional...

Good morning afternoon Proxmox community! While I haven't received any written feedback yet, I'm glad to receive some thumbs up! I've been patiently waiting and attempting to not over-think that first preview diagram for now by occupying myself with additional diagrams. After getting the first...

Hey Deadseth, Thanks for the update and the question. Nah, Linux isn't quite like Windows in that sense, you can painlessly upgrade versions for more than five years strong as I said in my example. It's more of a mindset driven by hardware failure and inevitable changes in the physical world...

Hey samumsq, Woah that's different. What happened since your first post? Did you do anything to the CEPH cluster in the meantime?? This is surprising, and if you haven't done anything then my best guess is you have something transient here. Your OSDs are nowhere near full anymore, so either way...

Totally makes sense, I'm nervous about changes sometimes too, even after most of a decade using PVE! The reality is, sometimes infrastructure runs into faults and it can be risky to your operation to make changes. Still, Linux is far easier to troubleshoot and work on then Windows. I remember...

Hi Everyone! I've been cooking up something good lately for the community and I hope to receive some feedback on it before I finish the first phase! I've decided to embark on a journey in visual communication, not only because my day job revolves around it, but because I think I can amplify the...

Hi LongQT-sea! Thanks for the feedback! I used the same copy and tried two more I had on my own file server and found that the boot loader was the issue in the end. Very interesting that you were able to use OpenCore, I tried three different instances and simply couldn't get it to play nicely...

Hey Deadseth, I think you may have run into an already reported Haswell / Intel 9-series IOMMU regression rather than a ZFS problem or necessarily a failing SSD. There is another H97/Haswell report here with a similar failure pattern on the newer kernels: Intel AHCI/SATA errors, filesystem I/O...

Hi samumsq! There's quite a high meta data consumption in general from the output. That CEPH cluster is running on very few disks, it's intended for hundreds of disks so strange behaviour can occur in smaller populations. Taking a look at the meta data distribution, though: OSD META 568 GiB...

Good morning, everyone! Lots of learning available from this forum thread, what a journey, Werner! You have a lot of patience and dedication to follow through with this troubleshooting. Very good sleuthing on BBGeek's part here, it makes sense that the NOP is symptomatic of a stall. The...

Thanks Aaron, thanks Longer, That's exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for when I posted. PVE Mirror now has its own subsection now under Related Proxmox software, next to PBS, PMG and PDM. I also added a line to the history section for 7.3, since that's where offline mirror support...

Hi Everyone, After reading through BBGeek's tutorial earlier today about LVM-Thin, I was inspired to share an educational article I recently published on my blog. The article explores Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server, a remarkable operating system that made core IT infrastructure incredibly...

Hi Everyone, As Proxmox VE has grown quite substantially since I began using it, I thought I'd blend together my Wikipedia editing with my in-depth knowledge of the software and my general awareness of the company behind it. Having received the Proxmox VE Advanced Certification in the 7.2 era...

Hi Huganega, Ok, that 128/128 result is probably the most interesting thing you've found yet. The fact that the active SCSI path reaches exactly 128 outstanding requests, stops completing them for 12-14 seconds, and then sdk_ioerr_cnt increases by exactly 128 when iSCSI recovery occurs is...

Hey Frankz, Realtek cards "work" on most Linux hosts, but server admins don't trust them due to well-earned stigma. NICs are very affordable, I have a pile of them. But an I340-T4 for under $40 CAD or PRO/1000 4 Port for the same price will be more reliable. I don't always recommend server...
