    Do you have pointers to articles supporting this statement? A small size ARC should not rise problems, except performance wise...? The practical lower limit is only reached when the ZFS internal data structures do not fit into it anymore. The...

    UdoB replied to the thread Additional Network configuration.
    Yes, sure. I am not a pfSense user, so I can not help there. The last octet is basically irrelevant. "192.168.1.225/24" specifies exactly the same network as "192.168.1.123/24" or (cleaner) "192.168.1.0/24" does. "192.168.1.225/24" ist just...

    UdoB reacted to Thorfin's post in the thread Vmware migration with Vcenter down with Like Like.
    I'd be pretty relieved that your VMs are still running—that's the important part. You don't actually need vCenter to migrate them. As long as you can log into each ESXi host through the Host Client, Proxmox can import the VMs directly. A...

    +1 to UdoB's point — this trips up a lot of people and it's worth underlining. "Dedicated VLAN" and "dedicated wire" solve completely different problems. A VLAN tag protects you from L2 broadcast domain contamination and gives the switch...

    Noch eine kleine Anmerkung: Das klang jetzt vielleicht alles ein wenig zu absolut. Deshalb noch einmal: Ich möchte hier niemandem "verbieten", einen Desktop auf seinem Proxmox-Host zu installieren. Wenn du weißt, was du tust, und dir zu helfen...

    Can/Would you include ZFS Support instead of BTRFS?
  • UdoB
    It is sufficient for one or two (or more?) handful of nodes. But this: just does not work! You need to have a separate wire. In your case any other VLAN can saturate this physical wire and make corosync die. There may be priority "tricks"...

    UdoB replied to the thread Additional Network configuration.
    Yes! As long as vmbr1 is used in pfSense and in that VM both can communicate. The very basic test is to "ping" each other. And pfSense has to route outgoing packages. Usually at least, as this is the main task of a router :-) Ah! That's great :-)
  • UdoB
    Okay, das mit dem SMB-Share habe ich wohl irgendwie hineininterpretiert. Aber dann frage ich doch einfach mal: Was sind denn das für Dateien auf dem Proxmox-Host, die man per Maus (oder überhaupt) verschieben, löschen, kopieren müsste. Sind es...
  • UdoB
    the non-free repos should work just fine (e.g. i have it here on my proxmox install too). Our package dependencies should prevent any problems, or it would warn you that the proxmox-ve metapackage will be removed. Of course this is no guarantee...

    UdoB replied to the thread Additional Network configuration.
    What is "UTP"? Yes. Just connect it to vmbr1 instead of vmbre0 and configure it from the inside of the guest to use that network. Both steps needs to happen at the same time. Currently vmbr1 does not have an IP address on the host. That is...

    UdoB replied to the thread Proxmox 7.x kernel - Rust Support.
    You may create a "Feature Request / Bug" over at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ (after looking if there is one similar already). That's the recommended place as it is more closely watched by the developers than this forum. There are staff...

    Due to backup restore testing requirements, I wrote a script for Proxmox. Hope someone finds it useful!:) Automated Disaster Recovery (DR) testing script for Proxmox VE clusters connected to Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) Automated, hands-free...

    UdoB reacted to Falk R.'s post in the thread Cluster aufgelöst - no quorum with Like Like.
    Den Node aus der GUI bekommen, reicht sehr oft unter /etc/pve/nodes den Ordner der gelöschten Hosts zu löschen.
  • UdoB
    Warum? Qemu (worauf ProxmoxVE aufsetzt) ist auch ohne ProxmoxVE für Debian verfügbar inklusive graphischer (virt-manager, aqemu) und textbasierter Frontends (Incus, das hat auch ein Webinterface ala ProxmoxVE (nur mit weniger Features). Warum...
  • UdoB
    Debian ist ein universelles Betriebssystem. Proxmox VE nicht unbedingt, obwohl es auf Debian basiert. A fixed IP address to your server, assign you must. Hmmm, yes. Problems, many yourself you will save from. A stable connection, it ensures...

    UdoB reacted to IsThisThingOn's post in the thread ZFS raidz1 and snapshots, again with Like Like.
    For your information, your 4 wide RAIDZ1 offers 66.66% storage efficiency, while being very insecure. That is not that much better than a way better performing mirror at 50%. You won't see this problem directly in ZFS. You will notice that...

    UdoB reacted to IsThisThingOn's post in the thread ZFS raidz1 and snapshots, again with Like Like.
    I know it is pedantic, but in this specific case, there is no padding :) He/she is wasting storage because of pool geomerty. With 4 drives, we get a stripe 4 drives wide. Each stripe has three 4k data sectors (12k) and one 4k parity sector. For...

    UdoB reacted to Impact's post in the thread ZFS raidz1 and snapshots, again with Like Like.
    Lots do. I also always have to suggest this as well. If it were such a bad idea local-zfs wouldn't use it. I made a ticket in argument of changing the default if you care. I have a little snippet here which might be useful if you still need to...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread ZFS raidz1 and snapshots, again with Like Like.
    I agree. First performance and iops will suffer compared to a mirror or striped setup, second it will lead to waste due to padding see: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-zfs-raidz-for-my-vms.159923/ Another issue are the large...
