UdoB replied to the thread I Think I Get It.A "Special Device" is NOT a cache. It contains the actual (meta-) data. (What made you think it is???) If you lose the SD all data in that pool is gone. You see, it is -of course- persistent :-) -
UdoB replied to the thread I Think I Get It.Single digit TB. It was just ok to use it for several weeks. Then it got too slow to work with... Remember: for each and every chunk (below 4 MB of data) metadata has to be read (or written, which is worse). For Gigabytes of data this means a...

Hi @ashah , welcome to the forum. The port specification is separated from the host name by column, not by slash. Https://ip:8006 Cheers. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox -
UdoB replied to the thread I Think I Get It.I am not convinced. In my local universe (aka homelab) I am using rotating rust too. With this a good Special Device is essential. Anecdote, told multiple times: my very first PBS was classic HDD only. It worked. But after some time, after...

UdoB replied to the thread Prune Schedule Advice for Home/Small Office PBS?.That purely depends on the need to "go back to $date", so ask the office owner if "not possible to restore data from four months ago" is acceptable (or possibly required, because of $policy). At home I keep multiple yearly backups. For my...

Understand, thank you.

UdoB replied to the thread Einrichten eines spezial Device.Du kannst a) die Belegung und b) den momentan Datentransfer zum Beispiel so beobachten: ~# zpool iostat -v 5 capacity operations bandwidth pool...

UdoB replied to the thread Power Outages While Backups are Running.Backup jobs won't restart "in the middle" after rebooting. There is no reboot-persistent state of such a canceled job. They are started again per your schedule. There will be some new data already transferred from PVE to PBS before the reboot...

SOLVED ! I'm confused. Browser problem (Firefox). All works as usual with Chrome. Sorry again.

UdoB replied to the thread Proxmox 8.4 OS compatibility with windows server 2022 and can deploy Active directory domain controller.This page: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2022_guest_best_practices implies that it shall work :-) Disclaimer: I do not use Windows Server...

UdoB replied to the thread Run PBS 4 bare metal or as either a VM or LXC under PVE 9?.The whole point of a backup is to be available when the original system dies. When a PVE dies the VM implementing PBS is gone too, no? (The same -of course- for a Container or direct parallel installation.) For me the classic 3-2-1 rule makes...

UdoB replied to the thread Power Outages While Backups are Running.The backup process stops. :cool: Sending shutdown is handled gracefully in any case - as long as the UPS runtime is long enough. Backups will report "Task errors" after the fact, but that's to be expected, right?

UdoB replied to the thread Proxmox Ceph.Make sure to understand the limitations of two Ceph nodes. Personally I came to the conclusion that I wanted at least five! https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/ Disclaimer: not using Ceph...

UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Sanity Check - Installing Proxmox on Dell R730xd with Like.
I agree with Udo on "Use ZFS whenever possible" but it should be noted that HW RAID will propably be faster without having the advanced features of ZFS. For the OS install this doesn't really matter for your VM workload it might be worth to do...

UdoB replied to the thread Broken upgrade.You have access to the system via ssh, right? Why don't you copy-n-paste the two commands I asked you to run in #8? (And their output, of course ;-) ) Please add the output of fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 to the mix - to show the partition table...

UdoB replied to the thread Broken upgrade.You never explained what you did. We also can not know, what "NVME" means for you - there are different ways to configure storage and your screenshot only shows a name, without much technical context. Describe what know about "NVME" and post...

And PBS must have write permission with his user und group IDs

of course there is a reason for it. of course the popup isnt required for pve to work, but proxmox as a company is selling a product and wants to make profits from it. so they place the popup there to remind people of that, much in the same way...
-
UdoB replied to the thread Where are my backups getting stored?.Note that most files generated by PBS - and especially those containing the actual data - are "invisible"/"hidden", the data is in the ".chunks"-folder.

UdoB replied to the thread Sanity Check - Installing Proxmox on Dell R730xd.A classic Hardware-Raid with LVM or Ext2 on top can NOT give you all the goodies ZFS implements: guaranteed integrity, technically cheap snapshots, transparent compression, replication - to just name a few. See also...
