    If you configure -let's say- a 100 GB virtual disk it is not created on disk as a single continuous 100 GB disk space - and stay this way. This behavior is possibly implemented by LVM thick. ZFS is usually configured sparse. Only actually...

    UdoB reacted to F.F.'s post in the thread VM virtual disks and ZFS's "80-90% rule" with Like Like.
    Well no :) I thought that if you use a zfs mount directly (for example as /home) the 80-90% rule would definitely be valid, but since I'd be using it as a virtual disk, maybe other considerations would have been necessary... Many thanks for...

    If you have an external VPS or are willing to rent one for ~two Dollar per month, take a look here: https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin = "Tunneled Reverse Proxy Server with Access Control - Your own self-hosted zero trust tunnel." This is a free...

    Do you have any indicator that this is not recommended anymore? If performance is completely irrelevant you can go higher. ZFS will not stop hard when reaching that level, but it might slow down. But please, make really, really sure to never...

    UdoB replied to the thread Schedule power on PBS.
    Unfortunately my MicroServer (Gen10) lacks "Wake on Alarm/RTC" in the Bios. But a simple wakeonlan b4:7a:f1:ae:f9:c9 is sufficient.

    Hello good people, we've shared our post implementation automation (bash form) that we have used over the journey for proxmox at scale so others can benefit. It just has the VE level optimisations in it at the moment...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Schedule power on PBS with Like Like.
    I use wakeoverlan to power up my PBS via a systemd timer on my main ProxmoxVE host every night . Systemd timers are a mechanism to run jobs/scripts on a regular schedule ( hourly, weekly, monthly, every first of month at 3 pm etc). On the PBS I...

    Sorry, no solution or actual help from my side. I get the exact same error on a brand new test-installation of TrueNAS/SCALE (released version). And as you already noted "RAW" does work on the same device. I am just playing around, nothing...

    UdoB reacted to bbgeek17's post in the thread local-lvm issue adding node to cluster with Like Like.
    @gtrovato , The short answer is "yes" - the fact that you are merging nodes into a single cluster that have different local-lvm definitions is what is causing the question marks. When you add a node to the cluster, there is a warning that any...

    Well being one of "these guys": I think it's way more important to help people to understand their used system and fix their problems for themselves instead of relieing on executing scripts from the internet as admin/root user on your...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Proxmox on aarch64 (arm64) with Like Like.
    The incus project just released IncusOS, a immutable Linux distribution based on Debian which can be used to run vms and lxcs and is available for arm64 and amd64. Last time I checked the Incus UI had less features than ProxmoxVE though and it...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Proxmox/OPNsense with Like Like.
    Well you didn't wrote this in your first post so I couldn't know this. Why don't you describe what you are trying to achieve and what didn't work?
  • UdoB
    Hi, a large part of that is feature requests and that is not a bad thing in itself. Many things are easy to request, but a lot of effort to actually implement. There's a wide variety of uses cases and wishes. If they really are outdated, feel...

    UdoB reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread Delete garbage collection before cutoff with Like Like.
    PBS doesn't work like this and this is not possible: The backed up data is split in a lot of small files ( chunks ), which are referenced by each backup snapshot they are part of. So if one chunk is in backup a of vm 101 and backup b of vm 202...

    Many people search for a comparison between the last affordable virtualization solution in the market Proxmox PVE and xcp-ng. Lawrence Systems offers a good but incomplete summary. !!! Important hint to the information in this post !!!! Besides...

    Ich antworte mir mal selbst... lange liegen gelassen, das Thema. Aber: Ja, so geht das! Basis ist heute ein Debian 13 Trixie, somit sollte das auch mit einem PVE 9.0+ gehen. Und vermutlich auch mit Vorgängern - noch nicht getestet. In der...

    UdoB reacted to fba's post in the thread local-lvm issue adding node to cluster with Like Like.
    Hi, without any details/config files provided this would be my initial guess: in Datacenter/Storage edit the local-lvm storage and select the nodes, which actually have it locally available.

    I would also recommend ZFS since it's more flexible than LVM /LVM-thin, see also: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-this-is-just-a-small-setup-with-limited-resources-and-only-a-few-disks-should-i-use-zfs-at-all.160037/ You need to...
