UdoB replied to the thread Move Disk hangs forever in version 8.2.4.I am not convinced! 4 binary TB (correct: 4 TiB) is 4398046511104 Bytes. And it is 4294967296 KILOBytes. The last one is possibly used to show wrongly 4.2 TB... -
UdoB replied to the thread Move Disk hangs forever in version 8.2.4.Perhaps a maximum filesize limit is hit somewhere? Compare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits

UdoB replied to the thread New Proxmox box w/ ZFS - R730xd w/ PERC H730 Mini in “HBA Mode” - BIG NO NO?.That's surprising and not expected, of course. How did you create that pool? What gives "zpool status" before reboot and "zpool import" after it? We are talking "write cache", right? It tells ZFS that data has been written to disk while it...

Ist generell auch bei nicht so wichtigen Diensten eigentlich immer eine gute Sache. Hilft auch enorm beim troubleshooten. Der ganz grosse Vorteil von LXC ist die Nutzung von files anstelle von blockstorage. Das ist eine kompliziertes Thema und...

For LXC I would only run one application to keep it small and isolated as much as possible. As @UdoB mentioned: you can keep this set-up also with VMs. I personally don’t run a VM for only one docker container. One exception are really mission...

Thank you both for your replies. So it looks like "pick your poison", based on hardware and requirements is the way to go and there is no "one size fits all". Which is totally OK for me, as I can then decide on a case-by-case basis what makes...

This heavily depends on your applications, usecases and used Hardware. For example running docker inside lxcs us known to break from time to time ( e.g. after updates) so any docker application should be run in a vm. But if you have limited RAM...

UdoB replied to the thread Question on having a m.2 drive for boot.For me? Any device with PLP. Via a German search engine: https:// geizhals.de/?cat=hdssd&xf=7156_Power-Loss Protection~7525_SATA Most of my SSDs are "Enterprise class". Most of my NVMe are not. This make no sense, necessarily. But especially...

UdoB replied to the thread Question on PBS setup and hardware.Both (!) is suboptimal. (You know that, right?) But if I am forced to choose: the PBS (or any backup system) should be independent from the source it will backup. You'll probably want the backup to be available and usable when (not: if!) the...
-
A node on which the cluster is initially created can have guests. Any node that is joining the cluster needs to be empty. Therefore create the cluster on the node with the PCI passthrough TrueNAS VM. The other node needs to be freed. Either by...
-
UdoB replied to the thread Best practice: How many apps per LXC/VM?.You will get different (but valid!) answers to this question. But my decision is: one service == one VM! This especially means that I do separate docker containers in a single VM each. Yes, this seems to waste resources. But I like it this way...
-
Sounds like every node lost quorum (with HA enabled) at the same time. This suggest a network hick-up of some kind, which appears to have been temporary. Check the system logs of the nodes (just before the reboot) and your switches.
-
UdoB replied to the thread Proxmox not detected as bootable by OS-prober.Probably: yes! But please: PVE is meant to be the basis of a multitude of VMs. Put it on a stable hardware and avoid each and every "ideas" possible on this lowest level. Please! This means PVE "owns" the hardware! No dual-boot whatever OS you...
-
UdoB replied to the thread Question on having a m.2 drive for boot.Ideal? No! Acceptable? Maybe! It always depends on your expectations! I have some nodes (in a cluster) which boots from a single device. (Because of the restrictions of a Mini-PC in a $Homelab.) But the hosted VMs live on a redundant one...
-
UdoB replied to the thread ZFS Rewrite doesn’t fully move all metadata/small files to Special VDEV.You list only a single pool named "special" consisting of a single (triple!) mirrored vdev! There is no "Special Device" involved! Not sure what you want to achieve and what to recommend... sorry.

Like.
Thanks, I will start with PBS installing on the Intel NUC with 8gb ram and 110gb ssd after that is working i'll come back to you to explain me please how to setup the 2nd machine as cascade. -
UdoB replied to the thread Need ZFS or general config advice on mixed HPE DL360 cluster setup to replace vmware..You say "3" but you list five. If you can actually run more than three then I would evaluate Ceph. With only three I would use ZFS with replication. Most of the drives are HDDs, right? In that case I would highly recommend multiple ZFS mirrors...

UdoB replied to the thread PBS on desktop pc with SSD or in VM on PVE or not at all?.My PBS's use surprisingly low CPU resources. The limits come from the storage system. Usually. I would opt for the low power device to run 24*7 and cascade the other one, as mentioned. I am not sure if I understand that correctly...

"The only usecase for any backup server is to restore data when (not: if) the source system fails." Another usecase is restoring a file when the source system is OK and someone needs the file which has been deleted or modified in the meantime :).

I suggest once again that people evaluate the Pulse monitoring app, which uses the Proxmox api to monitor not only the temps, but the CPU/RAM/Disk/Backups/hosts/docker apps etc. on a single pane of glass, right across your estate. They have made...
