    Thanks team, despite being my first message I've been a Proxmox user for some years already. Upgraded and working flawlessly on a Minisforum MS-01:

    Ich bin nicht der OP, aber ich antworte dennoch mal..., nur zu Unterhaltungszwecken... Naja..., warum nicht so arbeiten? Ich verwende PVE extensiv an mehreren Stellen, in meinem Keller läuft ein (total oversized) Cluster. Mit den üblichen...

    Hello Udo, Thank you very much for the explanation. I use the datastore for VMs only; static data is stored on a NAS with HDDs. From this, I conclude that I should probably use RAID10 (i.e. 6x mirror vdevs) for performance reasons as well...
  • UdoB
    You did not say anything of the underlying filesystems...? For ZFS it may be expected as ZFS does a lot more work than classic filesystems under the hood, resulting in multiple IO-operations used for metadata etc...

    UdoB reacted to t.lamprecht's post in the thread Kernel 6.14 - End of Support with Like Like.
    The deprecation itself was not strongly influenced by that, but the decision to communicate it more actively was in fact primarily driven by it. Normally, we only mentioned it on the side once a new kernel became the default. In the past, we...

    Well..., it is "50%" versus "66%". For this 16% more space you lose two third of available IOPS. Six mirrors have three times the IOPS as two RaidZ2 offer, every single vdev counts. If you are storing VMs on the resulting pool then this is...

    Oh, sorry. I misread it - too quickly...
  • UdoB
    There was or there is an error in capacity reporting. I have no link, but the main point was that "more capacity" was actually present but just not reflected by the displayed values. As you found your solution by recreating the pool you may...
  • UdoB
    After expanding the RAIDZ2 you need to rewrite the data so it can use the new parity ratio of 2:4 instead of 2:2. See: https://openzfs.org/w/images/6/68/RAIDZ_Expansion_v2.pdf and...

    UdoB replied to the thread Stockage Type.
    Raid10 it is, multiple mirrors of two disks. Plus regularly (usually daily) backups, of course.
  • UdoB
    Proxmox does not automatically check for filesystems (that you create using command-line tools or otherwise). Go to Datacenter -> Storage and click Add and then ZFS. There you can select your new ZFS pool and give it a name and tell PVE how you...
  • UdoB
    It should actually show up in node > Disks > ZFS. I'd recommend you enable the Thin provision option when adding it as storage. It's named a bit counter intuitive but it affect the refreservation property preventing you from over-allocating...

    Or install needrestart, which also checks for services which needs to be restarted.

    UdoB reacted to daanw's post in the thread System Reboot after Update with Like Like.
    You can know this if /run/reboot-required exists. Usually only when a new kernel was installed. See: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/on-package-updates-how-do-you-know-when-a-reboot-is-required.156352/

    UdoB reacted to Impact's post in the thread Discard / Thin Provisioning with Like Like.
    Not that it solves the real problem but there's also this From what I can tell there is no real solution. There's a few other threads about this: - https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/migration-on-lvm-thin.50429/ -...

    Hi Nadee, This is a pretty common design pattern we see for production Proxmox clusters at scale for folks coming from VMware. The good news is that what you're describing is absolutely achievable. That said, before anyone can give you truly...

    Obligatory reminder regarding Ceph: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/ Please note, that Udos Writeup is a little extreme since he assumes, that you want to survive the outage of two nodes...

    Hi Patrick, Because new and old machines are same numbers you will have resources to temporarily run all guests only using new machines, so my safe and boring approach would be: build new 3 node cluster connected to switches setup up and test...

    Hallo Stefan, 1. Du kannst Mal hier schauen: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-8-4-virtiofs-virtiofs-shared-host-folder-for-linux-and-or-windows-guest-vms.167435/ In der Regel wird ein NFS Share oder ähnliches empfohlen, aber das kommt...
  • UdoB
    Was genau hast du denn versucht und was hat für Fehlermeldungen gab es? Prinzipiell hat VirtioIFS den Nachteil, dass es langsamer als NFS ist (siehe: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/i-want-to-like-virtiofs-but.164833/ ) aber je nach dem, was...
