    Best way to migrate large volume from Ceph to ZFS

    Thanks for the feedback!! Sharing out the new server ZFS pool via NFS to the older cluster is currently working. I tested a live disk move on a smaller VM and everything went fine. I was then able to move it, as you suggest, from a local directory storage on the new server to ZFS pool on the...

    [SOLVED] pveceph install tries to do bad things

    Thanks Guys! I did forget to add the non-subscription repo. Added that and install works fine! Sorry for that. I thought I had added it before. That is usually step 1 after a fresh install.

    Disks GUI - /proc/mounts too long - aborting

    Running pve 5.2-2 (and also previous versions) When I select the "Disks" option in the GUI I get an error file '/proc/mounts' too long - aborting (500) On the nodes where I receive this message, I have a large number of ZFS datasets with subsequent mountpoints. I believe this is interfering...

    How to best migrate to new host?

    Hi spirit, I am researching the best method for lve migrating VMs from an old cluster to a new cluster. My plan is to add the old cluster nodes as ceph clients of the new cluster, move the storage to the new ceph cluster and then figure out a way to live migrate the running vm to the new host...

    Incremental backups & Ceph?

    Interesting. I have not seen any performance degradation on my side. I wasn't aware of this so I have been researching it all morning. It does seem like a fair amount of people have seen issues with snapshots on their clusters. Do you happen to have a link you could share that mentions snapshots...

    Incremental backups & Ceph?

    I agree, pigz can be dangerous. You can limit the number of CPUs with the -p option in pigz. The nice thing about the rbd stdout option is you can choose whatever compression tool you prefer.

    Incremental backups & Ceph?

    Good question about compression. I installed pigz compressor on one of my nodes in my cluster. Its a parallel compressor based on gzip so it is really fast. In order to add add compression, when exporting with the rbd command, instead of specifying an output file to the rbd command, specify a...

    Incremental backups & Ceph?

    You are right, my script does not do this currently. It should be pretty simple to quiesce the filesystems and then do the ceph snapshot just to make sure everything is good.
