    VictorSTS replied to the thread HDD usage option..
    Because it has just 750GB and I bet that all metadata is already cached. Try rebooting the server and running GC again or try running GC on a 140TB datastore on BTRFS. I've done such tests and performance is similar to ZFS. Not to mention that...

    VictorSTS replied to the thread HDD usage option..
    IIUC what you propose: that makes little sense and that setup you describe can be accomplished with local sync jobs (SSD datastore where backups are done, then sync them to HDD for "archival"). The performance issue with HDDs on PBS isn't backup...

    Today, we announce the availability of a new archive CDN dedicated to the long-term archival of our old and End-of-Life (EOL) releases. Effective immediately, this archive hosts all repositories for releases based on Debian 10 (Buster) and older...

    Sorry for that, but It seems you didn’t understand my point either. No need to convince me about anything: use bugzilla to explain your use case to the devs so they can decide what should be improved. I know how PVE's HA works, it's ok for me...
  • VictorSTS
    I don't agree with that statement: It's not a bug, it's how HA has always worked and requires shared storage (i.e. Ceph, NFS, CIFS, SAN, local ZFS + replication) [1]. As HA is right now, it's fully admin responsibility to check the systems...

    A bit of good news to kick off the new year: our pull request addressing the iSCSI DB consistency/compatibility issue has been accepted by the Open-iSCSI maintainers. This means the fix will be included upstream and should make its way into a...
  • VictorSTS
    Don't know what are you referring to. Do you have a link to the change you mention? Also, resurrecting a year+ old post without providing details isn't that useful. In the mean time there has been improvements for both restores and verification...
  • VictorSTS
    This alone doesn't provide enough information: how many OSD do you have in each of your hosts? Are they full disks or did you use partitions in each disk?

    VictorSTS replied to the thread Ceph: High Latency on NVMe SSD.
    16 consumer NVMe drives. Any write Ceph does is sync and any drive without PLP will show high latency and, once its cache fills, poor sequential performance. Keep in mind that you have to write to 3 disks and besides data itself it has to write...

    VictorSTS reacted to fweber's post in the thread Proxmox with 48 nodes with Like Like.
    A status update on this: Two corosync parameters that are especially relevant for larger clusters are the "token timeout" and the "consensus timeout". When a node goes offline, corosync (or rather the totem protocol it implements) will need to...

    After a local sync from the namespace where PBS02 stored the synced snapshots to the namespace where PVE stores it's backups, now PVE only transfers changed data and in most cases even uses the existing dirty-map (I suspect dirty-map can be...
  • VictorSTS
    please post a backup task log. client-side deduplication can only happen if there is a previous snapshot on the backup target (datastore+namespace+group!) that is not a in a verification-failed state. based on your description I suspect you have...
  • VictorSTS
    This is what I was missing here. Yes, they are in a new, empty namespace. Now that I think it again makes sense as there is no "list of snapshots with their list of chunks" to compare to and help PBS decide before hand if a chunk should be...
  • VictorSTS
    I've had some bad luck this time with a broken PBS server. This is the sequence of events: - Cluster PVE does it's backups to PBS01 (v3.4.4) for nearly two years. - PBS02 (v4.1.1) in a remote location syncs backups from PBS01. This has been...

    I'm fully aware about the usefulness of snapshots as volume chains for LVM and I am about not needing it on any file based storage. That's not what I'm asking. My question is what is the use case and motivation to use snapshots as volume chains...
  • VictorSTS
    That script doesn't change the IP on any of the needed files, just on the network configuration and doesn't really add anything to what you can do by hand or via webUI. Don't use it.
  • VictorSTS
    Change the entry on /etc/hosts too and restart pve-proxy and pvecluster services (or reboot host). Details here [1]. Remember this works if host isn't in a cluster, which probable isn't as it's a single host. [1]...
  • VictorSTS
    Just stumbled on this. PVE9 with QEMU 10.1 deprecates VM machine versions older than 6 years [1]. You will have to change the machine version on the hardware of the VM to be >=6, both for 440fx or Q35. This implies that a new virtual motherboard...
  • VictorSTS
    Definitely not the same issue, even if the symptom is the same. I remember having somewhat similar issue on some Dell long ago (AFAIR it was when PVE7.0 came out) and enabling all of X2APIC, IOMMU and SRIOV on BIOS + BIOS update solved it at the...
