    Abysmally slow restore from backup

    IIUC that patch seem to be applied to the verify tasks to improve it's performance. If that's the case, words can't express how eager am I to test it once patch gets packaged!

    redundant qdevice network

    This is wrong by design: you infrastructure devices must be 100% independent from your VMs. If your PVE hosts need to reach a remote QDevice, they must reach it on their own (i.e. run a wireguard tunnel on each PVE host). From the point of view of corosync/PVE, a QDevice is "just an IP". How you...

    Snapshots as Volume-Chain Creates Large Snapshot Volumes

    IMHO, a final delete/discard should be done, too. If no discard is sent, it would delegate to the SAN what to do with those zeroes and depending on SAN capabilities (mainly thin provision but also compression and deduplication) may not free the space from the SAN perspective. And yes, some SANs...

    PVE8to9 Prompts to Remove systemd-boot on ZFS & UEFI

    It's explicitly explained in the PVE 8 to 9 documentation [1]: that package has been split in two on Trixie, hence systemd-boot isn't needed. I've upgraded some clusters already and removed that package when pve8to9 suggested to and the boot up correctly from any of the ZFS boot disks. [1]...

    Bug in wipe volume operation

    I reported this already [1] and it is claimed to be fixed in PVE9.1 released today, although haven't tested it yet. [1] https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6941

    Proxmox with 48 nodes

    You need two corosync links. For 12 nodes on gigabit I would use dedicated links for both, just in case, even if having it just for Link0 would be enough. Max I've got in production with gigabit corosync is 8 hosts, no problems at all.

    Random freezes due to host CPU type

    Given the logs you posted, I would start by removing docker from that host (it's not officially supported) and not exposing critical services like ssh to the internet. You also mention "VNC", which makes me think maybe you installed PVE on top of Debian and might be using a desktop enviroment...

    Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company

    There is RSTP [1] Maybe, but it does allow to use both links simultaneously while on RTSP only one is in use and the other is fallback only. Which you should have anyway, connected to two switches with MLAG/stacking to avoid the network being an SPOF. But yes, you would need 4 nics per host...

    Suggestions for low cost HA production setup in small company

    If Ceph doesn't let you write is because some PG(s) don't have enough OSD to fulfill the size/min.size set on a pool. In a 3 host Ceph cluster, for that to happen you either have to: Lose 2 hosts: you won't have quorum neither on Ceph nor on PVE and your VMs won't work until at least one host...

    Proxmox Ceph Performance

    That data means little if you don't post the exact fio test you ran. AFAIR, the benchmark that Ceph does is a 4k write bench to find out the IOps capacity of the drive. You should bench that with fio. Also, I would run the same bench on a host/disk that seems to provide proper performance and...

    Proxmox Ceph Performance

    Tell Ceph to benchmark those drives again on OSD start and restart the service when appropriate: ceph config set osd osd_mclock_force_run_benchmark_on_init true There's also another ceph tell like command to run a benchmark right now, but I don't remember it and may also be affected by real...

    PVE is killing my WinServer2025 VMs

    Those PVE logs only show that PVE is removing the network interfaces related to VMID 101 and 106. Check event log inside the VM. I have some Win2025 test VMs running 24x7 both on PVE8.4 and PVE9 without such issue. Although doesn't seem to be your case, triple-check there's no OOM events with...

    Windows Server 2025

    Windows does that (assign an APIPA address) when the IP is in use somewhere in the network and some device replies to the ARP discover for the address you've entered in the configuration.

    Proxmox VE 9 existing ZFS vdev expansion?

    I may be missing something here, but keep in mind that files != zvol: you can't use neither the script nor zfs-rewrite to make VMs disk(s) "move" to use the newly added vdev. It would work for something like a PBS datastore. These options could work: Rewriting data inside the VMs VM...
