    Fresh Proxmox, NVME & SSD Backups at 30MB/s (slow)

    It looks like your disks, are the issue here. From your fio output: sync_seqwrite: (g=0): rw=write, bs=(R) 4096KiB-4096KiB, (W) 4096KiB-4096KiB, (T) 4096KiB-4096KiB, ioengine=psync, iodepth=1 WRITE: bw=26.2MiB/s (27.5MB/s), 26.2MiB/s-26.2MiB/s (27.5MB/s-27.5MB/s), io=5120MiB (5369MB)...

    Fresh Proxmox, NVME & SSD Backups at 30MB/s (slow)

    Hi, I've been trying really hard to overcome this myself, but here I am. Please halp. I'm setting up a new install of Proxmox 8.1.3 on Dell R720. I'm expecting significantly higher speeds than what I'm getting during ZSTD backups. Currently there is only one container in it (at idle). Nothing...

    How to decide disk size for new install

    Totally depends on what you want to store on it. In my opinion plenty of space for MQTT, HassOS and grafana. For good performance get an enterprise grade SSD otherwise writing to DBs won't be that great as consumer SSDs can't cache sync writes.

    Recommendations on the best storage configuration

    Thats possible but dedicated system disks would be better in case you got 2 small spare disks for a mirror. If not I would prefer to use the this striped mirror over a single system disk. Yes, thats what I would do if you have to stick with those diska you got. Maybe also add 2 additional SSDs...

    Initial Setup of Proxmox Homelab (Services and Configuration)

    OpenVPN is the very old well supported standard. Wireguard is modern, way faster and easier to set up. I don't get why people like PhotoPrism. Didn't found a good selfhosted Photo Management Software yet. DigiKam got all the nice features but isn't selfhosted (except you set up a VM for an...

    Initial Setup of Proxmox Homelab (Services and Configuration)

    Hey folks, I'm looking to set up Proxmox on bare metal and create multiple virtual machines (VMs) for different services like Ubuntu/Debian servers for various purposes. My aim is to use this as a general-purpose homelab, running services like firewall, VPN, media server, file hosting...

    installation of 2 servers for school. Solid advice welcome

    So instead of ordering 1 expensive Dell/HP server I decided to buy 2 identical more consumer grade servers. Purpose is that if one fails the other takes over. Main components: MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Processor (32 threads) 192 gig DDR5 RAM Crucial MX500 250GB SSD (boot) 2...

    [SOLVED] Advice on configuration for Proxmox VE

    I find this kind of unsolicited part of repeated input you got somewhat good for bad aftertaste only (no hard feelings @LnxBil). You asked for advice on how to run what you have, you explained yourself you are not choosing hardware, yet not once, but twice you get the snide remark like the SSD...

    rpool DEGRADED ('label is missing or invalid' - 'part of active pool' error when trying to replace)

    Whats the output of ls -la /dev/disk/by-id and proxmox-boot-tool status? And "SanDisk SDSSDH3" is the old healty disk? What is that "MT-2TB" SSD? According to your first post the failed SSD was a "MT-2TB". And your latest screenshot shows the new replaced SSD is a "MT-2TB" too. Did you buy the...

    [SOLVED] Advice on configuration for Proxmox VE

    The problem is also the write amplification common in non-enterprise SSDs. For RAID10, you need 4 disks, als you already wrote. RAID10 is not directly possible with ZFS, a stripped mirror, however, is possible. The difference is the number of vdevs. A pool consists of at least one vdev. If you...

    [SOLVED] Advice on configuration for Proxmox VE

    I wouln't say exorbitant but given that it is normal for Proxmox VE to write 30GB/day (as I have read on the forum and also being the reason why consumer grade disks are not recommended) when idle and possibly having just one SSD for Proxmox with no redundancy it is best to minimize the wear on...

    Help finding the right configuration

    If you care about downtime, yes. All configurations are stored there, even the ones needed for the VMs. On the other disks will only be the virtual disks. And there is no official way yet to backup/restore a PVE host nor to export/import configs. You can create a software raid1 using ZFS/btrfs...

    100 times write amplification using ZFS

    I have enterprise grade for other PVE but this one uses consumer Crucial P1 500 GB CT500P1SSD8 ssd. Which doesn't have power loss protection. I'm using UFS for OPNsense as ZFS on ZFS seemed bad idea.

    Extremely Slow SSD Write Speed in VM

    Nice prices, I’ll do some searching but prices are still more for me in the UK.

    [SOLVED] Windows VM I/O problems only with ZFS

    I don't totally agree. ZFS was created to work with spinning disks that are much slower than the SSDs used in my tests. And I've used in the past many times even with 5.4k rpm drives without issues. After reducing the "zfs_dirty_data_max" the issue has gone and the system simply "run as fast...

    Extremely Slow SSD Write Speed in VM

    PM883 960GB is 74€. 870 EVO 1TB is 69€. 870 QVO 1TB is 57€. Its never a good idea to buy any QLC SSD, even if you save 12€ per TB. And no point to buy a consumer TLC SSD if you can get a proper Enterprise grade TLC SSD for just 5€ more.

    NVMe SSD performance the worse (in my case)

    Hello, I just completed a fresh install of 7.4-17 on my HPE DL360Gen9. PVE is installed in HPE 12Gb/s SAS HDD. LXC 1 is installed in an ancient consumer grade 240GB SATA SSD running in SSF bay. LXC 2 is installed in a brand new SK-Hynix Gold P31 2TB NVMe SSD installed in an Jeyi NVMe SSD...

    Storage Upgrade Recommendations
