    Best use of 4x NVMe drives

    default ext4/Lvmthin for datastore will be fine and the fastest. e.g: 500G for PVE and iso (custom sizes at install : disk = 400G and maxvz = 0 to not create the default local-lvm Datastore on the 500G ) 1 Lvmthin datastore per 1TB NVMe Restore backup from PBS in case of emergency.

    CPU Arguments cuts passthroughed NVMe performance by 4 times

    Seems nested virt. active by default since Win11. Try 'max' vcpu type : cpu: max args: -cpu max,-hypervisor

    Proxmox VE 9.1.1 – Windows Server / SQL Server issues

    "host" vcpu type for Win11/Win2025 guests is slower than x86-64-v2-aes/v3 ( best is "max" ) because nested virtualization is often active because of VBS, where other vcpu type prevent nested virt.

    [SOLVED] PBS - Mounting Windows SMB Share as Datastore

    No problems and reliable here with two small cases for Sync Job over SMB over WAN , a not optimal path and not recommended but works fine and speed is honorable : 1/ since 3y : Datastore over SMB over WAN, Sync from local Datastore USB HDD ( ~2H daily for 15~20GB pulled said in summary sync job...

    EDIT: Dit you add back the Datastore in the PBS side ? with "Avdanced" tick to reveal "Reusing existing datastore"

    Backup sync performance over VPN

    Fleecing mitigates, but the recommended and safest is local BPS backup then Sync over WAN/VPN. Fleecing from the docs : When a backup for a VM is started, QEMU will install a "copy-before-write" filter in its block layer. This filter ensures that upon new guest writes, old data still needed for...

    Guidance for upgrade from Server 2022 to 2025 on ProxMox?

    "max" should be the best performance. "x86-64-v2" without aes is for ancient cpu, what is your real cpu ?

    Guidance for upgrade from Server 2022 to 2025 on ProxMox?

    "host" is not more the fastest since Windows latest version often enables virtualization which triggers the unwanted nested virtualization.

    Proxmox VE 9.1.1 – Windows Server / SQL Server issues

    Don't forget to enable "Max Performance profile" in BIOS and double check if Disk Writecache is enabled, often it's disabled because designed for RAID embedded cache usage. BTW, I repeat, try with Lvmthin before all the tuning about ZFS. It could be that your problem is elsewhere.

    QEMU Guest agent causing performance issues through cloudflare-based RDP

    I don't see the relationship with the Agent. is PVE firewall enabled ? is RDP over UDP used ?
