    Ceph over multipath device or something else

    So could I create one LVM physical volume over the top of the OCFS2 volume directly into the /dev/mapper/STORAGE-DATA device? So basically pvcreate /dev/mapper/STORAGE-DATA and so on? What about GFS2? Do you consider it better than OCFS2? Thanks!

    Ceph over multipath device or something else

    Thanks! I will check. In your opinion, could I make a LVM physical volume over the OCFS2 volume? Thanks!

    Ceph over multipath device or something else

    Hi, I have 4 Proxmox servers, all connected to a Fiber Channel storage using multipath which is serving two volumes: STORAGE-DATA and STORAGE-DUMP. Every node is showing 4 sd* devices (2 per volume) and one mapper device per volume: root@node2:~# multipath -ll STORAGE-DATA...

    Why my ZFS dataset is consuming much more disk space?

    Thanks Fabian! I cannot understand how I can solve this problem: now I'm creating a new virtual machine on another server to solve the disk problem and I don't want to replicate this problem. Could you send me some hints on what I have to do to avoid this on the new server? I've just created a...

    Why my ZFS dataset is consuming much more disk space?

    Hi, my virtual machine has two ZFS drives, one 60 Gb and one 18 Tb: root@gus3:~# grep zfs /etc/pve/qemu-server/3001.conf virtio0: local-zfs:vm-3001-disk-0,size=60G virtio1: local-zfs:vm-3001-disk-1,size=18T I have 4 10 Tb disks on this server and I'm running out of disk space, so I'm...

    VMs on ZFS not booting after disk replacing

    Yes, it was turned off. Many years, more than 5, almost 7-8. I am using ECC memory. Thanks!

    VMs on ZFS not booting after disk replacing

    I understand that, but it's very strange that this happened after a disk replacement, isn't it?

    VMs on ZFS not booting after disk replacing

    Hi, on my Proxmox 6 system I have some ZFS pools, one of this is a raidz1 pool with 6 drives. One drive had a failure prediction on SMART so I replaced it with a new one following the guide at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS:_Tips_and_Tricks#Replacing_a_failed_disk_in_the_root_pool. After that...

    Mount ZFS snapshots inside VM

    Hi, is there a way to mount ZFS snapshots to be accessible from the VM? I know that snapshots on Proxmox are for the whole disk block and not for the single partition, but I'm wondering if there is a way to let users to access to snapshots themselves without mounting a snapshot from Proxmox...

    ZFS sync=disabled safeness

    No, I don't have a SLOG, do I need it even using SSD and NVMe drives?

    ZFS sync=disabled safeness

    Because I'm getting 10x fsyncs with sync disabled, and virtual machine are much much more faster.

    ZFS sync=disabled safeness

    Thanks. Could you help me to understand which are the possible events which causes last writes to be lost? Power interruption without UPS Hard shutdown Kernel crash on Proxmox host Kernel crash on virtual machine? Qm process or container kill from Proxmox host? Snapshot? Other? Are snapshots...

    ZFS sync=disabled safeness

    Hi, is it safe to set the ZFS sync as disabled on Proxmox 6 if I have a working UPS protection? I see that fsyncs increases a lot with sync disabled, will this corrupt some snapshot? Thanks!

    Cannot boot PVE 6 on a IBM server

    Hi, I installed PVE 6 with ZFS on two SSD drives on an IBM x3650 M3 server with a H200 SAS controller cross-flashed to IT mode. The installation process ended correctly but after the reboot the server does not boot, nor in UEFI mode nor in legacy mode. If the USB drive is plugged into the server...

    Does Proxmox need fast storage?

    Hi, I have a simple question which I would like to share with because I’m interested in you point of view. On a Proxmox server I have fast storage (SSDs or NVMe) and slow storage (SAS or SATA). My fast choice could be to install Proxmox on fast storage and use it also for storing virtual...

    Why my container is swapping?

    Thanks. Just to be sure: are you referring to the following workaround? Is it correct that I should apply this on the host node for Proxmox itself and containers and on VMs? Thanks!
