    ZFS 2.4.0 Special Device + Data VDEV Report Very Wrong Remaining Space

    I reread the op and for the life of me I dont understand what you're asking. Actual free space is exactly what you think it is, but its not USABLE. Usable free space depends on the makeup of your data, since you have a special device that (presumably default) is eating all <128k writes. And...

    Ceph multi-public-network setup: CephFS on separate network

    I dont think that note is as wide in scope as the working seem to suggest. Public and Private (cluster) traffic dont need routability to each other to function, so you're safe on that front. Reading up further, monitors can only have one pinned IP, which means that while you can have multiple...

    Proxmox - crash disc

    if the original data was a zvol, you can just append .raw to the file. then you can use qemu-img to import the data to your new destination.

    Ceph multi-public-network setup: CephFS on separate network

    ceph allows multiple public networks. just make sure your monitors exist on whatever public network(s) you define. see https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/rados/configuration/network-config-ref/

    Mellanox ConnectX-3 & Proxmox 9.1

    Some things to consider: 1. Connectx3 cards were often shipped as VPI cards. what that means is that each port can operated as ethernet or IB. When set to auto mode (default) they will default to IB when no link is detected at boot. You can and should force the ports to the operating mode you...

    input/output error

    easy way to determine whats going on. OP please post the content of your vmid.conf for your ubuntu vm. If you ARE passing the drives to your VM, this behavior is consistent. mdadm is picking up the drive at pve boot, and then cutting them off when the vm is started for the passthrough, leading...

    Simple concept for manual, short term use failover without significant downtime?

    interesting idea. I dont know if the pve tooling would work for this but even if it doesn't it can be scripted relatively easily. I'd love you hear your success story if you'd be so kind to document :) Having said that, if PBS allows live access without restoral I'd say that would be the better...

    Simple concept for manual, short term use failover without significant downtime?

    I think you may be obsessing about the "performance" and "cost" aspects entirely too much. 1. What is the makeup of your payload? (number of vms, function, ACTUAL performance in IOPs) 2. a backup device MUST be a separate device then the primary, because, you know, it cant be both primary and...

    Best (most performant) way of sharing NAS storage to Windows 11 VM

    smh. as you please. I dont and cant provide benchmarks proving a negative. the claim was: without any proof. all I said that this didnt line up with my experience. and your counter is which is not AT ALL an endorsement of the original claim. I didnt claim it did either.

    Best (most performant) way of sharing NAS storage to Windows 11 VM

    No. I'm saying I saw no benefit using RDMA for SMB. If you are saying you have, it would be good to have repeatable tests to prove- It is entirely possible I didnt have a use case that could benefit. You cant both make a claim and ask someone else to prove/disprove it- you're the only one...

    Simple concept for manual, short term use failover without significant downtime?

    the relevant questions to ask: 1. Would you want the failover to occur automatically, or with user intervention? 2. What is an acceptable outage period? 3. What is acceptable in terms of minimum performance (specifically, disk performance) IF the acceptable outage period is not too short AND...

    How to set Swappiness permanent to 0 on Proxmox 9

    swap should be used sparingly if at all on a server device. If you run in a memory constrained environment, you will end up with unpredictable application performance. I dont set up swap on server at all. If I see OOMs I either move VMs or add ram.

    Making a Ugreen NAS available to proxmox VM

    the actual media resides on your nas. In order to have jellyfin function you need both jellyfin and the storage present; since your nas can run this function by itself you reduce the required number of devices to one by simply running the application on the storage. The only time it makes sense...

    Making a Ugreen NAS available to proxmox VM

    Realize that this creates a two system dependency for your application (jellyfin.) The correct (least dependencies) solution is to have the jellyfin container run on the nas. https://nas.ugreen.com/blogs/how-to/install-jellyfin-setup-step-by-step

    Best (most performant) way of sharing NAS storage to Windows 11 VM

    graphs dont show any likelihood of networking issues/starvation. if your storage isnt reporting any issues, thats not likely to be your problem.

    Best (most performant) way of sharing NAS storage to Windows 11 VM

    You havent really established this is a "storage" issue at all. your problem description, suggests the issue is with how your software interacts with the decoding and not so much with the storage; it COULD be the storage but you havent posted any diagnostic data to suggest it, namely- what are...

    Call for Evidence: Share your Proxmox experience on European Open Digital Ecosystems initiative (deadline: 3 February 2026)

    This is the expected reaction for anyone who hasnt been on the other side of this. REMEMBER, the PRIORITY of any change in systems is, in order: - to provide AT LEAST a minimum of service requirements, as delineated in the RFP. - to cause as little impact to users. lost productivity in the name...

    Proxmox Install Failing on R740xd - PERC H730P

    the (much) greater likelihood is that this disk is failing. have you run a smart test? (smarctl --test=long /dev/sda) Assuming the drives are NOT bad, next is to run a full lifecycle upgrade. has the problem gone away? If not, your machine is likely defective- and its probably NOT your perc...

    Proxmox VE 9.1.1 – Windows Server / SQL Server issues

    thats a completely normal behavior for windows. It happens to me on a desktop- explorer really likes to cross all the t's and dot all the i's. if you want faster file copy use a different tool (eg, robocopy.) Not sure if that relates to the initial topic, but this behavior is not at all relevant...
