    Making ZFS mirror from 2x 4TB disks and 1x 8TB disk

    I could be wrong but to have a 4TB + 4TB strip mirror to 8TB is like have a 4TB nvme drive mirrored to 4TB hard drive ?

    Best practises for proxmox disk file system?

    I would use the smallest drive for boot only and use the fastest drive for running the VMs off , one thing I have learnt is never store you backup and VMs on the boot drive , because if you corrupt your boot drive it is very difficult to get to your backups and a reinstall deletes the lot. So...

    ZFS SMART values .

    Was doing a little checking of the smart values of my disks in my ZFS arrays , a have a 12TB iron wolf mirror array for backups and slow media where I don't need the fast IO , How I think ZFS works is it should read and write to both drives at the same time , but looking at the smart value I'm a...

    zfs pool wont mount, all disks healthy

    Hi , the assigned to LMs is 100% on mine , it's the amount assigned to the LMs not the amount used in the LMs, From the last time my system went wrong I've learned one thing , never store any VMs , Backups on the boot drive , that way if it get totally messed up it's sometime easier to nuke from...

    IOMMU passthrough HDD

    I guess the answer is it depends on the controller and if you can separate your proxmox boot drive from what you are passing via iommu. if you are booting from a nmve drive you should have a free sata controller to pass, but looking at my system most of the chip set is on the same iommu group ...

    SATA interface or SSD defect?

    Had the same problem with a 870_qvo_4tb , but I think it is controller related too , because I don't have the same problem on the Ryzen , it looks to be intel cpus . So added this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet libata.force=noncq" to grub.

    [SOLVED] stupid people win stupid prizes .

    Hi , not heard of Veeam before , does it backup the main proxmox disk or does it backup the lot , zpools and all ? That is the first and last I'll do that ( hopefully ) , so MC looks like the way to go , I was lucky that I think it crashed the system before it got to my zpools. Now it's time to...

    Create Pool

    Yes , 3 disks equals 2 disks of data and 1 disk for parity ( but more like 7.7tb ), so if anyone disk fails you can regenerate the failed disk , BUT if a second disk dies while you are regenerating your data, all is lost . SO YES IF ONLY 1 DISK ( raidx1). If a disk dies , you need to replace the...
