    [SOLVED] Proxmox and OPNsense - Network speed issue

    Hello zhihuiyuze, I'm facing similar issues as you, low throughput in opnsense using virtio on vmbr. But I'm unable di use your settings above as it breaks network connectivity for me... To confirm, would you please kindly share your /etc/network/interfaces file here so I could try to...

    Virtio performance and offloading

    Nope, never dreamed about that, just trying to achieve 10G networking on the same motherboard instead of the current less than gigabit performance I'm getting. An actual E100 physical gigabit NIC is faster than my current virtio setup, I think my goal of being faster is achievable as explained I...

    Virtio performance and offloading

    Hello, I have a virtualized opnsense router and can't seem to manage to get decent performance while routing packets between vlans. On PvE I defined vmbr0 auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet manual bridge-ports bond0 bridge-stp on bridge-fd 0 bridge-vlan-aware yes...

    ZFS advice ?

    Hi all. I'm looking for help as I'm new to zfs. I have a 20TB HDD that I will reformat with zfs and aim at storing some VM disks and backups as well as my data that is nicely split in directories like video, photo, music, documents, docker-volumes... Right now all are under...

    Help choosing filesystem

    Hello, I have a small homelab cluster running a single HA VM for home-assistant as my lights depends on it's zigbee2mqtt plugin.Besides that one VM, I'm mostly running CTs but nothing of critical importance. I had a ceph setup but on my commodity hardware and gigabit network it's dead slow even...

    Cluster of 2 not for HA

    PvE host is on my servers VLAN separate from my Clients VLAN where my NAS lives because historical reasons and poor discovery on windows/samba part. So servers don't need a router to work together, but to get to internet or to provide services to clients then yes router is needed and the router...

    Cluster of 2 not for HA

    I expect to leave the second node off for the majority of the time, it's going to be powered on when I'm away (home assistant will schedule that) to keep a remote access in case something breaks. It already happened, my PSU of course waited for me to be away on holiday to fail last year...Cheap...

    Cluster of 2 not for HA

    My understanding was that a node will not start any VM unless quorum is achieved, in my case the impact is that from cold start, if I start only one of the 2 nodes it will not start the VM/CT that are set to start on boot as it doesn't have quorum. I will test that anyway I now have an unused 3...

    Cluster of 2 not for HA

    TLDR: is there a "clean" way to not require quorum or always achieve quorum with a single node? Clustering and HA is nice but in my homelab setup, there is no way to achieve network filesystem with reasonable performance at achievable price and power usage. I do have a cluster of 3 nodes with...

    Random Networking issues

    Hello, I'm facing some strange random networking issues with LXCs on my PVE cluster not able to communicate. For instance, sometimes, 10.0.10.51 which is a LXC will not be able to communicate with 10.0.1.23 which is one of my switches. When this occurs, I see no trafic at all coming in on the...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Got myself a +1 on btrfs storage replication. Will need to read about ZFS understand your pmxcf thing before I attempt ZFS, let's see which comes first, btrfs or me trying to learn ZFS

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Thanks a lot, it's gonna be a lot of reading (young dad here spends more time with the baby than the homelab) I've read other users more versed in ZFS and using commodity hardware as I am and they all seem to get speed issues with ZFS probably due to the write amplification. So btrfs seems...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Wow, thanks @tempacc346235 but this does seems more involved than I envisioned, probably the reinstall node by node is more feasible for me in the end, but thanks again that is indeed the exact answer to my original question! A bit frightened by your warnings that ZFS would be slow for me...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Do you have maybe a tool to follow that up? I do have a Prometheus and node exporter, I could graph the before and after Isn't most of this overhead due tu actual redundancy? I'm not sure what the verbiage is in ZFS terms but I'm planning for a single disk no redundancy, if you were doing the...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Thanks @Dunuin , if the local-lvm can't be shrunk to make room for a new ZFS, I fear the full reinstall route is the only way to go for me, I don't have extra disks on theses machines, only a single SATA port... I did plan to do it node by node indeed as @leesteken also mentioned, I don't have...

    LVM ext4 to ZFS ?

    Hi, I am running an LXC with frigate and would like to make it Highly Available using the lukewarm replication of the FS as my attempts with ceph are producing slow results (cheap SSD, 1GB Ethernet...) I just realized this relies on snapshots from ZFS, meaning my existing ext4 installs (3nodes)...

    accessing NFS share (Synology) from a Debian 11 VM for use with sonarr/plex/download clients

    Not sure how to help, got NFS working from my syno, ensure the IP you set in NFS access rights on syno is the correct one (might be NAT somewhere on your network for example...) I use fstab to mount it it works fine inside my VM : <ip-of-the-syno>:/volume1/shareA /mnt/syno/shareA nfs...

    Passthrough USB device to LXC keeping the path /dev/bus/usb/00x/00y

    Hello, I'mtrying to passthrough a USB TPU (Google Coral) to my frigate LXC. Now the fun thing is that it sometimes it tends to change in which order it's being detected, so my config mounting /dev/bus/usb/002/002 to the lxc works fine untill for some reason the device becomes accessible under...

    I/O and usage of a particular VM Disk

    Hello, I'd like to track the usage of some VM disks, in terms of I/O, bandwith, maybe latency, and see over a few days or weeks what is actually being used by my VM in term of storage performance. I would like to know this for my homeassistant VM as well as my main docker host VM (running...

    HA cluster when virtualizing the router?

    I'm thinking of buying a third machine to build myself a HA cluster of PVE. The main reason is to have high availability for my HomeAssistant VM. I'm running on gigabit Ethernet at max so I expect disk performance to be quite limited but I believe HomeAssistant will cope quite well with it. My...
