    Ceph Bluestore with Consumer SSD DBs?

    I can't recommend them pre se for Ceph. But I also never tried such a setup, or had to find a use-case for it. DB/WAL get a lot of small writes/reads. While the block part of the OSD gets mostly big writes/reads. On separating those two types, the performance may be increased as a whole. The...

    Setup für Ceph

    Es ist ja auch nicht geholfen, wenn wir den Sachverhalt NACH dem Kauf im Enterprise Support erörtern. :) Naja, nicht zu unterschätzen. Backup und Live Migration laufen da auch über das Management Netz. Da würde sich sicherlich eine weitere 10/25 GbE Karte rentieren. Speziell bei der Live...

    Proxmox and native (original) Ceph Octopus

    You could but we don't support it. This means, the first thing we tell you is to install our packages. ;) And our packages are almost similar upstream, mostly some cherry-picks that didn't make the cut. As with any software upgrade. :)

    Setup für Ceph

    Persönlich würde ich auf einen Epyc setzen. Höherer Base-Takt und mehr PCIe Lanes. Beides good für hyper-konvergente Setups. Auch ist mit NUMA und den beiden Sockets, das Latenz optimieren schwerer. Da es durchaus sein kann, dass das Netzwerk und die NVMe nicht auf der selben Node oder Socket...

    Proxmox Storage Disks how to.

    In ZFS terms, a raidz1. ECC does error correction on bits in memory, ZFS most likely will not be able to catch those and write corrupt data from memory to disk. But that is in principle with any other filesystem. The good part is ZFS will complain about it, since it has data integrity features...

    Problem with ceph cluster without quorum

    It's not a problem per se, it's how quorum works. This means, that you have created a split brain. No side has more than 50%, and therefore has no quorum. Also the Proxmox VE nodes won't have it. https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_quorum For Ceph and Proxmox VE (corosync)...

    Unable to restore a backup because of timeout when aloccate qcow2 disk

    The timeout came from waiting to find a lock on the image file. That appears not being created.

    Proxmox and native (original) Ceph Octopus

    We can only support our ceph packages. A pveceph install will take care of installing the Ceph packages from our repository. https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html#ceph_rados_block_devices What do you mean by that?

    [SOLVED] Mount a Ceph snapshot in a running LXC container

    rbd map --read-only <pool>/<snapshot> and snapshots you get by rbd ls -l.

    [SOLVED] Mount a Ceph snapshot in a running LXC container

    You will need to map (read-only) the snapshot on the Proxmox VE node and then copy the folder into the container. Safe in what way? And last but not least Proxmox VE 5.4 is long-time EoL.

    Swap behaviour on Hw ssd raid

    Then can I ask, did you read the article? The link points to the commit explaining that setting swappiness to 0 will not prevent swapping. It just makes it least aggressive but it will still swap if needed. And in general swap is a good thing but sometimes needs some tuning.

    nfs error in lxc

    It seems that running NFS-Ganesha in a container will need some relaxation of security. https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/nfs-ganesha-in-lxc/2401 https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/issues/420 Best to create a fresh privileged container. Or restore a container from backup by...

    Proxmox Storage Disks how to.

    That means on data redundancy. If one disk goes 'by by' then you have lost the data. Use ZFS, ECC is not a must to run ZFS. But it's recommended. Then you can create a mirrored setup for data redundancy. Well the steep curve is a lot of linux to learn.

    Xen to Prox

    The new virtual hardware needs to mirror the current setup on Xen. For reference: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE Another way to migrate the Win 2016 is to use the windows backup. Create the backup including the system state, install a new Win2016 on Proxmox and...

    New install, task pve-startall-de:993 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

    First thought, check your systems performance and hardware. Either it's overloaded or there is a hardware malfunction.

    Ceph-Cluster mit Mon-only-Node sinnvoll im Homelab?

    Wenns bloß zum spielen ist, dann kann ein Proxmox VE + Ceph cluster auch virtuell betrieben werden. Ceph services können auch unabhängig voneinander installiert werden. Aber ob das mit deiner Hardware so gut läuft ist eine andere Geschichte.

    Swap behaviour on Hw ssd raid

    That's the default setting. Adjusting the value depends upon the hardware and workload running on it.

    HA NFS service for KVM VMs on a Proxmox Cluster with Ceph

    This could probably be done by a VM template and involving the snapshot feature (contrary to naming). If it should not have a state. OFC, this will only be a good option if the VM isn't running for a long time. Since the temp. image is stored in /var/tmp/ (hardcoded) :/. If state is acceptable...

    Restore Default Storage Configuration

    I don't know what happened. So I can't say if a snapshot would have helped. And there is no factory reset.
