    Default zfs compression

    As mentioned by LnXBill about 5 years ago, you can verify compression with the get feature command offered in OpenZFS on Linux. root@proxmox:/# zpool get feature@lz4_compress rpool NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool feature@lz4_compress active local...

    Windows Server Backup Shows 20+GiB dirty between backups within a couple hours!

    You sir, just answered many questions in one post. Thank you, I have a related question regarding block sizes that I will create another post for, it concerns Ceph and SSD wearout and I think your point about larger blocks underneath virtual storage might be responsible for my SSDs wearing out...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Very good answer, thank you sir. For "future prediction", PVE already does a good job with this when it snapshots guest disks, it creates the dirty bitmap and therefore knows the required space, but as you said a deletion loop sounds like someone asking for trouble My thoughts were from a...

    [SOLVED] Siimultaneous Spice Client Connections

    You are better off with x2go or xrdp or at worst case scenario VNC for what you want. It sounds like you're looking for a terminal server, Gilberto. On another note, I am interested in supporting Spice users on Proxmox by sharing the same display and came across this thread as well. I believe...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Of course, including my home country for some legal information. That's why you would keep the original retention system, probably you could force it to be "either or" rather than both or removing the old methodology. Perhaps I'm missing the issue. I could see diffs having dependencies, but I'm...

    Windows Server Backup Shows 20+GiB dirty between backups within a couple hours!

    Hi Everyone, Something startling has occurred that I cannot seem to figure out. While reviewing backup logs, a specific Windows Server was backing up more data than expected, so I manually ran my backup task to PBS before today's nightly backup. After a successful backup of 170GiBs, I noticed...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Well... You can make it occur within any period and set pruning + gc as a task prior to your backup. If they would implement the feature and a user configured a capacity limit instead of # of backups, patching the backup system to force a prune+gc schedule to just before the backup would be...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Hi Dominik, Ok, so what you are saying is that enforcing such a limit would be impractical because removing the oldest data before trying to backup might not provide enough space, so then you would have to continuously remove backups until there was enough space for the latest copy? Or is it...

    Plans to add Backup Storage Usage limit instead of retention numbers?

    Hi Everyone, Recently a thought crossed my mind while tuning a Proxmox Backup Server at one site and a Proxmox Virtual Environment server at another site: sometimes it is difficult to gauge the amount of disk space required while configuring backup retention. Some backup solutions, such as...

    [SOLVED] Renaming node ambiguity in documentation

    Hi Everyone, In the documentation https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Renaming_a_PVE_node there is a section that describes moving a node's /var/lib/rrdcached/db/pve2-node (and pve2-storage) sub-directory contents to the new hostname. However, I am unsure if it also needs rrdcached/db/pve#-* to be...

    Backup PVE using PBS

    Hi Tacioandradre, Oh my goodness, I mistook Portuguese for Spanish! My sincerest apologies for such a miscommunication, I also misinterpreted what you had originally said so I appreciate the clarification. Now I understand the commentary more clearly, can you elaborate on how you backup your...

    Backup PVE using PBS

    No hablo español con fluidez, sin embargo, parece que puede estar hablando de algo que no tiene nada que ver. Este hilo trata sobre la copia de seguridad de un hipervisor Proxmox Virtual Environment, no solo de un cliente normal. En otra nota, estoy confundido acerca de por qué necesita Open...

    Are there any plans to support virgl?

    Closer every day to progress, very good eye Garuda! The virgl flag is set, and there is no PCIe pass-through! Marvellous, I can't want to see what comes of this (stability mostly) and I will pursue is very quickly after launch.

    Compression accelerator for PVE Backups

    Hey Everyone, PCIe accelerator cards of all shapes and sizes interest me, mostly because CPUs are these hulking beasts that handle significant amounts of processing and they are constantly taxed from "side" or "auxiliary" workloads outside of their primary tasks. Take a hypervisor, proxmox...

    Sharing Proxmox Helper Scripts

    Please note: After a brief inspection, there are a few things to edit in these scripts and acknowledge. The LXC scripts download other smaller scripts within them. E.g. to setup the services within the VM (for Jellyfin, Pi-Hole, etc) you should inspect these scripts for yourself. These...
