    One time pve-zsync error.

    Yes, if there are snapshots on one side, but not the other, it won't work. Remove the snapshots on the source side, then it will work to the remote side. There might be a better way, but not one as simple.

    Does it exist both on the original and the destination servers?

    [SOLVED] Optimal Disk Layout to avoid troubles with Storage Migration

    If you go into the hardware settings for the virtual machine and edit the settings for the hard disk, you can choose a caching method.

    [SOLVED] Optimal Disk Layout to avoid troubles with Storage Migration

    Thanks @wolfgang. Yes, I do use write-back - I'd seen a few recommendations for it. I'll turn it off on the next reboot cycle, and also hard code the ARC size.

    What is best performing file system for Proxmox 5.2 on 4 x NVMe SSD Drives?

    I wouldn't do RAID-Z, I'd set up mirrored vdevs, and stripe them.

    [SOLVED] Optimal Disk Layout to avoid troubles with Storage Migration

    Thanks Wolfgang. As part of troubleshooting, I have zfs_arc_max currently set as either 25% or 50% of the system memory. zfs_arc_min is dynamic. The systems have plenty of free memory. This is the same behavior that drove me to upgrade from consumer SSDs to enterprise ones. Things improved a...

    [SOLVED] Optimal Disk Layout to avoid troubles with Storage Migration

    Thanks @wolfgang 1) 128GB RAM - 32 allocated for ARC, 64 for virtual machines, 32 left free 2) Swapping is kept to a minimum on both host and vm's. Swappiness of 1 set. I did just turn off swap on the Proxmox hosts as I saw recommended elsewhere as it was the default rpool/SWAP, but haven't...

    [SOLVED] Optimal Disk Layout to avoid troubles with Storage Migration

    Help! :) I have four servers with 3x drive bays and have them populated with either 2x Samsung SM863 or 2x Intel S3610. The drives are set up as a ZFS mirrored vdev with both ROOT and data being on the pair. One bay is open on each server. Normally I/O load on each server is low - iowait is...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox doesn't see all my ram

    Also make sure you're not allocating the 'missing' 4GB to onboard graphics in your BIOS Settings.

    325GB of free RAM but "insufficient memory" for new VMs

    Try: "echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to do a relatively safe and quick cache flush. You'll be able to start the VM after that. Proxmox is a touch dumb about not starting a VM when OS memory caches are full, but there's plenty of memory.

    ZFS & AMD Ryzen/Threadripper?

    So long as the MB supports it, ECC works fine on Ryzen/Threadripper. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6f7s28/what_is_the_state_of_ryzen_and_ecc/ I just wish there was a Threadripper MB with IPMI. I don't need the PCI-E lanes of Epyc, just raw CPU power.

    Pve kernel 4.15.17 comes with high and unstable disk latency.

    Do you have PTI enabled? Turn it off and see if that fixes it. We took a 30% hit when we enabled Spectre/Meltdown mitigation. Same symptoms you're seeing.

    Backing up proxmox (the host itself) - what and how?

    If you're using ZFS, you could just snapshot the root and send it elsewhere for backups.

    iothreads - how to backup?

    If you're using ZFS, you can use pve-zsync. It's working well for me along with having iothreads enabled. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PVE-zsync
