    Replacement for Intel SSD DC S3610

    I'm not sure where you have those data from, but I downloaded Intel spec sheet, and it says 3DWPD for both S3610 and S4600. Concerning NANDs, there has been big progress over last years. I'd say today's top 3d-TLC is quite comparable to 4 years old HE/MLC. So imho yes, S4600 can be considered as...

    SAS or SATA disks

    By "error reporting and recovery" I mean errors concerning data stored on disk. Not everything in SMART is error reporting (i.e. load-cycles, writes, temperature, etc). Moreover, SAS is using SCSI-commands for error reporting and recovery, which is by far superior over SMART used in SATA-drives...

    SAS or SATA disks

    SAS has definitely some advantages over SATA, i.e. better error recovery/reporting, full-duplex/half-duplex, higher signaling voltage (longer cables), etc...

    ZFS: Automatic Snapshot including RAM?

    AFAIK, on PVE there is no way of creating snapshot of running VM (be it KVM or LXC) including VM-memory. Because of this, I still have to use vSphere/ESXi where VM-downtime is unacceptable, yet I must be sure my backups are consistent...

    Firewall Alias with Domainname

    I'm not sure if you can use domainnames in iptables (I guess no), but it is very-very bad idea. First, it would have bad impact on speed (if firewall does ip-lookup whenever rule is matched) or did not help you at all (if firewall does ip-lookup only once, when loading rules). Moreover, by...

    PVE uses swap while RAM is*enough, why?

    I really do not understand this whining about swap over and over again... If you do not want to see swap being used, simply buy more ram and disable swap completely!

    Ballooning not working on windows KVM

    My TaskManager shows "total", "cached", "available", and "free" memory. Not "used". That's why I asked how you figured it...

    Ballooning not working on windows KVM

    Q1: How did you figure that "used" in Windows? Q2: What does "free -h" in Proxmox say?

    [SOLVED] Possible slow down due tue zfs compression

    Slightly OT, but when talking about ZFS & Compression: It seems ZSTD is comming to OpenZFS (smaller and faster compression developed by Facebook). Probably first to BSD, not sure when it comes to ZoL...

    Monthly server lockups

    OP did not say anything about other filesystems. Even you said nothing about "other mainstream file systems" in your first post in this thread. So quite logicaly, I never compared ZFS with any other filesystem and I could not leave anything important. I just commented the fact OP is using ZFS on...

    Monthly server lockups

    Yes, correct. That's what I said, and what you can find on openzfs-dev web. Now explain where and when I said: "...and would not lead to data loss when using other mainstream *nix filesystems like EXT4."

    Never claimed that. Check again what I wrote above...

    Monthly server lockups

    It *does* matter if you run ZFS on HW-raid or not! And it is not just about some features missing. ZFS was designed from scratch with intention of having direct unrestricted (unfiltered) access to underlying hardware (hdd/ssd). Having ZFS on top of HW-raid means in the worst case you might loose...

    [SOLVED] Swappiness question

    I think this definition is "less logical". I'd expect "swappines 0" to swap only when it is absolutely (!) necessary. Why should I keep 60 (%/kB/MB/whatever) free?

    Monthly server lockups

    That could be the reason: combination of ZFS & hw-raid should be avoided...

    HIGH MEMORY CONSUMPTION IN KMV WITH WINDOWS

    And where on the image you see that? I do not speak spanish/portuguese (or whatever language it is), yet I see your Windows-VM reports ~1.8GB free memory out of 4GB, so it is using ~2.2GB. That's much more than your 200-450MB...

    ZFS-pool on single partition of single disk??? That does not make much sense...

    HIGH MEMORY CONSUMPTION IN KMV WITH WINDOWS

    So you created Windows-VM with 4GB RAM, and now you are surprised Windows is trying to use those 4GB RAM, right?

    Five Newbie Questions

    Ad.3: From my understanding, Proxmox can not be hardened enough to have its management-port (and kvm-port) facing internet with no other protection. It was never designed to protect itself alone (this holds true for many hypervisors, i.e. esxi, xen, etc). If you check any common unix/linux...
