    Storage best practices for large setups

    OK, what's a big deployment in your case? Also how fast is the network connection you are using, 25 GbE, 100 GbE or even faster? I have lot's of experience with CEPH but only with a fraction of the capacity needed now, about 30-40TB. With capacity needs which are 20 times more, I'm fairly...

    Storage best practices for large setups

    Thanks a lot for that tip! Blockbridge sounds really interesting. You also write that you are actually using Blockbridge. Any notable requirements or things to consider when designing a solution with it? Which integration are you using in Proxmox for that storage?

    [SOLVED] cannot create lvm on top of iscsi volume

    Hello, thank you for your fast reply. Normally I would use multipath only when the system is aware that there are multiple connections to the target, like a typical FC or FCoE setup. However in my case I'm using LACP bonding on the hosts and also LACP on the storage. Rgardless, I'll try to use...
