Going to assemble a new proxmox host soon and am planning to use a 256GB m.2 drive for booting system. Will have 4x1TB HDs for VM's (raid 10 zfs) . Will use ext USB drive for VM backups.. I have read that you should setup the system first, then connect the hds, reboot and configure storage ...

I am having the same issue - Did some updates on a new Debian10 container, rebooted, and same error,, I have an external USB connected to the proxmox host - I can seee the backups on the device when logged into the proxmox gui (in fact, I did a backup of the Debian CT on this device Which...

Thank you for the reply - I have not deided abt host #1, but good to know clusters support live migrations. My power supply arrived today, so lookes like a productive weekend is ahead.

THX - Looks like a nice backup solution .. I am retiring a 16GB / 2T ESXi box - think I will re-purpose with zfs. Also found a nice explanation on automating pve-zsync ...

I will be making another Proxmox host in the near future - I am planning to use the backup files on an external USB to restore the VM's on the new host -- (obviously being sure to shut them down on the first host.). First host is LVM, second I am planning to use ZFS (just bec I want to learn...

THX- This appears to require a cluster environment -- I will have 2 Proxmox boxes..one is using LVM ... would the pve-sync be possible in this environment ?

THX - I got the external dribe connected, mounted and have done a few backups to it -- still not sure on the recommended backup metod - this is a home lab, and I have no plm shutting down the VM or container before doing the backup ... I understand that stop mode is the best for consistency ..

Hello- May seem like a silly question - I am wondering if Proxmox uses ZFS, what the VM Backup process is - I was hoping to use a removable external USB 1TB hdd. Is this possible, or do I need to make backups to internal drive, then copy to external ? Could I use a NAS for backups ? THX as...

Thanks - that did the trick -- good to know..

Today I just noticed that the summary section of Datacenter says I am using 10.2 TB of 15 TB ... How can this be, when the total phusical storageis abt 6T ??? (4 spinning HD's ) When I goto the proxmox node, and look at Disks, all 4 are listed, with the correct capacities ... I do have...

Thanks ! This is just what I am planning, with perhaps a bit smaller-sized array...time to order the HD's

Thx - I remember someone at work telling me the same thing. Not all MB's made the same So I followed the advice, and made sure it supported NVMe before purchase .. so this is the MB I got, an MSI B450M Pro VDH-Plus and the specs show it supports NVMe as it brags " Turbo M.2: Running at PCI-E...

Thank you - and that is just what I was thinkung - I only have 4 on-board sata ports on the MB, so wanted to avoid getting a controller board..the MSI Motherboard does support boot from m.2, and it is my understanding that the recent Linux kernels support nvme boot. I was thinking that I might...

Wondering if it is advisable to build a new proxmox using a 256GB nvme m.2 as boot drive ? Still looking for a good guide to setting up storage properly in zfs. Does the m.2 get setup as zfs ? My idea was boot from m.2, and 4 sata devices connected (4 x 1 TB) raid 10 ... (I think ZFS uses a...

THX - still getting parts for the build.

Is the losing sata port issue true if you use a nvme-based M.2 ? I double-checked, and that is what was shipped.

Thanks - will pour through the list -- my needs are humble - just want to add a 5th HD to a ProxMox box which has all 4 sata ports occupied...

Thanks - I guess I found that not all SATA boards are Linux=compatible. Was wondering if anyone can suggest one that they know works in a Linux environment. THX,

Just got the same board for a new Proxmox build - will be interested in this thread .. I think I will go with the Ryzen 2200G - going to use ZFS this time, with M.2 device to boot.

Want to add sata Hard drive, and need additional SATA port. Can anyone recommend a proxmox-compatible pci-e SATA controller board ? all 4 SATA ports of my mb are populated. THX,
