Hmm, didn't think about that. Although I am not sure how how badly it would break the VMs running on it. I'll look into it but so far I'm leaning towards using this as an opportunity to try out the "Live Restore" feature of Proxmox Backup Server. Another silly question though - is it possible...

Howdy folks. For years I have been using ZFS replication, has all worked great, been a happy chap. One of the frustrating things that I recall having to deal with is that pools had to have the same names to be used for ZFS replication within Proxmox. I recently had a situation where I had an...

If anyone is reading this thread from the future, the answer to this is to switch to using Proxmox Backup Server.

Yeah, it's not fast. I don't think my storage is a bottleneck. IO Delay is peaking at 0.8% during backups which barely registers. My CPU usage on the other hand...

Greetings! I currently have a Proxmox environment backing up to a Proxmox Backup Server that appears to be CPU limited. The specs of this system are as follows: Intel Celeron J3060 Dual Core @ 2.48Ghz 8GB RAM 128GB SSD Boot Drive 3x 4TB HDDs in ZFS RAIDz1 During backups it is not uncommon for...

I can't believe this is STILL a problem in 2024!

I know this is an older thread by now but damn - this situation came up for me today and it looks like I'll be waiting 48 hours to restore a 70GB boot drive because I must also restore the 2.5TB of related disks along with it... not cool!

Any idea if this is still a problem in Proxmox 8?

The trouble is most likely with the driver that powers Nvidia Kepler-based GPUs. I know plenty of low-power models are in various servers still to this day. Pascal and above had a different driver so most likely not affected.

As much as I'd like to just use one pool with two separate zvols, this doesn't make sense when you have SSD only and HDD only storage tiers. You would cripple the performance of the SSDs by throwing HDDs into the same zpool. Unless there is a feature I don't know about that lets you specify...

Oh man I just realised how long this has been an issue for... I would love this feature to happen.

Well I don't think it's possible to have two zpools on the same system that are the same name, unless I am mistaken? In which case I may have to concede the ability to have HA for archive data? A plan I don't really like but will run with if I have no other choice

I'm afraid I am a bit confused by this response. ZFS is a filesystem, I understand that. What I am trying to determine is whether it is possible to have a zpool with multiple datasets, where some datasets are replicated to other hosts with different storage configurations, and some are not, and...

Howdy folks. I just wanted to quickly check that my thinking is correct before I take the plunge with trying to get this setup. At the moment I have 3 Proxmox 8 nodes in a cluster, and I wish to setup VMs and storage that will replicate between Node 1 & 2. Node 3 is just for quorum / monitoring...

You can definitely run PBS on the same host, just a bit of extra hassle when it does go down. Personally I'd install PBS on a second machine and just configure it to be powered off most of the time, have it power off the moment it has finished backups. That way if you have a failure on your main...

Thanks for the update, really appreciate that. I will certainly check it out.

Agreed. Since you are a paying subscriber, perhaps you could raise a support ticket? A fix for this is certainly overdue...

An older post - but does Cockpit work OK on Proxmox 8? A bit scared to break things.

Ouch, okay. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will have to configure weekly reboots and let VMs swap within the VM instead.

Sorry, a bit confused by this statement. I have 2x 250GB SSDs in a ZFS RAID1 that I am booting from. I'd like to add a swap volume within ZFS. Am I opening myself up to issues? Only using 50GB at the moment so there is plenty of free space.
