Hang on - forget my question and thanks for your question. While looking to provide the asked information I only now became aware that I have an obsolete vm-xyz-0 dataset in my encrypted pool and as all other vms reside there I got used to only look in this pool. But as stated in the opening...

Hi, I still don't understand exactly how to use the -w switch. Probably it has to be done in console, and it's possibly not something that can be put somewhere in a file or something in order to continue to use the webinterface of ProxMox to a) configure replication of vm's to both nodes and...

We have the following setup. The unencrypted root/boot pool rpool is on a separate disk. What we want is to have the datapool which is setup on two separate mirrored disks, will be encrypted. So the workflow when rebooting a node will be to unencrypt the datapool by load-key anyway. What and...

I have an OPNsense VM which is residing on a small, unencrypted mirror root/boot pool, which was created by the ProxMox installer. The two disks on this proxmox box have a small partition each -> rpool boot pool. The second, big partitions, containing the rest of the disk are part of a...

In comment 13 of the mentioned bug report there I read Can someone explain me what that means, and if this could be an intermediate solution until the pull request will be done? Could somebody please describe this solution? I also would apreciate any comment on wether this is a good solution...

Thank you very much Dunuin, I modified the script as you suggested and it works fine! I really appreciate your help very much!! :) Now one last thing. We plan to alternate two removable medias daily, thus the destroying of snapshots the way it is implemented to just keep the number of KEEPOLD...

So for local snapshotting to a usb stick the script works as intended - including importing an encrypted zpool thanks to your tip, Dunuin. Now I have another requirenement. I have to make the script working on a remote host meaning. The script has to run on a server1 where the removable media...

Perfect. Did not find that info in man myself, thats why I want to warmly thank you for providing me this very useful information.

I have a question on zfs and thought as many use zfs here and some may have good knowledge on zfs maybe someone has an easy answer for me. I know that there is the -r switch for destroying snapshots including its children, meaning the following snapshots. What I’d like to know, if there is an...

Hi Dunuin, thanks for your post. Being not skilled in scripting - could you give me an expample on how this would work with piping or linking me where I could read and learn about ?

We would like to create an encrypted pool with password -> prompt and then automate the zfs load-key step (no prompting for password but getting it from a file or hardcoded in a bash script). Is this possible? I tried creating a file and with the password in it. and then zfs load-key...

Could I kindly ask for some hint to push me to the right direction on above request? :)

I found a nice script that mostly does what we want. But I have to automate the snapshoting on a proxmox server further thus I 'd like to adapt the following script to our needs. First thing is we need to do the backups on an encrypted pool, so adding a line with: zfs load-key $BACKUPPOOL is...

Thanks for your comment that explains all. If stored in the datastore.cfg I'll have to check and recreate it. I did not think about that and possibly I had created the copy of the cfg before having defined prune and gc settings. Thanks and sorry for the dump question then. ;)

anyone please ?

The last question was answered here

After removing an external, removable usb disk and plugging it later when a new sync is due, I come from realizing that the prune and gc settings are lost. Why is that and how can I avoid this? As you planed to implement some kind of procedure to disable/enable a (removable) datastore I hope...

understood. Thanks for clarifying :)

Just to clarify - you mean as the following message which appears just after the last error message indicates the the sync finished successfully, then I can ignore it, right?: 2020-12-19T22:15:02+01:00: Starting datastore sync job 'local:pbs-backup:sandisk:s-f0eb4571-25bf'...

Hm, well the client and the server is on the same machine, as I configured a remote -> localhost as workaround to be able to sync the datastore content to an offline medium. So am I supposed to just ignore those kind of messages, or can I do something to make them disapear?
