Hi @Mr.Goodcat just wondering if you are using the onboard SATA ASMEDIA for ZFS? have any other issues popped up ? ""Cheers G

thanks mate that worked. for what ever reason the enterprise repo was disabeled, no idea why as its a new install and is normally enabled by default. any hoo, uncommitted it ran apt update && apt full-upgrade and problem resolved :) thanks for the heads up, i may not have checked the repos...

Hey @wolfgang would there be any reason why our 6.2-4 wont upgrade to the latest 6.3-2. not sure why but we have 1 host that upgraded to 6.3-2 and another that wont upgrade past 6.2-4. have rebooted and tried the apt update && apt full-upgrade still no luck we keep getting the below output...

not sure if you have capacity or ability to test ZFS over iSCSI. If you are not running LACP you may be able to. It will give you native ZFS features on shared storage. COW, Snapshots, Replication etc just food for thought :) good luck with the upgrade. ""Cheers G

from my understanding each vm will have its own zvol so basically it’s a volume to it self. yes for snapshots and rollback for an individual vm. if my understanding is correct the benefit to this is granular Management of the vm storage, replication can be set at the TrueNas/FreeNas layer...

How are you connecting to the TrueNas storage array? iscsi, nfs, ZFS over iSCSI? iscsi normally can have the time outs adjusted to be more or less, default time out on VMware is about 20 sec. normally with dual controller modules active/ passive or active/active the failover between...

Good find!

sorry let me clarify. internal comms to local local VM's there will be no loss of performance as its just an internal bridge nothing leaves the host or even the Nic so you shoudl get native IO speed on the host which will be greater than the Nic bandwidth. it's just a bridge device...

network speed will be almost native. Darkproduct is talking about Read/ Write speed to his ZFS pool if im reading his post correctly. Network is about bandwidth so if you are running 1 GB Nic then you should get about 115-125 MB/s = 1000 Gbps bandwodth approx across the network. The bridge...

Yes it’s possible. are you thinking 1 Internet facing + 1 internal facing? if you have the same bridged network on the host you can just create 2. If on the vm and map them to the appropriate brodge network. it’s documented in the admin guide how to create a bridge...

Thanks Alwin there is a lot of documentation to go through it’s not a small task :( did you notice any specific pointers for the single socket Epycs by any chance, we‘ve opted for the 7502p which are the single socket models. I’ll try to slowly start going through the docs. any pointers or...

Thanks @Alwin which of the tuning guides do you recommend for this use case scenario? ””Cheers G

Hi All i've been doing some searches for securing the PMG web GUI for the root user and haven't come across anything specific. Is there an option for 2fa? Would there bay any issues if we installed Fail2Ban? Nothing is jumping out in the Administrators guide. any assistance would be greatly...

Hi @j4ys0n just wondering if this was ever resolved. currently looking at the same card. ""Cheers G

Thank you @guletz appreciate you taking the time to reply. I think i should be clearer with my question RE Cache drive. I'm looking at the 375 GB Optane as a caching drive for SLOG/ LARC, from what i've been reading the SLOG can be approximately 1/4 the capacity of RAM even less. The question...

Awesome information thanks @LnxBil really appreciate you taking the time to go into more detail. Are you currently using Dedupe? We are torn between having a few stand alone ZFS hosts and deploying a Ceph cluster, ZFS looks like it will be easier for our team to manage then Ceph, obviously...

Good advice ill report back once the new server has landed :) ""Cheers G

Thanks for the additional clarification :) Are you aware of any reference article for calculating special device capacity ? I'm not sure if we wish to go down the path of Dedupe just meta data and small blocks. From a VM perspective would there even be a use case for small blocks or am i...

Thanks @LnxBil Just to clarify isn't the SLOG only for block devices? Isn't ZFS local file based? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage please correct me if i'm missing something as i may have crossed wires somewhere in my research...

Ok All thanks for your input so far :) I've decided to go with the following options and would love your feedback: Single Server Options New SuperMicro e20012623 10 bay 2.5" (4 bays can be occupied by NvME drives) or all by SAS/ SATA Drives AMD Epic 7502 32 Core 256 GB Ram HBA Broadcom 9300...
