Are you running all SSD or Hybrid SSD with Spinning disk?

ok i wasn't aware of the license changes sorry to hear that. How is Ceph going for you?

But is the solution working well?

Hi @goty How are you finding the DRBD9 solution? ""Cheers G

In our VMware environment when a host crashes logs are lost even when streaming to disk, these logs are imperative to find the root cause of the issue especially when there may be little lead up to the issue it self so in VMware at least it’s important to get everything in its entirety to deduce...

Hi Team interestingly enough I’m seeing exactly the same issue on a test deployment. on ProxMox I’ve been troubleshooting this for about a week. vm’s on private lan can ping external resources but when trying to get any data from those resources it fails. example. ping works wget fails web...

thank you great tips. i followed your lead and blocked a port on the firewall until services where restored :) ""Cheers G

Hi All We would like PMG to suspend email delivery temporary to back end servers while maintenance is carried out. Is there a way to pause the mail queue from delivering emails in/out during a back end mail server maintenance window? if PMG can hold the emails for a given amount of time then...

@alexskysilk thanks for your input, always interesting to see it from someone else’s perspective.

Hi @guletz I've just reviewed some interesting informaiton thats been brought to my attention from the FreeNas forums about issues with RaidZ,2,3 etc used for virtualisation, as the pool starts to fill up to 50% capacity it basically looses 1/2 it's performance and ZFS starts to struggle to...

Hi @alexskysilk thanks for your input, sure we can go and spend more money on additional SSD's and Ram but at the same token the goal is to also reuse what we already have in stock that's still in new condition and can still delivery what clients need at a cost competitive price. Ram should be...

@YellowShed my question would be what happens when the host has a freeze and isn't able dump from memory to disk? is that something that could happen? ""Cheers G

Hi @northflower we don't run home labs, we only have production servers and storage so i couldn't begin to tell you about your work loads, obviously if your data is sitting dormant most of the time you'll get a longer shelf life. for home use sure go consumer grade as long as you have a...

hi @northflower if your not going to put anything else on the root drive I.e. iso, templates etc small spinning disk could be less expensive If you can find them. zfs in general does a lot more read/ write work and if you have a power loss situation data loss can occur with ZFS on ssd if they...

Hi all have eOS working fine, just make sure virtio is used for network, disk and graphics. boot into recovery mode open a terminal session with networking. install the qem-guest-agent and reboot. the graphical console should come up now. let me know if it’s still not working and I’ll double...

May i ask what do you mean by this? Are you saying your vDevs are different sizes? ""Cheers G

Hi @guletz Where both of those vDevs created at the same time or was 1 created and then another added later to the pool? ""Cheers G

@guletz thanks for pointing that out and you are correct with the numbers. Not sure if you can boot from a RaidZ2 pool? Overall you are correct, i’m really just looking at our use case scenario with only 8 drive bays available: 2 bays - mirrored pool for Larc2 Cache + Zil Boot OS 1 or 2 bays...

Hi @guletz thanks for the additional info. From what ive been reading having compression turned on makes the above statement redundant as compression will allocate the block to what ever fits best reducing the used space and delivering less platter spins to get to the data. From my research...

@LnxBil have a few questions if i may. 1. on FreeNass we pulled a Zil drive intentionally for testing this action dropped the pool and we needed to re import, maybe the workflow we used may have been different (Power off > remove drive > power on > pool gone) we will try again with power on and...
