Thank you for taking the trouble :) Yes, you can run VLANs. I recall there being differences between the Linux bridge and the OVS bridge in that respect, but I think that the differences have been pushed to edge cases (here's a PDF with colourful graphics as one of the top search results). My...

What is your definition of betterness? I myself would look at energy consumption first for an always-on system. Seeing jdancer's reply, about reliability is also important of course, even if you have backups. Why specifically these two items?

Hi Orionpy, I had some trouble getting through the wall of text. Multiple IPs via a single NIC are not a problem, the rest was a bit difficult to read ;-) Did you play with the new SDN feature?

Do you mean install-time or on the installed system? For the installed system I don't know actually, and have no unused disks to try it out. I'm quite frugal with disks, and mostly assign just partitions instead of full disks (so I have not used the GUI for that all too often).

Hi tejasthakur, You could try sorting the processes in top by memory usage, by pressing the > or < key (the key will switch from sorting on one column to sorting on another column). You could install `htop` for an interface that is a bit friendlier (if you press > then, it will give you a list...

Hi Eronario, Welcome to the forums! Are you also new to Google Translate? The output does not look like English ;-) Do you have experience with running Linux on a regular computer, and finding the logs? Do you run the 3 VM's at the same time? Could it be that memory runs out, without a...

Hi kolt, Welcome to the forum! Which 'this' do you want to mitigate? I can think of a few more or less useful mitigations for "using ZFS with this amount of storage and this amount of RAM is slower than I have patience for" Add more RAM, or Buy smaller disks, or Use another file system...

Hi surferride, Welcome to the forums! That is the spirit! :-) I _think_ Proxmox can be installed without any special settings and give a quite usable configuration. None of my (few) nodes are as powerful as yours, but I don't notice long boot times. Did you read about it via the "Help"...

Hi Fabbe, Welcome to the forum! Do I understand correctly that you have MS Windows on your server? Is it running 'server duty', or is it a computer for playing and learning? You mean HDD and SSD, don't you? I _think_ Proxmox has more benefit of an SSD. If you want to have access to both...

Lacking a TrueNAS target, I can't comment on the differences or relative advantages. An important advantage in my view is GPLv3 for PBS. Another important benefit for me is that PBS runs on top of Debian. TrueNAS allow you to deduplicate your backups via ZFS, does it not? Does that work for...

OK, I got cause of the strange behaviour: the datastore was not mounted when creating the datastore and not when starting the backup :p While intending to keep an eye on `dstat` and dm-cache usage, I mounted the store when I didn't see any IO, not realizing that PBS needs the same mountpoint...

Hey, that's peculiar.. I went ahead, added the datastore via PVE and created a backup. The backup is still running, but now the size of the datastore is displayed correctly on the dashboard: After completing the backup, the 'used' column still reads <30 KB. Task output on the PVE side...

Hi all, TL;DR: I created a thin volume and a mount point, but forgot to mount it before creating a datastore. The result was not what I expected. Not finding LVM thin explicitly in the PBS docs, I asked whether a datastore on thinly provisioned LVM would work. Conclusion: yes it does, just...

Sorry for the long silence. Apart from the run time for the tasks, life happened (and besides, I was really looking forward to the new PVE and PBS versions, and gave upgrading priority over politeness, and postponed posting until (easily and successfully, wohoo) finishing the upgrades). "All is...

Hi all, One more success story to add to the long list; 3x PVE on various hardware and a PBS. Thanks a lot for the great suite and the easy upgrade path!

There were eight chunks marked as corrupt in the first snapshot, which caused all subsequent snapshots to fail verification. The tape restore (of the first snapshot) did not restore any chunks, as it did not find any deficiencies in the snapshot. Re-verification of the first snapshot...

Hi Dominic, Thank you for your explanation and for replying to my question so quickly after I didn't have an update for a week! Do I understand correctly that a snapshot archive is a bundling of (a subset of) chunks from the chunk archive? In that case it is in line with my expectation /...

Hi Dominic, Sorry for not getting back any sooner. Backups are important, but sometimes life has no attention for that and throws urgent matters in the way ;-) I had to read that twice. Do I understand correctly that you mean this case: upon starting restore, a check is (now not) made, which...

Hi Chris & forum, Thanks for your explanation! Sorry for not getting back any sooner. I was writing a reply while checking and comparing logs when my graphics card crashed, losing my draft and 'research'. I'll try to edit this post tonight with some useful reply! <edit 10 days later> Sorry, I...

Hi dcsapak, Thanks again for helping me out! Yes, I did. The existing snapshot does not pass validation anymore, I hoped that by restoring from tape I would overwrite the broken chunk. ("all four snapshots fail verification", my other thread.) Do I understand correctly that tape restore will...
