I have 3 pools: VMdata: Main pool with zvols for VMs, daily snapshots running here Backup: Backup pool where snapshots get replicated (Sanoid) Pool3: Other empty pool I want to clone a VM from snapshots on the Backup pool to Pool3, without affecting anything on the main pool. I want to spin up...

Are they 2.5 laptop drives?? Even if they were *higher end* desktop drives, theres a reason why most servers have SAS ports, just skip right to a decent SSD, look for something that was common on Dells, avoid "read optimized SSDs" if possible, there are many decent 2nd hand Dell Toshiba SAS SSD...

Actually, things have come a long way thanks to PVE dev team, all of that can now be done in the gui in just 1 step. That is it, you are done.... If there is no available disk in the drop down you may need to wipe it, verify the serial number before plugging in the disk, verify its letter and...

That works - YEA!!!, but that is contradicting. I am not allowed to use zfs *directory* storage for CT, but the mount *directory* matters?? Maybe consider this a low priority adjustment in future code.... something like zfs get mountpoint $poolname in the pve code prior to sending a CT to...

I tried that: root@pve1:~# zfs set mountpoint=none VMdata1 root@pve1:~# zfs mount VMdata1 cannot mount 'VMdata1': no mountpoint set So the pool no longer has a mount point, and it is not listed as a mounted fs, but still same error when trying to send a CT to the pool with double // in front of...

What version are you on? I think I have done the same as you say, it does not work on my version.

Was reading this point (which I interpret it to mean he is using directory storage), so for giggles I set: zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/VMdata1 VMdata1 Same error with double //

"not work on zvol" - so it doesnt work on anything zfs, pool, nor dir. Moving to a zpool (storage type "ZFS", I get this error: Task viewer: CT 361 - Move Volume TASK ERROR: cannot open directory //VMdata1: No such file or directory - VMdata1 is the destination (from LVM), why does it have...

I know this is a common issue, but I cant get it going with the typical settings. I can create on LVM, but not on zvol, nor ZFS file system. I have added a ZFS storage type on the storage page, and a directory to the dataset mount. When I try to move the drive from my lvm to the zfs dataset I...

I am having stability issues on mine, pve 5.0-23, pfsense v2.4.3, any ideas?? My main firewall died last weekend, and having a R720 with 4 nics, as a temporary fix, I loaded a pfsense VM and was online... but after a random time, sometimes a couple days, sometimes 8 hours, the WAN gateway shows...

Yes, I know it is, which assumes a reboot.... but I decided to go check this on a newer system, and it works as desired - the zdx and zvol references are both generated on the fly WITHOUT a reboot. however on the other system that was dist-updated in the last 4-5 days is not creating the zvol...

I am cloning a zvol snapshot, and the new zvol shows up properly under zfs list, but it does not populate in /dev/zvol nor zd* and my goal is the mount the zvol on the host to recover some files. Does anyone know how to populate those in to dev? I probably cannot reboot the host for 3-4 days...

Do you need this for a storage drive or a cache drive? If its for storage on a SATA backplane, I would say the S3710 is the closer model. Samsung seems to have a slightly better price point with MLC and faster IOPS on the SM863a. Use their comparison chart on this page...

It most likely has a h 200 or h310 RAID controller. These are really bad because they have a queue depth of 25. If you have the full card not the mini mono, it can be flashed to an LSI 9211 firmware which has a queue depth of 600. As raid cards these things are absolutely horrible. But if it is...

If you are looking at Macrium, which I feel is a great product, you might also look at Easus Todo Backup, which is nearly identical to Macrium, but a couple more features, some of them are cloud based, but last I looked they had limited cloud options.

That does not sound very promising. If you need to run ZFS on a raid card, it had better be good, otherwise ZFS is optimized for a non-raid HBA card, where it can constantly monitor the bare drive state. If you are doing RAID5 of 7.2k sata on some junk raid card - ouch, all bets are off. I hope...

gluster or drbd+lvm... rubish raid card will give rubish results, test with low impact vms like linux or win7... a single ssd/nvme, no raid may do you better. you will learn fencing, barbed wired, etc ;) ZFS is a local file system, it does not have "live clustering" abilities, but if you had...

"a thing added like a hack".... definitely not, it is very robust, zfs send|receive is a standard function of any zfs implementation, PVE has just built a wrapper around it to schedule and track backups, and there is commitment from the PVE team to expand it in to the GUI someday. And it is...
