    Grub not booting ZFS rpool after disk replacement

    I do not think he can do that. His raid controller is a real raid with no support for vanilla jbod option. Instead he has to go into controller bios and configure virtual volumes for all disks. Onpy than this sudo-disks are seen by the system. I am not 100% sure but most controllers can only be...

    proxmox 5 - no boot with USB, and cdrom ISO fails at 100%

    The issue is with uufi boot bios. I have an oldish supermicro server that I just did a full refurb because I thought my MB was fried. Turned out it was my PSU. But, anyhow, the old mnivores was legacy bios so proxmox load was never an issue. It needed a little fines and manual interaction to...

    ZFS Replacing HDD with SSD

    If you replacing them all it shouldn't make the difference. The short time between disk swap pool should be ok. I have played with mixed disk pool before and never run into an issue.

    Autrui, do not do this setup. There is simply no reason for it. Zfs needs direct access to the hardware. You create your pools on the host. As in your proxmox box. Now how You use this pools is ul to you. Some people do everything on the host. That is load the pools as host local storage and...

    1 pub IP, many VM, NAT doesn't work

    I don't think so, but you need to make sure that you put all clients on the same subnet if I read your config properly you have your host on one subnet and your VMs on different one. So no ponging between them as there is no router to properly interpreat the address and direct it. No vm cannot...

    1 pub IP, many VM, NAT doesn't work

    There is nothing to ping. Your vmbr2 is on different subnet 255.255.255.0 As opposed of your host which is on 255.255.252.0 I am sure you can ping it from host in. Since I do not know your other settings I can not tell you anything else. Also I am not too strong in iptable routing. I know that...
