Ok, I will post the short results on Wednesday morning. What do you think about the ashift of 12 for the mirror? Shouldn't it be 9 as well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I like the split between KVM's and Containers. I will set that up and move the VM files over. So, here is some data as requested (the office is already using the system for 4 hours, so this is production data): First, ashift for the zfs pool's and lsblk -dt /dev/sd? (ashift for the mirror...

Hi, I got the system setup as suggested above. I will post some results later today, after it has been in production for a while. I have one question. I followed these steps to create the RAID10 pool. # zpool create -o ashift=9 storage mirror /dev/sdc /dev/sdd mirror /dev/sde /dev/sdf # zfs...

That is the plan. I will be getting 3 SSD's and will do the setup on Saturday. I will report the output of iostat and zpool iostat on Monday afternoon (after I get some data during business hours). Would you have a recommendation on what SSD's to use for the boot mirror? Sent from my iPhone...

Yes I wanted to do a direct replication of the filesystem. My target system is a FreeNAS. I will have to play with that in my test setup first. Thank you for all your help!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see, I was overcomplicating things ... So, I did finish an install on proxmox as suggested (VMBox) and added the ZFS storage. That all worked nicely and raid10 also is setup, see here: root@pve:~# zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME...

Yes I though right behind the power supply, I think it will work. Ironically, the MB has approx 12 SATA ports ... go figure ... One more thing, I am trying a proxmox install right now, as you have suggested. I am following this guide to setup the boot drives as mirror...

I have the DELL C1100. It has 4x 3.5" bays in the front only (same as the HP). Inside the case, there is just enough room (maybe have to check, going from memory here), for one, if I am lucky, than 2 SSD's. However, there is no power for the internal SSD's, I would have to splice the 12V/5V (not...

I understand what you are writing, however, I do not understand when I am supposed to do that. Are these steps correct: 1. Boot from Proxmox CD 2. Go into proxmox debug mode 3. create zpool as suggested 4. reboot and go into proxmox installer 5. when storage is shown, use the RAID10 mirror Do...

I dont mind to do a new setup. I created the zpool as you suggested, and I think I get it. So you are suggesting to use 2 small SSD's (mirror) for root, and than 2 large SSD's (mirror) for all my VM's. Root will be LVM (ext4) and the large SSD's will also be LVM (ext4) with ZPOOL on top of...

root@VMNode01:/# zdb | grep ashift ashift: 12

Do you have some suggestions where I find info on that, so I can learn and maybe do a test setup? I will go back to my original plan and use RAID10. this does not give me an output. It also does not give an error ... Just doing zdb, produces this output: root@VMNode01:/# lsblk -dt /dev/sd...

I did not set anything different. Just a straight install from USB, default settings. What would you recommend I change? (I do not know, what the default record size is, and also dont know, what is recommended and howto change it.) I dont have a preference. I like ZFS because the way it handles...

I purchased the drive brand new last Saturday (Nov. 21st) this is the smartctl output for each drive: =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= PuTTY log 2015.11.26 09:38:55 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~= root root@172.24.0.50's password: The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software...

So, I started the Process Explorer last night and also IOSTAT on proxmox. For some reason, proxmox crashed and rebooted. Syslog is not telling, why it happened. I restarted both programs again today, and will have it run during work hours, for a few hours to get some numbers. Will report back...

This is the result of iostat root@VMNode01:/# iostat -dm 5 sda sdb sdc Linux 4.2.3-2-pve (VMNode01) 11/25/2015 _x86_64_ (16 CPU) Device: tps MB_read/s MB_wrtn/s MB_read MB_wrtn sda 105.41 0.73 1.92 61085 161841 sdb...

Thats what I am worried about, sudden, no-notice, quick death and take everything with them ... worst case scenario ... I will run Process Explorer for 24 hours and see where the IO writes are. I will also try the iostat. I am debating on returning the SSD's and getting 4x 15k SAS and using...

Hello folks, I have problems with high SSD usage. it has been approx 5 days, since I installed 3 Samsung 850 Pro 512GB SSD's in RAIDz with proxmox 4.0. SSD's are connected to the onboard SATA ports, no raid card ... I use ZFS as the filesystem (not zvol). I use the full RAID array and store...

Figured it out. I had to use the virt-io-win-0.1-100.iso and there it was under WLH\VIOSTOR.INF. Not obvious, but found it ...

Hi, I migrated a Win2k3 VM from Proxmox 3.4 to Proxmox 4.0. On Proxmox 3.4, the VHD was a IDE with LSI controller type (default settings). On Proxmox 4.0 I want to change it to SCSI and Controller Type as VIRT-TO (not single). I am trying to install the drivers, but Win2k3 never accepts it and...
