    High Memory usage.

    What Alwin is saying is that the Proxmox host sort of allocates all its RAM to guests and such like and releases it automatically when needed. That means that having all the RAM utilised is not a bad thing. It shows up as utilised, but it will free it when needed. It took me a little while to...

    Automatically delete old backups?

    Hmmm, well mine I discovered wasn't deleting the old backups, after some months of running I, so effectively a feature that it meant to do backups had stopped because I'd reached the limit. I had to delete them manually to get it to work. I've just set the whole environment up again from...

    Hardware decision making help...

    I too am grappling with this a bit. Seems like I really can't do consumer SSD. I have run them both with EXT and LVM-Thin and also ZFS. ZFS seems to be the slowest for some reason, even slower than running off the terrible green drive in there. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I...
