    [solved] Help please

    Dear Elleni, I do not have to much every day experience with ZFS but a mirrored setup should run with only one disk. I think this should be the role of a mirror, to be able to replace one disk if it fails. The concern I have is if your data is already corrupted or not. I hope all the best, Rares

    proxmox 7.0 sdn beta test

    Is this still a good idea? Do you have any extra features or performance gain if you use SDN+OVS versus SDN alone? For example for having DPDK support for Mellanox cards with openvswitch-switch-dpdk ? or any hardware offloading? In priciple just SDN sounds better because you have only one thing...

    Thank you very much for your contribution. I am waiting to test this out this week. Question: Can you mix different zone technologies? I mean can I keep a default setup for the machines that are already working and add a zone with BGP to test it out without impacting the rest of the VMs? Can...

    Best practices - boot from raidz or standard disk

    We had problems in the past on booting up from ZFS, most of the time the scenario would be a the server does not come up after a reboot after an upgrade. In that case we had to boot from another device and fix the ZFS in order to boot. Maybe things are more stable now but we decided to have a...

    Mellanox DPDK support in Proxmox

    Yes I know, we got a maximum of ~120Gb / card because of the PCIe limitation. The idea of dual port is for MC-LAG. But even here we observer a difference if we assign the IP directly on the interface or via Linux bridge/bond. Can you confirm that by just installing openvswitch-switch-dpdk +...

    Hi all, Has anyone experience with the new AMD CPUs with a lot of cores? I see a lot of fuss on the Internet, the price looks very attractive so I'm curious, are these CPUs a very cost effective way of creating compute nodes? Does it have enough PCIe lanes for Nvme + Ethernet? Or it would be...

    The Best Solution to build a Redundant SAN

    Does it have to be ZFS? Can't you use Ceph with only 2 copies of the files? For ZFS I would setup Replication every 5 minutes so when one node fails you will start on the other node with the 5 min old data. Do you plan to have the 3rd node on a small device do that you can establish quorum to...
