    Hi wolfgang, at my question n.1 (For VMs (linux based, Windows based, etc..) is better to use volume or dataset/filesystem?) you answered that is better to use Volume because tool chain is optimized to zvols and FS has not O_DIRECT. Now I have read this proxmox wiki...

    Proxmox Ceph network configuration

    What can you say me about a second ring also for Ceph cluster network? I was thinking: there is the possibility to configure a secondary Ceph cluster network that save me in case of the primary Ceph cluster network stops to work (Switch failure) ? Tahank you

    vCPU - Cores vs threads in INTEL CPU

    Hi to everybody, first of all I'm sorry for my English... My question is simple: if I give "n" cores to a VM in a server with Intel CPU (HT enabled), the "n" cores are REAL "n" cores or they are only "n/2" real cores (=n threads) ? For example: I create a new VM with 1 socket and 4 cores...
