For me that host works, but for at least 10 days, there is no new update for my system. Neither Linux or ProxMox update, everytime when i try (or system itself) there is no updates: Little bit strange :)

Great! Thanx! :)

Yes, it is confusing. Thank you for explanation, now it's a bit clearer. If i understand you correctly, every VM disc is in fact a ZFS dataset? For instance, i get this zfs list output: NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT VMSTORE 3.41T 1.71T 140K...

Hello! At the moment my box is running fine, i'm happy. It hosts all my home VM's, which i needed to re-install / convert from being FreeBSD powered to Alpine Linux, 6-of them goes through re-incarnation :) Except PFSense VM, which come's bundled with FreeBSD and OpenVPN appliance, which is...

@John N Thanks for suggestion, but combo is already here & working :) I hope it will fulfill all my expectations.

Np. If VM will work for 4 days i will do that. BR

Hello @guletz Thank you! I think you got the point. I have just uninstalled vmware tools package with: apt-get remove open-vm-tools and also in VM settings of OS Type i set "Linux (kernel 2.4)", since it was set to "Other" for that VM. I will see if that gonna help. Cheers!

Aha. Ok, i will take a dive onto that and try doing that. Thanky you! Ok, since this server is for my personal usage it won't have plenty of writing, mainly it will be used for reading (movies, music...) and for some webpage serving. It is not for some heavy usage. I hope discs will survive at...

Dominic: thank you! I think you are completely right. Because I only yesterday run update of my Proxmox system (there was some 25 packet waiting to install). And since i create a ZFS pool day before it was generated with the older version, which generate that output. "zpool list" ouput is ok i...

I intend to usr ZFS, i hope it will be fine. At the moment there are 2 VM's running (both Linux based).

Hmm. Just create a ZFS volume via ProxMox webui where i select RAIDZ1, all 4 SSD drives, ASHIFT12 and after confirm error spawn. But system said that volume is created and OK. I clone one VM to it and it seems that everything is ok. Shall i use it or delete and create it again? Thank you.

Ok. Will try to do that way. I already have that blocksize on VM's i think. But anyway i think that i will need to made a fresh install of Linux VM's and replace current FreeBSD based ones. Linux seems much better supported in KVM as BSD (no shit). Also, majority of my VM's are quite small and...

Ok, now let's get real :) Everything is in place now, so please i just need a hint from someone who knows ZFS better than me (it's not so hard, hehe) :) This is now final configuration: Samsung Evo970 - system resides here 4 x Samsung Evo 860 2TB which i want to use as ZFS RAIDZ (need space)...

Quick update: SSD's are still not here, neither additional 64 Gigs of RAM. But just for test i managed to succesufully transfer and start 2 of my VM's (1 Linux - Ubuntu and 1 FreeBSD) from home ESX-i box. First will run from now on ProxBox until i get all components and migrate all other VM's...

tburger: many thanx for answer. I will try that tommorow. And yes, there are few things i'm not familiar with (in Pmox) but with help from you guys here, i will handle it, no doubt. Thanx again.

Ok, i (hopefully) successfully installed ProxMoxVE 6.3-2 on new combo with default settings. Install create LVM & LVM-Thin volumes with enough free space that even proper hard drives will come only next year (AMAZON said on 7.1.2021) i still have wish to try how virtualization works on PMOX. So...

Ok, i can say that some 85% of road to fully working server is done :) EVO 970 for system is now plugged, right now i'm downloading PM VE 6.3-1 ISO to install. Are there any special tricks? I'm not gonna use a whole space for system, since i read that it is better to leave some unpartitioned...

Eh, Hynix seems better, honestly. But no matter, i need to get the stuff asap so i can start doing something with it :)

bobmc: unfortunatelly, suggested HYNIX M.2 drive would come only next year (january, 2nd) to me, so i order other drive form our local store, which will come tomorrow. So i can plug-in & at least install VE on it and get familiar with it, til SSD's will come. -...

Elmo: thanx, that's good to know. I also bought 3 fans which will be in box, i hope it will be enough. Now it's done, since only discs are missing and asembling of the box will begin. Then i will take a picture and post it here for review :) bobmc: thanx, i will order that one with EVO's...
