I have read in Proxmox manual "Installing Proxmox VE/Advanced LVM Configuration Options" I leave about 8Gb unpartitioned space on disks. What's the best way to do swap: 1) allocate 8 GB for the swap on each disk, then the total swap will be 16 GB (which is more than 8 GB recommended in the...

1) What is better - to make two 4Gb swaps on each disk or make one 8Gb swap on one disk? 2) As I understand now 8Gb swap will be too big for my 16Gb RAM? To prevent processes getting killed by the OOM killer in case of running out of RAM.

If I will just remove one SSD from my server, will my PVE boot automatically? If I will increase RAM to 64Gb what swap size will be right? How to use both disks to swap? Create a swap partition on each disk and add these two swap-partitions to the system?

I'm not entirely clear about the structure of the ZFS file system. As I see ZFS is at /dev/nvme0n1p3 + /dev/nvme1n1p3 only, and it works there on mirror. Are /dev/nvme0n1p1 + /dev/nvme1n1p1 (BIOS boot partition) and /dev/nvme0n1p2 + /dev/nvme1n1p2 (EFI partition) work on mirror too? Are that...

I think it option can prevent from PVE host stopping to response since VMs full system disk too much. My 256Gb SSD disk = 238 Gib I have defined HDsize = 230 Gib during PVE installation in ZFS advanced options. (I want to leave about 8GiB unallocated just in case). And now I have this...

During the installation process, the local storage is automatically created, which is located on the same partition as the operating system itself and is mounted at /var/lib/vz. It is intended for storing disk images, virtual machines and containers. I have read the recommendation not to occupy...

Do you mean - 2GB swap on SSD?

I wrote I am a newbie in Linux) I thought SWAP is a must for Linux systems. Do you mean PVE can work fine without SWAP? With 16 Gb RAM?

I have a simple consumer NVMe M,2 disks Do I understand correctly that you recommend specifying in the installation the capacity of the entire disk minus 8GB for the future swap partition? So Hdsize = 256-8 = 248 GB?

Now I have 16 Gb of RAM. But in future, I should add disks to the host and make storage for data. The capacity of the storage will rise gradually and reach maybe about 15-20Tb (now I have for it 1 3Tb SATA disk only). If I will use ZFS for this storage too, RAM should be increased. How much RAM...

May be better to leave some free space at SSD? Also, I read it is not recommended to use ZFS pool for swap. For example, we will set swap on that unpartitioned space How to do this?

So what capacity of 256Gb disk I should use? Defaults hdsize is the entire disk (as I remember). Is any option to keep 20% of pool capacity free automatically or I should watch it manually?

Hello All, I have two NVMe M.2 SSD 256 Gb disks in my server and want to use them as a system mirrored disk. To do mirror I want to try via ZFS RAID1. I am a newbie in Linux and ZFS, so I doubt - what size of disk I should set while PVE installation? I mean the PVE installation's stage "Hard...

I have Gigabyte GP-GSM2NE3 256Gb GP-GSM2NE3256GNTD NVMe M.2 disk and a similar one, It has 300 TBW, 3D TLC technology. The second NVMe M.2 disk is also 3D TLC, 170 TBW. These two disks I want to use as RAID1 for the system. For data storage, I bought 3Tb WD Red Pro. As I know it is CMR HDD...

Mostly I tried with CPU overclocking settings. And maybe with CSM settings (disable legacy) But I restored defaults settings for BIOS and disks are not recognized yet

Thank you for your fast answers! I need your advice - as I know PVE officially does not support mdadm raid for their installation. If you want RAID - PVE installer offer to use ZFS (for mirror, for example). I have read a lot about ZFS (forums and so on) and I've got the opinion that ZFS 1)...

Everyone, good day! As a result of experiments with the BIOS of the computer on which Proxmox VE 7.1-2 was installed, the bootloader crashed ((( The system does not boot, writes something like "Insert boot media". PVE was installed on a single 256GB NVMe drive in the standard way (default...

Hi All, I have 2 NVMe M.2 drive 256 Gb in my server and would like to use them as mirror for OS with PVE. But as I see PVE installation offers RAID on ZFS only. What is the best way to install PVE on mdadm RAID1? Thanks)
