    No "raid1" option in ZFS?

    =1&c[nodes][0]=16&o=date']Search the forum for QLC and you will find that ZFS does not work well with those kind of drives. Other filesystems also have issues on sustained writes but ZFS with sync writes and write amplification always runs into trouble. Everybody who buys QLC drives creates a...

    Very bad I/O bottlenecks in my ZFS pools

    ...features that I like, such as mirroring and checksums). I've used consumer TLC flash drives for ZFS (expecting them to wear quickly but accelerate a HDD mirror) and it works well, and endures longer than expected, for some workloads. I do not want to use QLC so I really can't comment on your...

    Very bad I/O bottlenecks in my ZFS pools

    =1&c[nodes][0]=16&o=date']Search the forum for QLC and you will find that ZFS does not work well with those kind of drives. They might have good reviews for consumer/games but Proxmox VE is a clustered enterprise hypervisor. Lots of threads with suggestions to use (second-hand) enterprise drives...

    Help Needed to Design Ideal ZFS Setup on PVE

    ...of the data and at least one in another place. PBS has remote sync which is perfect for that. That also possible (but please don't use SMR or QLC drives). Alternatively, install PBS as a container (instead of a VM) and you can use the PVE storage directly (and avoid ZFS on ZFS). Or install...

    Help Needed to Design Ideal ZFS Setup on PVE

    Maybe show the output of zpool status for the VMS pool (in CODE-tags)? Are you using SMR or QLC drives? Maybe we can find out the actual problem with your physical zpool and suggest improvements?

    SSD ZFS Raid

    [SOLVED] WD RED degrades when used as OSDs

    SMR is for rotating HDDs these are TLC-flash SATA SSDs. QLC-flash is terrible with sustained writes (go down to KB/s) but most TLC-flash consumer drives work "well enough" for homelabs (but I have no experience with Ceph). Try (second-hand) enterprise SSDs with Power Loss Protection (PLP) as...

    Hardware buying advice needed

    ...but if at all, that is not a Proxmox, but a hardware/driver issue. And do yourself a favor and refrain from consumer SSDs - especially QLC ones - they wear out at an amazing rate. You will want to use CEPH or ZFS, which are copy-on-write file systems, so swap will be the least of your...

    Server hängt sich auf mit Read-Error on swap device

    Naja, die QLC hat deutlich bessere Leseperformance was beim Verify und Restore von Vorteil ist.

    Server hängt sich auf mit Read-Error on swap device

    Jetzt wo ich deinen Screenshot sehe. eine QLC SSD solltest du eh auf keinen Fall für einen Hypervisor nutzen. Die sind beim schreiben noch langsamer als HDDs. Außerdem verschleißen die bei Serverworkload um ein vielfaches schneller. Für Backups oder einen Office PC kann man die QLC SSDs benutzen.

    Ceph Performance.

    ...minimum and should only be used for testing / evaluation / home labs - hdd's are slow, you should really use ssd's nowadays (with plp, dont use QLC ssd's) - 10Gbit is the bare minimum, every write to disk has to be send over the network to other nodes so this could be your main bottleneck...

    Extremely slow performance on ZFS

    Thx will check the thread later. While enterprise ssd would surely help it just doesn't explain the abysmal performance. I have 8 consumer ssds in my main pc as madadm raid6 -> 7000MB/s write speed. There's something wrong when you have virtual disks on a zfs raid in proxmox.

    Extremely slow performance on ZFS

    https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/very-slow-vm-on-dell-r620.164605/post-761270 and maybe also use enterprise SSDs with PLP instead of SSDs with QLC flash memory? EDIT: You keep on comparing RAID5/6 with RAIDz1/2, which you should not do as they are entirely different. Please read the thread and...

    nvme drive data randomly disappearing from servers

    That's what I tried to say before. Consumer SSDs (like your QLC drive, which is terrible for VMs by the way!) can lose all data easily on unexpected power loss as it moves "data at rest" around (including the drive's internal data allocation tables). I cannot explain that, sorry. There have...

    Constant writing on my proxmox main drive

    ...time? I am not using ZFS for boot, i have ZFS on my second 1 tb SSD, but the OS is on the main drive (a 128 GB M2 SATA III). Yea, i know what QLC is and my Crucial BX500 is indeed QLC. That's why i want 3 nodes in a cluster with a Raid 5 (3 ZFS pools for each secondary 1 TB SSD from each...
