    Ceph BlueStore - Not always faster than FileStore

    ...we were well committed to the conversion process. I spent virtually all of Thursday identifying the problem and trying to find of a solution. bcache's ability to use the random access advantages of a SSD, by absorbing read and write requests, prior to sequentially draining its cache to...

    PVE 5.1 - Memory leak

    Many thanks, we jumped ahead of ourselves a little with bcache now supporting partitions (as of 4.13) and setup BlueStore OSDs on hdds using ssd caching... ie: Not possible for us to revert to 4.10. Teaser: FileStore OSDs with SSD journaling will generally perform better than BlueStore OSDs...

Or you can do HW Raid of (rust disks) and HW raid of (SSD disks) and do a debian-install proxmox; configure bcache layer to get SSD boost over the bare-rust-raid-disk performance; and - should be good ...

    How to use live migrations without shared storage

    Thanks for you reply. I can not use shared storage because i delegate all hardware management on others companies than they do not support it. I can use extra servers as NFS, but it will be a unique point of failure. To have 2 NFS servers in HA is not good solutions because i must have RAID 1...

And some others on "small office custom hardware builds" (blackbox AMD or intel quadcore "desktop CPU" with 32gig ram, SSD:SATA Bcache disk config local-only-storage) - they all work great. I certainly would not hesitate to use supermicro interchangeably with Dell gear in core...

In case it is of interest, in case you are using local raid at all; I've found "Bcache" with SSD drives makes otherwise slow raid seem much (!) nicer to use in proxmox.

    What is the best file system for ProxMox?

    I also tried bcache, flashcache and lvmcache - all with similar performance. lvmcache booted dead slow and every time I needed to restart my machine, the cache is rewritten to disk. This was a big performance killer for me. Have you similar experience? I still can't believe you're going to have...
