    Procedure for moving two disks ZFS RAIDZ2 from internal SATA to external USB3

    Thanks! Looks like someone had the issue before: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/prevent-zpools-from-auto-importing.30551/ And there's now a "disable" which I assume should prevent autoimport on the specified pool.

    Procedure for moving two disks ZFS RAIDZ2 from internal SATA to external USB3

    I powered off only the external USB dock, then redid export then power on, then import and now the 2 USB disks are online with the others! # zpool history ... History for 'ssdbck1': ... 2021-10-12.16:19:16 zpool export ssdbck1 2021-10-12.16:19:37 zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id/ -o...

    Procedure for moving two disks ZFS RAIDZ2 from internal SATA to external USB3

    @Dunuin zpool export ssdbck1 commands succeed (no output, exit code zero) but the pool is still there after the command. zpool import says "no pools available to import". zpool import ssdbck1 says # zpool import ssdbck1 cannot import 'ssdbck1': a pool with that name already exists use the...

    Procedure for moving two disks ZFS RAIDZ2 from internal SATA to external USB3

    Hi, I have a 6 disks RAIDZ2 pool, all 6 disks are currently on internal SATA. To workaround an issue on two of the SATA ports (1) I'd like to move (until a receive a new SATA PCIe controler card) two disks to an external USB3 enclosure. ZFS when on SATA has "ata-xxx-serialnumber" in front on...

    Tuning ZFS 4+2 RAIDZ2 parameters to avoid size multiplication

    To migrate the zvol to an appropriately configured ZFS I was not able to use zfs send/receive because it does not support setting volblocksize: zfs receive -o volblocksize=16k "cannot receive: invalid property 'volblocksize'" Feature request here: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/8704...

    [SOLVED] Asmedia ASM1062 quirk fix available upstream in 5.4.148 (not yet PVE 6.4) and not on 5.11.22 (PVE 7.0 branch)

    Hi, While running PVE 6.4 (kernel 5.4.140-1-pve) on a threadripper system based on AsrockRack TRX40D8-2N2T motherboard we recently lost two SATA SSD drives on kernel write errors, after testing various things (swapping SSD, cables) we found out the issue happens (after a while) only on the two...

    Tuning ZFS 4+2 RAIDZ2 parameters to avoid size multiplication

    Yes this is where I read about volblocksize. However it's not clear what value is optimal in my case, 128k ? 1MB ? 4MB (like ceph does I think) ? Also on the following advice: "When doing this, the guest needs to be tuned accordingly and depending on the use case, the problem of write...

    Tuning ZFS 4+2 RAIDZ2 parameters to avoid size multiplication

    Hi, On a machine with 6x4 TB hdd I installed PVE 6.4 (up to date) choosing RAIDZ2 (ashift left to default 12), and this should leave 4x4=16 TB or 14.1 TiB usable. # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 1 days 00:35:33 with 0 errors on Mon Sep 13 00:59:36 2021...

    Upgrade of pve-qemu-kvm and running VM

    Hi, I'm about to dist-upgrade PVE and pve-qemu-kvm will go from 5.2.0-2 (with the qmp timeout / VM freeze issue starting to hit us) to 5.2.0-6 (current stable). Once the dist-upgrade is done is there a way to "migrate" a running VM from the host it's running to the same host so that I runs...

    Migrating a real machine with NVME disk to PVE VM

    Yes I confirm PVE sees both disks the one from args and the small one for OVMF. Thanks!

    Migrating a real machine with NVME disk to PVE VM

    Hi, Today I had to migrate a physical machine running Fedora Core 32 with NVME root disk and UEFI boot to a virtual machine (OVMF) under PVE 6.3. Unsurprisingly Fedora boot failed if I just copied (offline using an adapter) the whole /dev/nvme0n1 original block device to a ZFS volume and used...

    mtime use for large images to save a reread on backup?

    While checking the logs of my PBS I noticed the longest PVE VM backup job was of a stopped VM (been in stopped state for a few weeks / daily PBS backups) which has a relatively large disk raw image (200G) on a relatively slow directory (NFS mounted by /etc/fstab not by PVE). Is there a way to...

    proxmox-backup-client gets HTTP/2.0 after 70mn, PBS server crashed?

    Yes as I mentionned the PVE host has RAIDZ2 with 6x4TB hdd. Do you know in what log I can see history of cleanup jobs?

    All VMs locking up after latest PVE update

    Note that I had relatively similar looking issue there with PVE running a PBS VM: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-backup-client-gets-http-2-0-after-70mn-pbs-server-crashed.85312/#post-375257 It also has an old CPU Atom C2550 (like other posters here) and I had qmp failed messages too...

    proxmox-backup-client gets HTTP/2.0 after 70mn, PBS server crashed?

    With 5.4.101 on both host and guest so far no issue. VM file cache size has reached 11G and has been sitting there for a while, I'm relaunching previously failed backups.
