    Dell Poweredge R710

    I just ordered this server with 128g ram. Got in a bit of a hurry and now notice you can not put the H700 raid in IT mode for pass-though so I can use ZFS. Anyone know of a fix for this? Or recommend a replacement card I can use? Note: Will have 6 sata drives.

    which raid

    For a small budget. This is for a single host. I've been greatly disappointed in ZFS raid 10, the FSYNCS/SECOND doesn't get it. at all! Proxmox existing vm with mdadm raid 1 = 999 beats the crap out of it. (Tested while guest were running, one of them a mail server) old perc5 raid card=...

    On a file server I plan to move to proxmox, I've a question about the file server storage format. I plan to put the operating system on qcow2 However, the 300 gig disk for the files (will be on the same server), I was wondering if that shouldn't be raw format? Sound about right? A 300 gig...

    Having used proxmox for our own needs, I'm thinking to use it for some small clients. I need some ideas for simple (very simple) instructions to check the backup and swap usb drives: Have you guys got a method you tell a secretary or whomever to change backup drives?
