    Install on Soft Raid

    Ok, since reliability and performance were the main reasons mentioned in the thread, I thought it was on of your arguing points. I agree with you on the extra features. I like your policy and fully agree. Still, one note on the whole "marginally more expensive", depends on the margin. there are...

    Install on Soft Raid

    I know, can't seem to find a more recent benchmark... liked the one that compares FS, though. Can't actually replicate the tests due to hw and/or time constraints, so, must rely on what the Internet provides :D Also, I had actually considered using such a setup, but just for testing. If I get...

    Install on Soft Raid

    Sorry to steer this conversation away from the main issue one little bit, but there are a couple of interesting benchmarks about RAIDZ and mirrorring on ZFS vs HW RAID that may be relevant to what was discussed, in terms of performance...

    Install on Soft Raid

    There are controllers that handle rebuild without slowing down... further, I guess. You will have to read from all of the disks to get the info you need, right? You need to calculate the parity (XOR) of all the disks to get the missing info, or am I wrong? My knowledge of raid is limited, I...

    Can I submit appliances to proxmox's repository?

    We've been creating a couple of templates that might be useful to the community. Right now we have templates for: - Tomcat + birt reports - LAMP + phpmyadmin - Apache + awstats (basically, a ready to use apache server with all logs correctly configured for virtualdirs and awtats logging out of...

    Install on Soft Raid

    I'm just confused about a few things, because I don't feel enlightened enough about the whole "proxmox not supporting SW RAID"... people keep bringing up the prob of performance but then argue about RAID 5. That seems akin to comparing the top speed of diferent tractors. Ok, so the hw one is...

    Install on Soft Raid

    Quick question... if I install a lenny and then apt-get install proxmox, I'll still have to modify the module lists for the proxmox kernel, right?

    Install on Soft Raid

    I think people keep forgetting that the I in RAID means Inexpensive (not independent, as it's common to find on the tubes). A hw raid controller + batteries is not inexpensive. For small servers/test machines with only something like 4~7 disks, it's actually quite a percentage of the overall...

    Survey: Screen size for the Proxmox VE web admin interface?

    Personal opinion, interfaces shouldn't be designed with a specific resolution in mind. Web design good practices and all... still, theoretical principles aside, I think you should keep the current resolution. For a few justifications, there's the KVM issue mentioned (happens rarely, it's a web...

    Install on Soft Raid

    I know, it's one of the features I'm anxious to try (and been holding off doing it "by hand" because I wanna test this). Still, it doesn't solve the problem of not having sw raid for the operating system, for instance, or, for a more particular case, it still makes me spend some time extra...

    Install on Soft Raid

    I've been gathering info on RAID, as I need to get a new NAS that'll accommodate different types of data including databases and user homes (they have to be on the same machine, budget restrictions). First and foremost, RAID is old, obsolete and should die. Still, there are few other solutions...

    External VNC viewer?

    BTW, I have some java issues as well, but only with one of my recently installed proxmox boxes. I've installed 2 machines, both with the same iso, and one of them works great, but the other one has no java vnc viewer (laptop with ff3, sun's java, ubuntu). Reinstall did nothing. Anyone else has...

    HOWTO: Move installation from single disk to raid

    I have spent an afternoon setting up raid 5 on a test server we had (since it was a test server, it gets none of that expensive raid stuff). The procedure I used was about the same I've seen used here. Make a raid 5 with a disk missing, extend the volume group to the raid, move the data, remove...
