    Very slow read performance NVMe DC1000M

    Hi, I've a U2 Kingston DC1000M 1.92TB as secondary storage (ZFS formatted) that I use "just in case I need speed". When installed it was very fast as expected (es read performance 1454.99 MB/sec). i.e. root@proxmm01:~# hdparm -tT /dev/nvme0n1 /dev/nvme0n1: Timing cached reads: 20680 MB in...

    Looking for suggestions for a ZFS server that can have ssd and nvme and local high capacity (for backup) storage

    Forgive my ignorance in "high level hardware" but I've only experience with my "self made" Proxmox server at home and I've been asked by a friend that runs a small IT business about a Proxmox server for his customers. My idea is that I will boot from 2 ZFS raid1 small DC Sata SSD, have a VM...

    How to crash the server playing with VM CPU configuration... is it normal?

    Hi, I've a vm (Kubuntu 19.04) that I use to test Freecad and that I turn on when needed. I've no need of "mitigations" about CPU flaws or whatever, I just need more performance I can. In the vm I've disabled all CPU flags (-md-clear;-pcid;-spec-ctrl;-ssbd;-ibpb;-virt-ssbd;-amd-ssbd;-amd-no-ssb)...

    In a 3 node cluster, 2 with drbd9 storage and one for quorum, I've 4-5 times a day corosync problems like those below.

    How upgrade a 3 node, 2 node storage, drbd9

    I've a 3 node cluster (but only 2 node storage) with enterprise repo and drbdmanage 0.91-1, so I think I'd better upgrade now (also hoping 0.97.3-1 will fix some issues about calculated free space) since the license change and waiting to things to clarify (and in the future avoid the...

    Hi, I've a Kubuntu 16.04 vm and spice works fine (I've "Use tablet for pointer" Yes, "Qemu agent" Yes, Display "Spice (qlx)" and in the guest I've installed spice-vdagent). But when I try to set spice on Windows 10 pro (or even Win7), the mouse keeps being grabbed and is not precise/does not...

    Anyone using raid controller Areca ARC-1883i ?

    Hi, the above controller looks very interesting, especially with the Flash Base Module as "permanent" BBU and the possibility to be configured from LAN. In the wiki I've found that the line ARC-1210, ARC-1212 and ARC-1222 works but nothing about the above one. Anyone has experience? Works fine...

    restored vm on thin provisioned drbd9 storage is no more "thin"

    Hi, I've prox 4.1 (enterprise repo) and drbd9 cluster with thin provisioning enabled. I've seen that if I create a VM in drbd9 storage is correctly thin provisioned, but if I restore the VM then 100% (almost) of the space is alloccated. i.e. I've backedup VM 108 and restored as VM 999, and lvs...

    Hi, I tested with a VM (qcow2 image file format) and took at snapshot at "stage 0" before trying to install paravirt (virtio) drivers, so disk was IDE and not, after snapshot, is Virtio.

    drbd9, sync new resource after node disconnection

    Hi, I've 2 nodes with drbd9 storage in a 3 node cluster, linked with a cross cable 10GB/s on nic card. I've noticed that if I disconnect the cable, and create a VM in one node, when I re-plug the cable the new "resource", i.e. "vm-106-disk-1", it's not replicated. drbdsetup status shows it only...

    Prox4 and drbd, Raid card and 2 SSD, which way is best for volume creation? TRIM?

    Hi, as far as I understand drbd9 is over lvm, and I have 2 SSD disks on each server, that I need to "sum" to have their total capacity. I will have an Adaptec 6805e raid controller. The question is: is better create a raid0 with sdb+sdc at controller level, or create two separate raid0 disks...
