    How can I set the correct ashift on ZFS ?

    VZDump "kills" ARC cache...?

    How can I set the correct ashift on ZFS ?

    So what might be causing a low peformance issue? Wherever I made a big copy (50 GB or more) the copy speed drops suddenly, and after a while it goes back again, this repeats over and over. And also some of my KVM servers start to have low peformance too. Could you help me ?

    How can I set the correct ashift on ZFS ?

    According to that link: I'm seeing here: That my partitions are not aligned to a 4K boundary. Before this setup, I used to have 4 Seagate ST1000DM003 on ZFS with ashift=9, and I had better peformance (Less I/O delay percent). Am I missing something here?

    How can I set the correct ashift on ZFS ?

    Thanks for helping Then why this Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 byte line is telling that each sector has a size of 512 bytes? What does that means ?

    How can I set the correct ashift on ZFS ?

    I bought 4 Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM008 (Bytes per sector: 4096 according to datasheet) to be used in a Proxmox 5.4 with ZFS, during installation I choosed ashift=12, however after installation, I decided to check the bytes per sector using: fdisk -l /dev/sd[abcd] This gives me: Disk /dev/sda...

    ARM Hardware

    That's a shame, I really like the idea of having ARM CPU servers with Proxmox, as they are cheaper and consume less power, for small business with low workloads, this is something to worth having. Anyway, I would like this info you gave to be confirmed by Proxmox itself.

    [SOLVED] Proxmox is using swap with lot of RAM available

    I finally solved the problem, I was using writeback as KVM HDD cache. According to this guide, when you use this type of cache: This mode causes qemu-kvm to interact with the disk image file or block device with neither O_DSYNC nor O_DIRECT semantics, so the host page cache is used and writes...
