    Hello, im evaluating PBS for production and am using it for some non business critical VMs / PM hosts Loving it, great work! My question: We do have an offline/offsite backup.

    ZFS IO issues/limitations inside VMs

    Thanks for your reply! The thing is, i don't have a raid controller and need encrpytion, that is why i use ZFS. I could drop it, get a raid controller and use thinlvm true. The idea was to skip the expensive raid controller by using some RAM^^

    ZFS IO issues/limitations inside VMs

    Thanks, will try to add a second volume and observe. btw.: i could redo the pools still, if it saves me the trouble of altering many VMs. Especially because it is planned to transfer existing VMs from other proxmox hosts. adding to this: im running cisco VMs there where i cannot alter the...

    ZFS IO issues/limitations inside VMs

    Hello guys, i hope you can help me with this, since i need to go into production soon: tldr.: Write speed on 2 ZFS pools is fine on the PM Host but inside VMs there are major issues with "larger writes". What is the correct disk configuration for VMs on a ZFS pool for win10 and linux? I've...

    [SOLVED] Server config ZFS +encryption+cpu load questions

    Youp! with ashift=12 i get better copressionratios and smaller diskusage: Also a comparison between unencrypted "rpool" and encrypted "vmdata", not sure if size difference can be attributed to encryption or different ssd models: rpool/data/vm-222-disk-0 2.05G 369G 2.05G -...

    cool tip, will do! @testing real data copy times seems hard, since with those fast SSDs there will be al lot other bottlenecks, i suppose but copy + comparing smarctl written data seems cool, will do that. thx for the tips! edit: on different SSDs (mircron5300) on hte root pool with ashift=12...

    [SOLVED] Server config ZFS +encryption+cpu load questions

    Hello, reporting back and thinking of redoing the SSD mirror. After a bit research I did the "hddmirror" with ashift 12 and the 4xSSD "vmdata" with ashift=13: zpool create -f -o ashift=13 vmdata mirror sdb sdc mirror sdd sde I think the ashift=13 was a major rookie mistake, maybe i...

    [SOLVED] Server config ZFS +encryption+cpu load questions

    I've been reading into ashift and its purpose for HDDs, and i meant to set up a mirrored raid to compare performance, but quickly learned that: You can't really use dd if=/dev/zero with compression since it will not write anything :D . Also repeated hdparm will benefit greatly from zfs cache...

    [SOLVED] Server config ZFS +encryption+cpu load questions

    Thanks for all the replies! This is a big one, thanks for the info! Will read into it. @1 i assume that the move disk command is just very aggressive, i did fail-configure my first PM server with raid5 HDDs and heavy IO limitations, so i might be over cautious here. I can imagine, that...
