Anyone have a good implementation for this? I guess I could just do a cron with rsync, but it seems like PVE is already performing this on multiple directories. Can't I just add a directory to the list?

I have a debian VM with a ZFS over iscsi disk that I copied data off of and then back to. The debian guest shows that I have used 44T, while Proxmox shows I have used 81TB on the storage summary. On the ZFS host, I see that the zfs dataset shows 74T used. The VM is configured for discard=on with...

I am buying equipment now for this, and I want to get the right stuff. If I get 2 stacked 10/25G switches, I would use a LAG group with 4 25G ports each per host for Ceph, and I would need those switches to have at least 4 or 5 100G stacking ports in use to support the bandwidth needed. But...

I have a 1 node Proxmox setup that I primarily use for 1 Plex Linux VM. I have 2 OmniOS storage boxes with large striped RaidZ2 arrays for all the media storage. I am using 10Gb networking to access both storage boxes via ZFS over iSCSI. The drives in both of the storage machines are very...

Hey everyone, I am getting away from VMWare/Veeam/Compellent SAN and moving to Proxmox/PBS/Ceph. The plan is for 5 hosts, each with 2 Xeon Gold 6338 (64 threads each), 768 GB DDR4 3200mhz, 3 6.4TB Micron 9300 MAX U.2 nvme, 100Gbit network for Ceph (2x 100G LACP), and 25 Gbit for Proxmox Cluster...

Hey everyone, I am looking at moving our higher ed org away from VMWare and completely over to Proxmox/Ceph/PBS/Cloud(for off-site backups). My question is about how PBS works. Is there just an initial full backup followed by an infinite amount of incrementals? Basically, if I have roughly 16TB...

I have noticed that as of a few months ago, my Windows VMs in 3 different environments are failing to reboot successfully after patching. I automate patching to happen during non-business hours, and in 3 different environments I have logged in on the day following patches and found that the VMs...

I feel like these are the only things Proxmox really is missing at this point. I have several VMs configured to be highly available, but without disabling the HA settings for each VMs that default to a host I need to maintain, it is really hard to maintain a host properly. Also, if Proxmox could...

Hey folks, I have been using Proxmox now since version 5, and I absolutely love it. I work in higher ed and our University has a huge contract with VMWare, but unfortunately the prices are going up quickly. We have a Dell SC5020 SAN that we use for VMWare, and I have configured our dev Proxmox 7...

Hey folks, I just want to make sure I completely understand this before I start hooking my dev Proxmox cluster up to my production SAN switch and production SAN. I have read through the documentation over at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ISCSI_Multipath and I think I understand the procedure, but...

I am getting extremely low write speeds on my minimal Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 2 1TB Samsung QVO 860 SSDs each (total of 6 SSDs across 3 nodes). My 3 nodes each have 4 10G links in a LAG group separated into 5 VLANs. iperf3 results show I am getting 10 Gbits between each node on all VLANs...

Hey everyone, I recently upgraded the HBA in a Dell R720 with one that supports IT mode. This host was in a 3-node cluster with Ceph. When I booted after the HBA replacement, the rpool could not be imported, and I was taken to the initramfs prompt. Instead of just importing the rpool and then...

Hey folks, I was playing around with storage migration earlier today when I stumbled into something that I would like to figure out. I have a Dell r620 host with the h310 mini in non-raid mode and 2 120 GB cheap SSDs in a mirror for the rpool. My normal storage devices are 2 separate boxes...

Hey folks, It looks like my disk speeds are good, but the backup process is reading through all of the empty space on one of the 2 provisioned disks. The VM I am backing up has a 5 TB thin-provisioned disk, with roughly 700 GB being used. The backup process is reading through all of the empty...

Hey folks, I have a little R410 with Proxmox 5.3 and 4 4TB spinners in a ZFS striped mirror config. There is currently only 1 Server 2016 VM running, and it is basically only acting as a fileserver. I thought that the 4 spinners in a striped mirror configuration would perform much better than...
