Thanks a LOT! This worked like a charm!

ahm. yes. all of the folders on the backup disk are gone...

Hi, of course: NFO: issuing guest-agent 'fs-thaw' command ERROR: VM 102 qmp command 'backup' failed - backup register image failed: command error: creating chunk on store 'backup_platte' failed for bb9f8df61474d25e71fa00722318cd387396ca1736605e1248821cc0de3d3af8 - No such file or directory (os...

Hi, I deleted all files on my backup disk accidently (no big deal in my setup) and now I can not backup any of my machines anymore. PBS is telling me that it does not find chunks. Could please anyone advice me how to re-init the store (or delete information of all chunks in this particular...

hm. here I have a different point of view... I still think that an option for excluding disks from snapshots in the gui would be useful for most admins. will have a look on how to do this on shell tough.... thanks anyway!

Ahm, why do you think this would not make sense? I think this would make sense - like with backups. One can exclude disks from backup. This would be a nice feature I think. Unfortunately I have to use vmware in work - and there it is always a pain with dependent/independent disks. I think...

Hi, one of my VMs is acting as nfs-server and so it has some disks of the host as passthrough disks. The boot-disk is an ordinary qcow2-disk tough. As this VM is also acting as nextcloud-server I would really like to take a snapshot before trying an update. Any chance of snapshotting this VM...

@LnxBil: just to let you know what happened. I ordered two enterprise level ssds (500GB, used) and installed them on the very same controller as the consumer-level ssds, also as raid-1. I did not want to re-setup everything so I kept / of the host on the consumer disks, but when moving a 30GB vm...

does not sound so good. but I had those lags from the beginning. did never hear of wear-level before. and yes, I am using hw-raid

thanks, but I am using a LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-4i controller for this SSDs, not the motherboard ones...

Hm. just for completeness. I am thinking about how to run the whole thing as soon as the new SSDs arrive. What would you suggest? Do you think it is sufficient to let system and non-critical VMs (like mail-server with > 300GB) on the consumer disks and move only "critical" vms (like home...

Thanks! Just ordered two used SM863. Usually I do never buy used harddisks. will see, if the new disks help to avoid those lags. As I am also running my firewall and home automation on this host, they have been really, really annoying from time to time...

which models do you exactly use (480GB)? I think I will have to split up a little bit. luckily this raid-controller still has 2 ports available...

Thanks for the clarification - and damn. I will have to break into my piggy bank for new ssds....

I changed the command a little bit as my SSDs are in use, so I used a dir for testing, but I am not sure how to interpret what I see: root@maul:~# fio --name=4kwrite --ioengine=libaio --directory=/root/fio --blocksize=4k --readwrite=write --filesize=1G --end_fsync=1 --numjobs=4 --iodepth=128...

The question was regarding your proper fio test. Which parameters would you suggest as proper?

what would you suggest as "proper"?

just for completeness: SSD-Raid (RAID1) root@maul:~# hdparm -Ttv /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: multcount = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8192 (on) geometry = 115718/255/63, sectors = 1859012607, start = 1 Timing cached reads: 25806 MB in 1.99 seconds = 12972.64...

of course it is no enterprise hardware. it is a home-server. nevertheless this should not matter here. nearly 2 hours for 44GB??

Ahm. and 114 minutes for a restore of a 44GB disk from the "normal" disk raid to the ssds? plus really heavy lags? I can not imagine that my hardware is SO slow....
