    @aaron could you or one of the other proxmox forum admins mark this post as resolved? I can't seem to do it :)

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    Alright so I have found out my solution to the problem. With some help from Reddit, I was able to narrow it down to the drives themselves and the fact that due to them being SED drives (SED FIPS 140-2 which is essentially a self encryption standard for drives, often used in DoD). They had...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    I'll try to do that when I have the next opportunity. I also noticed that in the above screenshot with the colors and text in post #10, disks /dev/sdd, /dev/sde, /dev/sdf all show the following error when running fsck /dev/sdX for each disk. The only one that is different is /dev/sdf which...

    Issues with removing SAS disks from ZFS configuration

    Hey sorry for the late response, work was busy this week but thank you so much for taking the time to respond! So going down the list here are the answers to your questions: Yes, when i started playing around with the first set of drives i had (about 5) i ran into the error documented above...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    Alright to provide a little more information, here is another screenshot of all the disks listed in proxmox cross referenced with the zpool status and other useful information of their state. Also as a side note it looks like i do have an extra disk not in the array that i thought was in the...

    Issues with removing SAS disks from ZFS configuration

    Thank you for the reply @Stoiko, I will definitely check that! Just to let you know the drives miraculously repaired themselves it seems and there were no issues in creating the zpool i desired. However, after a few months of running it has come to my attention that two of the drives have...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    Not sure but I'd assume they can be used in a grouping of 10 drives? I wasn't aware that this was a limitation in some drives. They are Seagate enterprise SAS drives with SED encryption (ST1200MM0108 - Data Sheet). Do you think that because they are SED encrypted and previously used that could...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    currently reading temps on the CPU ~48 C and on the exhaust ~40C, drive temps are reading ~40C and the TRIP temp is set at 60C. Unfortunately I dont think this is what is causing problems. I am currently trying to determine the physical locations of the faulted drives so I can try swapping them...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    @Dunuin Thanks for the prompt response! So ill go ahead and start by checking the memory using memtest86+ since that seems to be an easy thing to start on. I also ran `zpool scrub ZFS1` and `zpool status -v ZFS1` and it appears that the scrub managed to repair some of the data corruption but a...

    [SOLVED] Meaning of DEGRADED state on ZFS pool

    Hey y'all, So I recently set up proxmox on a r720xd and run it as a secondary node in my proxmox cluster. It has 10 1.2TB SAS drives on it (ST1200MM0108) that i have been running in raidz2 and i use a seperate SSD for the host (which runs a NFS share for the zfs pool) and the single VM i run on...

    [SOLVED] Unable to store VMs on local-thin?

    Alright so I ended up editing the storage.cfg on my R720XD to have the lvm-thin pool "data" and it is appearing now correctly. However, I now see a local-lvm on the R430 which does not have one and i still see the local-zfs on the R720XD when it also does not have one. Any ideas how to fix...

    [SOLVED] Unable to store VMs on local-thin?

    Hey y'all, So I recently setup my two servers (R430 and R720XD) in a cluster with the R430 running the performant applications and the R720XD acting as a NAS and also for running less performant applications. I have run into an issue when creating VMs on the R720XD. The R430 PVE node was...

    HDD I/O errors after shutdown

    Really good answer! It is true that you don't need the disk to be wiped but i had an issue once on two installs and after wiping the disk it finally worked so i figured I'd mention it.

    HDD I/O errors after shutdown

    Is the PVE failing to boot? Can you login or access the web gui at all? As @Dunuin said I would run a smart stat on the drive on some other bootable OS but ultimately I’ve had drives act really weird before with smart reading fine. In my experience proxmox is super picky about drives and...

    Wireguard preferred method.

    Sorry to revive this topic but I was curious if anyone had opinions on running Wireguard in an LXC vs. VM? Planning to install on a new node this weekend and i have always installed as an unprivileged LXC. I had someone the other day mentioning that due to it being internet facing a VM may be...

    Best Two Node Setup Sharing A ZFS Pool

    Ahh i was wondering about that. I kept looking around for the sector size of the disks expecting to find it for the SSDs and never did. What you say makes sense though. So to close it all out, i think i will change the raid config from raidz1 due to the factors you listed (wearout and issue of...

    Best Two Node Setup Sharing A ZFS Pool

    Gotcha that totally makes sense. I’m glad you responded to this because I never really thought of it that way. Thanks! That’s fair, all those SSDs are running VM storage and nothing else. Thus, it makes total sense to swap the ZFS pool to mirror + striping (RAIDz10). Glad I found that out now...

    Best Two Node Setup Sharing A ZFS Pool

    Awesome thanks for the detailed response! I think i will use VMs for the seedbox and media server and most of the other services as well that are internet facing to make them more isolated and allow me to directly mount SMB/NFS. That being said, in my case the media server is sent through a...

    Best Two Node Setup Sharing A ZFS Pool

    Hey y'all, So I wanted to gauge some people's opinion here on a homelab setup i am in the process of creating with 2 PVE nodes that have already been setup in a cluster. Here are the 2 nodes 1. R430 (pve1) with 2x Xenon E5-2620 v3 cpus, 32GB RAM, and 8x 800GB SAS SSDs in raid z1 (~6TB usable)...
