    PBS backups failing

    I have PBS running in a LXC container on my PVE server. The datastore is mounted as NFS in PVE and made available to the PBS container as a mount point. All this was working fine until the 8th of Nov, when I updated my TrueNAS server from 13.0-U2 to 13.0-U3. This involved a reboot of the NAS and...

    [SOLVED] Large # of DNS queries by Proxmox

    Hi, My Proxmox seems to be requesting a large number of DNS queries and I was wondering why that was. I have about 24K queries from the proxmox box in 25 hours which accounts to about 40% of the queries. The top queried domain is for my NAS box -- probably because my NAS is configured as a...

    LVM Thin vs ZFS root pool

    I have a 2U server with a rear drive caddy that supports 2x2.5" drives. I also have 2x 500GB HDDs that I sourced from older laptops. So I thought I'd setup a ZFS mirror as my boot pool and also use the remaining space for my VMs as they would be faster since they would be local. Secondly I can...
