    Can I and *should* I mirror an existing LVM root partition on an SSD with another SSD?

    Alternatively, I could benchmark the drives, keep whichever is better for my root partition and use the other as an L2ARC. This might be more sensible.

    Can I and *should* I mirror an existing LVM root partition on an SSD with another SSD?

    Background: I have a 'server' running Proxmox that I used for self-hosting a number of low-intensity services mainly for myself. This 'server' is my old repurposed HEDT desktop machine. It is also used for storage, and has raidz2 running across 6 spinning rust disks. The system (root, etc) runs...

    Do idmaps for bind mounts in multiple unprivileged containers require separate users?

    Hi folks, I have been using the unprivileged containers wiki guide to bind mount a directory for containerA (uid+guid 1000), which works grand. When I tried to do a similar thing for a separate mount point for containerB (also uid+gid 1000), things went awry. Using the same idmap lxc config...

    Borg Backup with Proxmox

    Aye, zfs snapshots seem to work, though haven't actually tested them. I'll figure something out! Thanks again :)

    Borg Backup with Proxmox

    Oh dear. I am using external mp for the sshfs mounts because there were issues mounting them from inside a container- relating to it being an unprivileged CT, I think. As I recall the suggested solution was to mount them externally and pass as mp. I'm not sure of the reference but see this...

    Borg Backup with Proxmox

    Strangely, despite setting up proxmox on ZFS I cannot snapshot. The VM's root disk is on local-zfs storage, yet I am told 'snapshot feature is not available'. If I try to add storage, the only storage type for which 'backups (vzdump)' are available is the dir type, on which snapshots are not...

    Borg Backup with Proxmox

    Thanks for the confirmation :) I want to exclude them because they're remotely mounted sshfs dirs. Oh, absolutely I will be testing this. Second rule of backups, right? [1] "If it's not tested and confirmed you can restore from it, it's not a backup". Cheers again! --- [1]: The first rule...

    Borg Backup with Proxmox

    Me too! I was about to roll my own borg solution but saw this. Thank you for taking the time to write and release it. I had a quick question about mountpoints: if I use the form proxborg <VMID>: That will back up a QEMU/CT (using differing methods: image for VM, The Better Way™ for CT) and...
