btrfs

Hello everyone, Today, I made some changes to my system. Previously, I had two 250GB SSDs directly connected to the motherboard as boot drives and configured them into a RAID1 with Btrfs. I also had two 1TB HDDs connected to the motherboard, serving as a ZFS RAID1 for non-essential data (not for...

Moin zusammen, ich habe heute einige Änderungen an meinem System vorgenommen. Bisher hatte ich zwei 250GB SSDs, die als Bootplatten direkt am Mainboard angeschlossen waren. Diese habe ich zu einem RAID1 mit Btrfs konfiguriert. Zusätzlich hatte ich noch zwei 1TB HDDs am Mainboard angeschlossen...

I just did this (and things appear to be working well) so I thought I would share. Feel free to provide critical feedback. Also full disclosure I did get hints on this from Proxmox support but they couldn't provide assistance as I don't have that kind of license (but the hints they gave were...

I get weird situation Proxmox is installed on btrfs raid of 3 USB flash drives I have two additional btrfs raids on 2x18 TB and 2x15TB where I store data I have NVME where my images are When I start a vm from NVME for some reason my unrelated 15TB and 18TB btrfs raids disappear, lsblk does not...

Ok, I had BTRFS up and running just fine. Then I decided to add a cache SSD using make-bcache -C /dev/sdg but eventually worked out that this would not work as a caching disk needs to be added at the time of creating my BTRFS RAID10. But how do I safely remove /dev/sdg? I'm running Linux...

I am making my first steps with PVE on a btrfs filesystem. When trying to set up a backup location it appears that @ in a file path is not accepted. I get the following error: illegal path for directory storage: /media/raid/@data2/backup (500) While not a requirement, @ is often used to signify...

I am migrating my server from Arch to Debian/PVE. Given that there are quite a few Docker services to migrate, I will dualboot until I successfully moved all services. What makes matters a little non standard is that I use systemd-boot and btrfs, which is why I thought I'd double check here...

Hi, we have encountered a strange situation: Running: 1. PVE 7.4.3 2. Partition /dev/sdb1formatted with BTRFS 3. Partition /dev/sdb1 mounted at /vol/data on host 4. Storage added: `pvesm add btrfs data --path /vol/data ; pvesm set data --format raw` 5. Unpriviledged LXC container created with...

Hello, i can't seem to be able to create/move a container volume on the Btrfs storage type. I get the following error: btrfs error: open3: exec of btrfs -q subvolume create -- /mnt/nfs/nvme_btrfs/pve/images/104/vm-104-disk-0 failed: No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm line...

For better decisions according filesystem choice I thought it would be a good thing to see the possibilities. filesystem XFS BTRFS ZFS Compression with VDO layer inline / offline inline Deduplication offline inline / offline inline Metadata extern yes no yes, special device...

Hello, I installed PVE 7.3 with a BTRFS file system on a small system (old Thinkpad T520 with an SSD for the system drive, and two HDDs -- the latter are directly formatted in BTRFS and exported to a Rockstor NAS VM). The performance so far has been very good. I noticed that the installer...

Hi, I'm familiar and very happy with BTRFS on my Linux desktop. I'm totally new to Proxmox, however. I have the newest 7.3 version installed on a Thinkpad T520 with an SSD and a HDD. I want to put VMs on the SSD, and use the HDD for NAS-style storage. I installed Fedora Server 37 successfully...

Hello, I have a VM with too much space allocated and am trying to shrink it's disk from 200G to 100G. Filesystem of VM is BTRFS and of Proxmox ZFS. Steps I've done: 1) Boot into gparted and resize the btrfs partition from almost 200G to 95G (used partition space does not exceed 100G) 2)...

Hi, on a fresh install of Proxmox with BTRFS, I noticed that the containers install by default with a loop device formatted as ext4, instead of using a BTRFS subvolume, even when the disk is configured using the BTRFS storage backend. I'd like to use BTRFS directly, instead of using a loop...

Hello, I had a severe issue with OS disk (using BTRFS) and must replace it. This means I started block copy using dd from old disk to new SSD; I performed the following steps: 1. block copy with dd from old to new device 2. extend root partition 3. resize BTRFS of relevant partition Then I...

Has anyone else seen or had issues with local-btrfs. I have tested with every setting I can find. When trying to backup a VM or container that is using local-btrfs. It is not usable. I am talking 8-128kib/s I have adjusted vzdump I have tried no compression. You name it. I move the VM or...

Hi, I am using BTRFS in all of my installations. I wanted to use it as filesystem for virtual disks for Proxmox (I am using 7.2-11). I was able to successfully create BTRFS storage (which seems to be more similar to Directory storage - means I need to mount it separately as it is not done by...

Hello Forum, I installed Proxmox and chose the option to use BTRFS in raid 1 configuration across 2 SSDs. This has worked perfectly fine, but recently disk space is becoming low. I only have space for 2 drives in the case, so I would like to expand/replace these 2 drives with larger ones. I'm...

HI, May I know if it is possible to install proxmox backup server with btrfs, if so, any documentation for the same? Thank you

I see that BTRFS is in 7.2 and still listed as a technology preview. Is there an estimated VE version when this will be stable for production use?
