    Proxmox Backup Server full

    Hi, I've been recreating a bug in PBS. When it gets full, I need to manually delete chunks and erase datastore in order to free space, because when I delete some backups no space seems to be released. Garbage collection won't help either. I'm now testing with SDA and SDB instead of RAID 0, same...

    Multiple clusters use same Ceph RBD storage

    Hi, I want multiple Proxmox clusters to access the same Ceph RBD storage. IMHO this should be possible, but without manually choosing VM IDs in both clusters there would be collisions for disk names. Are there options to avoid this with either defining a custom disk name template (preferred) or...

    So far I've read the Samsung SM883 would be great in general. Would that be so? There are also PM883s and cost 50% compared to the SM883. Are they both do their job, without queuing a regular (VM) Windows 10 update for example? I've been using 2 PNY CS900 and they hit the limit pretty fast...
