    [SOLVED] SSD performance issue on ext4

    Hi All, I installed proxmox (using ext4 filesystem) on a 5212MB SATA SSD (used consumer-grade Sandisk SD8SB8U512G1001) to evaluate it. I run some benchmarks using fio, to get an idea of how fast it is. Before installing proxmox, I benchmarked the disk with PassMark's Performance Test on Win1o...

    Gast Filesystem: XFS vs. ext4 auf ZFS-Host?

    Hallo, dank einem Beitrag habe auf eine Frage von mir habe ich nun meinen Server auf ZFS umgestellt. Nun stellt sich mir die Frage: XFS oder ext4 als Gast FS? Bisher war ich immer ein Freund von XFS: - defrag online möglich (auch unter Linux relevant; ggf. weniger/gar nicht bei SSD?) - stabil...

    I am running proxmox on a Dell R210 II, which I recently upgraded to use four Kingston A400 SSDs running in RAID 10 using the H200 RAID controller. After this machine ran for a few hours, it encountered an error and fell back into a read-only root filesystem (I've seen some answers that suggest...

I followed the steps as per documents. I selected Ext4 for my installation. Surprisingly, once I loaded vm's. It...

    [SOLVED] Why is the 'data' LV much smaller that the disc?

    I apologize if this is a noob question. So I installed Proxmox "normally", i.e. with LVM and ext4 some time ago. Now i noticed that my SSD shows up with 223,57GiB in size under Datacenter->pve->Disks. But under Datacenter->pve->Disks->LVM-Thin the data LV is just 141,43GiB. What is the rest used...

    I/O errors, PVE not booting

    Hi, I had a PVE 6.2 install running for quite some time. Now, after creating a new VM, my server is acting up and I don't know why and how to fix it (even after extensive googling). When trying to boot the server, I get repeated messages of this form: EXT4-fs (dm-1): I/O error while writing...

    File system in VM

    I am trying to decide between using XFS or EXT4 inside KVM VMs. My goal is not to over-optimise in an early stage, but I want to make an informed file system decision and stick with that. Situation: Ceph as backend storage SSD storage Writeback cache on VM disk No LVM inside VM CloudLinux 7...

    Ceph ext4 mysql

    Hi, I noticed that the only way to get low iowaits with ceph is to settle VM disk cache to writeback. But it's not enough, with mysql (innodb) we still have high iowaits on high load. We have to disable barrier on ext4 mount options. After that, disk performance is OK. On a 5 nodes cluster...

    Intel NUC single SSD - best filesystem?

    We're planning on using a few Intel NUCs in lab conditions with Proxmox. They take a single M.2 NVME device. What would be the best filesystem to use in this case? Also if ZFS would a RAID1 or RAID0 array be the correct option?
