    [SOLVED] Slow LVM (over dm-crypt, over iSCSI) metadata operations

    Hi. I'm running a 3 nodes cluster, running latest PVE 5.2. As storage, I use iSCSI, but, as I don't fully trust the storage operators, I've added a dm-crypt layer. And on top of this dm-crypt, I've created an LVM VG which is shared on all node, and used as LVM storage. So, for every node, it's...

    ZFS over iSCSI for HA

    Hi there! I have 5*ProxMox servers running 5.2-9, one of which has a number of hard drives in them, I would like to share those disks to the other 4 servers in the cluster so that I can run HA. (to clarify, the other 4 servers contain minimal storage that I do not wish to store VMs on) My...

    Unable to attach FreeNAS iSCSI volume on Proxmox 5.2

    Hi everyone, Has anyone had success on connecting an FreeNAS iSCSI volume to Proxmox? I could not for some odd reason. I created two iSCSI volumes on FreeNAS. I have a Xen and Proxmox server. The Xen server sees both volumes. The Proxmox sees none of them. I even tried disabling CHAP...

    [SOLVED] iscsiadm not reading /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf

    I'm putting this here so that others don't make the same mistake. In PVE's GUI, the iSCSI plugin (Datacenter > Storage > Add > iSCSI) doesn't offer a parameter to configure the username/password for Mutual CHAP authentication. I added the credentials to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf and tested with...

    ZFS via iSCSI using LIO/targetcli

    Hi, If I see it right, proxmox currently (5.1) does not really support ZFS via iSCSI on up to date versions of Linux. "Linux" support for ZFS over iSCSI found in proxmox today means "IET", which has been deprecated for quite a while unfortunately. I've looked into how IET support has been...
