l2arc

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't decide what would be best. More RAM, and additional L2ARC - and in that case which type? Proxmox is currently running on a HP DL380 G9 with one PCI-E slot available, so I could get a card that supports NVMe and add around 250 GB fast...

I've set up a zfs pool on my Proxmox VE home-server. sdc and sdd are 2x 4TB SATA HDD sda is a 480G SATA SSD NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM pool ONLINE 0 0 0 sdc ONLINE 0 0 0 sdd ONLINE 0 0...

Hi, I'm running a PVE cluster at home, mostly for fun and some local services. I deployed it on top of a couple of dell optiplex (for the low power consumption), which have 1 NVME slot and 1 SATA slot. Initially, I put one 1TB NVME SSD inside both of the optiplex, partitionned with ZFS, and 16...

I am installing Proxmox on two SSDs in a ZFS mirror (RAID1) configuration (why does the hdsize show 476?). Proxmox itself should not take up to much space and my VM/LXC space will be on separate drives. How much space should I make for Proxmox and could I use the rest for an L2ARC stripe...

[cross posted on STH] I work in a research lab that we recently purchased a Threadripper 3970x workstation from a System Integrator. It is a better better deal than Dell-Intel, which would have cost us twice as much. The role is to run Proxmox as base Hypervisor and run multiple Windows and...

Since there are many members here that have quite some experience and knowledge with ZFS, not the only that I`m trying to find the best/optimal setup for my ZFS setup; but also want to have some tests and information in 1 place rather than scattered around in different threads, posts and...

Hi, i am new to Proxmox VE. I've put 4 x 1TB nearline SAS drives in a Dell Precision T5500 on a PERC H200 and installed the pve on them in RAID10. I feel them a little slow and want to accelerate them with PCIe SSD accelerator SUN F20. The Prox sees 4 x 24GB SSDs and i want to use 2 of them in...

I know this subject was discussed so many times... I have read so many tutorials and so many "best practices" and "suggestions"... Sometimes they advise exactly opposite things... After reading another one I decided to ask community advice before I start :) I am building Proxmox VE setup based...

Hi everyone, This is strictly not a virtualization question, but a ZFS question, so I think that it'll be interesting for everyone involved with ZFS. We have our ZFS-based backup server, which receives e.g. all dumps from our PVE cluster but also from other machines. The server is a HP DL...

I have an extra 120 GB SSD laying around and I would like to set it up for ZIL and L2ARC, but want to clarify something first. In my setup, I have two ZFS pools. They are: - 2x 480 GB SSDs in mirror (rpool) - Created during Proxmox install This pool has Proxmox and all containers/VMs on it...

We have a Proxmox install where everything is up and running and up to date (5.2.5)… but with ridiculously slow performances (write) on the disks. For a dual socket with 256GB of RAM and SAS 10K disks this is really bad… System has been formated with two SSD (Mirror) for the system on...

Install Proxmox on a Dell R510 server (12 SCSI/SATA bays) with the following criteria: UEFI boot ZFS mirrored boot drives Large Drive support (> 2TB) SSD-backed caching (a Sun F20 flash accelerator with 96GB of cache on 4 chips) Home File Server There were lots of “gotchas” in the process...

Hello, I´ve installed the latest Proxmox 4.1 via iso on one of my dedicated servers. The specs are: CPU1: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07GHz (Cores 8) Memory: 24061 MB Disk /dev/sda: 750 GB (=> 698 GiB) Disk /dev/sdb: 750 GB (=> 698 GiB) Disk /dev/sdc: 120 GB (=> 111 GiB)...
