    Converting LXC to template: "Template feature is not available"

    Hello, I am fairly new to Proxmox. I've searched Reddit and this forum, and I hope I am not asking an FAQ that's already been answered. I couldn't find anything on the Web. Please bear with me. I have set up Proxmox on a NAS. Due to it only having 8Gb of memory, I chose to go with LVM+ext4 and...

    Storage snapshots causes disk performance degradation

    Hi! I found some comments about using Snapshots (LVM or ZFS or GlusterFS ) in Storage causes disk performance degradation ( permanent slow I/O ), but if you remove all the Snapshots, the performance is returning to normal. Has anyone here had a similar experience?

So I have 2 GPUs that I am passing through to 2 VMs (usually one windows and one linux or mac). Everything works fine when I am starting them...

    I have a Dell R530, I recently switched from using RAID5 disks with the built in raid card to HBA mode and using ZFS. Before when I was using LVM, my sabnzbd could max out my connection (between 120-150mbps), however after switching I'm only hitting between 5-30mbps consistently. sab reports...

    LVM / ZFS possible safe and sensible disk layout

    Hi guys, since I'm still at the beginning with proxmox (coming from unrai*) I'm wondering about the right disk layout. I have quite a wild growth concerning my hard disk landscape and wanted to ask if a ZFS makes sense or rather LVM? How could a possible ZFS make sense with the disks? I also...
