    [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...

    [SOLVED] Slow performance on USB ports

    I'm having really poor performance when copying data from one physical USB-C disk to another physical USB-A disk plugged into the same Proxmox VE-system. The rsync below is only at 0.85kB/s. Filesystems are both ext4 and the disks are created as VM-disks: directories and raw. In the VM doing...

    VM CPU Performance

    Hi, I've noticed that the CPU performance of the VMs is well below what it should be. I have a newer one that has a CPU with less performance than this newer one, and the VM on geekbench delivers what it should deliver. A VPS on the newer one has less performance than the previous generation...

    error occured during live-restore: MAX 8 vcpus allowed per VM on this node

    Thanks for the PVE 6.4 release! The Live-Restore feature is especially interesting to me, because I've always looked for ways to make the restore faster in order to keep disaster recovery times a minimum. Situation: Main Node has 16 cores / 32 threads VM 101 has 32 vCPUs, because the database...

    Proxmox cluster - disk layout for ceph

    Hi, I plan to build my first ceph cluster and have some newbie questions. In the beginning I will start with 5 nodes, and plan to reach 50 nodes. Those nodes quite old (CPU E3,16GB RAM, 2x1Gbps network), so I think to gain the performance in adding more nodes but not upgrading RAM or CPU. I...
