    [SOLVED] Proxmox VE 7.4-13 High I/O Delay Only With Windows 11 VMs

    Hello everyone! I'm experiencing high IO delays (18% - 30% and sometimes higher) when I start a Windows 11 Pro VM on Proxmox VE 7.4-13. I suspect it might be caused by running everything on a ZFS RAID 1 storage but then again I do not experience high IO delays when I run a Linux VM...it's only...

    HowTo: Proxmox VE 7 With Software RAID-1

    Introduction The operating system of our servers is always running on a RAID-1 (either hardware or software RAID) for redundancy reasons. Since Proxmox VE 7 does not offer out-of-the-box support for mdraid (there is support for ZFS RAID-1, though), I had to come up with a solution to migrate...

    [SOLVED] Install Proxmox to SSD and then add another SSD for RAID-1 later?

    I have a server I've installed Proxmox onto that has one SSD for the main system installation. I'd like to add an identical drive in a month to mirror my base install as a software RAID-1 (raidz maybe?) so I don't have any down time for when the primary SSD fails. Can this be done, and if so, how?
