Should I use ZFS at all? For once this requires a disclaimer first: I am using ZFS nearly everywhere, where it is easily possible, though exceptions do exists. In any case I am definitely biased pro ZFS. That said..., the correct answer is obviously: “Yes, of course” ;-) Integrity ZFS assures...

Assumption: you use at least four identical devices for that. Mirrors, RaidZ, RaidZ2 are possible - theoretically. Technically correct answer: yes, it works. But the right answers is: no, do not do that! The recommendation is very clear: use “striped mirrors”. This results in something similar...

Due to lack of pcie slots available I want one of my m.2 slots back. I want to add sata ports with a m.2 to sata adapter. Currently I have a raid z-1 pool with the 3 m.2 drives, for proxmox. Anyone know how to migrate the pool to a mirror? To put it simply I want to give only 2 drives to...

Hey Zusammen, ich habe ein HomeServer mit folgenden Festplatten: Zwei Intel SSD für proxmox, eine Samsung SSD VMs und Container und fünf HDDs sollen den data tank darstellen. Hierzu habe ich folgendes gemacht: # zpool create -f -o ashift=12 <pool> raidz1 <device1> <device2> <device3> <device4>...

I wrote something down on Github and would love to hear your feedback.

Hello, I am quite new to proxmox, but enjoying it so far. I currently have 3, 2TB SATA hard drives, and I'm trying to set them up in proxmox to be in a RAID where there are 2 main drives with 1 as a hot spare, so if 1 drive fails the hot spare will replace it until I get a new drive. So this...

Hey there! I'm starting to upgrade my home server and want to start using proxmox to seperate my concerns, those being: - Photo backup using immich - DDNS & nginx web server - Paperless & Obsidian - Home Assistant AFAIK, its quite important to start out with the correct number of drives; as I...

Hey all, hopefully a quick answer. I am looking to get 3 SSD's into raidz0, this will be a vm pool to reduce the ridiculous io delay I have now. I do have a solid redundancy strategy and backup system already in place. Would someone be able to point me to the cli commands or gui setup to make...

TL;DR ZFS RAID1 vs RAIDZ-1? Hello comrades, After a long trip with Proxmox 6 its time to move on to 7 now. Trying a new clean install i found the BTRFS implementation (not interested for now) and an old intrigue that I could never answer. -Why on the Filesystem options i get options like ZFS...

Hello, I would like some advice for my data raid. I have a Proxmox with 4 SSD 2TB for data. (64Go ram, Intel Xeon 3.7GHz 8 core) On this data raid I would like to put several Windows and Linux VMs. The but is : fast raid and the security of being able to lose 1 disc I started by doing a...

Greetings, I made a poo poo when installing my server, forgot to turn on mirror on two nvme system drives. Somehow Proxmox GUi shows 100gb of HD space(root). How do I check on which partition OS is installed? I guess its on /dev/nvme0n1p3.. How do I extend this partition to full remaining...

Hallo, wie kann ich analog zum Proxmox-Webinterface den gesamten Festplattenspeicherverbrauch des Hypervisors via Kommandozeile abrufen? Eine Abfrage wie # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 7.6G 0 7.6G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.6G 9.2M 1.6G...
