    [SOLVED] VM thinks it has significantly more free space than local-lvm has free

    Hey all, still somewhat new to this. Did attempt to google before posting. My media VM (debian) shows 268GB out of 825.2GB available, but the local-lvm it's using only shows 65.39 GiB availble. Discard is enabled and I just ran an fstrim -va. I think I may have somehow overallocated storage...

    Slow disk migration from iSCSI (FlashME5) to CephStorage

    Hi, I’m experiencing very slow disk migration in my Proxmox cluster when moving a VM disk from FlashME5 (iSCSI multipath + LVM) to CephStorage (RBD). Migration from Ceph → FlashME5 is fast (~500–700 MB/s), but in reverse (FlashME5 → Ceph) I only get ~200 MB/s or less. Environment: Proxmox 8.x...

    Disk size much smaller than allocated space

    I have a proxmox installation with a few VMs and LXCs, in a ZFS pool. I assigned to an installation of immich 2TB, but proxmox is only detecting 1.19TiB of space. I am missing a whole 800GiB. I have no snapshots and no backups, so no idea where that is gone.
