storage

I've recently added another Proxmox Host and a Q-Device to my Environment in order to get some redundancy implemented. However, I've now noticed that my current Storage solution doesn't seem to be suited to achieve the goals that I want it to achieve. I currently have a Linux Storage Server, on...

Hardware: 2 x 500GB sata ssd's (WD Red SA500) 4 x 2TB nvme ssd's (WD_BLACK SN850X) Current plan: Install proxmox in zfs raid 1 on the two sata ssd's. Use the other 4 nvme drives to create storage for VMs (docker, etc) / CTs (pihole, etc) / smb (probably open media vault) What I'm struggling...

Hi I’m pretty new to Proxmox and a total noob when it come to Linstor and DRDB. I have a 2 node Proxmox-Cluster with an additional corosync-qdevice running on my Unraid-NAS. Now I try to get DRBD working but unfortunately I fail. I followed these tutorials...

The current NAS series from Ugreen seems to be a good platform for a small home setup, but I am struggling a bit with choosing the right disk constellation. I am planning with the DXP4800 (Intel N100 4 cores, 8 GB RAM) and installing PVE on it. The main consideration here is power efficiancy...

Hi, I have an LVM2 thin pool on my Proxmox system that contains multiple thin volumes. Occasionally, one of the volumes unexpectedly grows very large, causing the thin pool to run out of space. This usually isn't a big problem, I just delete some data, maybe reboot the system, and I’ve never...

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to you because we are trying to migrate from VMware VSAN to Proxmox. First, let me give you a quick overview of our current situation. We have a cluster of three nodes (vxRail) with 10 HDDs and two SSDs (vSan in cache tiering) and a 10G network. I have done...

Dear, I am facing to a choice to share the existing ceph storage from proxmox cluster to K3S cluster. Is it best practice to do that or need to SoC and each cluster has his own storage ? If proxmox manage the ceph storage is it a good governance ? Some clarifications are welcome. Best Regards,

I have an iSCSI LUN with LVM storage layered on top. I'm not sure if this is the best configuration, but I enabled fleecing to the same storage and snapshot-as-volume-chain. Fleecing used to work fine before I turned on the volume chain function and converted the .raw disks to .qcow2. Now it...

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to all this and planning to run Home Assistant on my mini PC. Originally, I was going to install it on Ubuntu Server, but I’ve since learned that Home Assistant OS is probably the better choice because of the add-ons. So that makes my original plan kind of...

Hallo ich bin gerade dabei von ESXi auf Proxmox 9.0 umzustellen und frage mich gerade warum ein ZFS mit Kompressen, 2 verschiedene Ansichten und Belegungen hat. GUI und SSH anzeige sind identisch: Storage 'local-zfs-001' on node 'vms-ipn-001' -> rpool/data local-zfs-001 -> 60.80% (107.60 GB...

In VMware you have the option to migrate Compute, Storage or Compute AND Storage. In fact I don't believe proxmox even has a single button to migrate all disks for a specific VM. AFAIK you have to select each individual virtual hard drive and click the move button, wait for it to finish before...

Hello, I've created an Immich LXC using the community helper scripts and it installs and runs root on the drive of your choosing. However, it doesn't give the option to mount external storage options during its initial setup. I'm wondering how I can add a different storage option for my actual...

Hi I'm trying to configure shared iSCSI storage for my 3-node Proxmox cluster. I need all three hosts to access the same iSCSI storage simultaneously for VM redundancy and high availability. I've tested several storage configurations: ZFS LVM LVM-Thin ZFS share Current Issue With the ZFS share...
