storage

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of setting up a new Proxmox VE deployment and I have a few questions. My servers come with multiple 10GB and 1GB ports. I've read that the Proxmox documentation frequently recommends using dedicated physical links for the cluster network due to latency...

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...

I would like to make a product request: would Proxmox be able to modify the PBS Code to deliver a ZFS over ISCSI pool? call it simply Proxmox Storage server. it doesn't have to be "HA" as it could use the "ZFS Replication" from the Truenas scale code. maybe even a merge of the truenas scale...

I am trying to delete an orphaned disk image so that I can reformat a drive but whenever I do I get an error: When I go to the VM with ID 102 I can see that this drive image is not referenced anywhere in the hardware, the drive image that you see referenced here lives on a different storage...

Hi, Has anyone experimented with ceph stretch pools that seem to have appeared in squid? (not stretched clusters) It seems rather new, but rather interesting, as it may not require the whole cluster to be set to stretched, while still dealing with the guarantee of OSDs and monitors being on...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein Problem mit meinem Proxmox-Server, das ich alleine nicht lösen kann. Der Server läuft mit einem ZFS-Mirror und hat 32 GB RAM. Vor kurzem wollte ich eine ISO-Datei herunterladen, aber der Download stoppte immer bei ca. 1,3 GB. Seitdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass ich...

What is the best expected latancy of storage within a VM? from reading https://kb.blockbridge.com/technote/proxmox-tuning-low-latency-storage/ it looks like their un-opimised guest is getting just over 50us, yet no matter what i try i am getting around 200-300us with raw image, virtio scsi...

Hello, I have a server with 2 disks of 1TB. I installed PVE using the ZFS mirror option, so the two disks are fully dedicated to this whole ZFS mirror. Everything works great. I don't mind changing configurations, but I don't want to add any other physical storage. How could I create a...

Hi everyone, Merry Xmas! I hope someone can help with the following basic problem: I have just created my first cluster by adding a single new node. I would now like to set up the internal SSD in order to transfer some VMs over to it. However, it's not working like the master node. fdisk -l...

Ceph is great, but it needs some resources above the theoretical minimum to work reliably. My assumptions for the following text: you want to use Ceph because... why not? you want to use High Availability - which requires Shared Storage (note that a complete solution needs more things like a...

Hallo, ich verwende Proxmox 8.2.7 auf meinen MiniPC mit 2 SSDs und habe dort mittlerweile eine OMV VM, eine Win11 VM, einen LXC Container für OpenVPN usw. usw. Gibt es nun irgendwo eine gute Übersicht, idealerweise grafisch, um herauszufinden welche VMs oder Container nun auf welche SSD...

Good afternoon, all! I'm looking into ProxMox as a sandbox and dev platform, coming from a VMware/Nutanix background. I set up VE on an old laptop and it's working OK as far as it goes. I added a 500 GB USB drive to the laptop dock and mounted the filesystem on /mnt/usb01, then installed a...

Hello everyone, I have been using Ceph for the past few months and have recently acquired the necessary hardware to set up Ceph on its subnet, as advised in the Ceph and Proxmox documentation. I am unsure if I have configured this correctly. Below is my configuration file, where you will also...

The local-lvm: I believe the source of most of the data is the TrueNAS vm boot disk but when I looked into it, I couldn't find the source of the 40G+ data. lvs: Inside the TrueNAS vm: My overall VM setup: Any help in identifying where my storage is actually going is appreciated.

Hey, we kind of ran into a problem wth Proxmox Backup Server. Our iscsi-target which we use as backup-storage for pbs is out of space. Therefore we have deleted a lot of backups from pbs. It does not seem to synchronize the available space with the storage. In the file-structure of pbs and...

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to homelabbing but have never yet used Proxmox. Though, I've always been tinkering with IT stuff and am also working in the field. Finally, I want to realize my own homelab/NAS combo. My plan is to use Proxmox VE as a host and virtualize TrueNas Scale. I'd be...

Hello, I am having a strange issue with VM backups direct from PVE. I have configured the backup jobs under Datacenter->Backups, going to an SMB share. My backup storage is running low, so I ran a Prune on each of the VM's to free up space. I can see that the extra restore points have been...

I have a proxmox cluster v 8.3.1, each node has a boot drive (rpool) and 2 SSDs mirrored with ZFS (vm-storage0). Under cluster>storage there are listed local, Type directory local-zfs, Type ZFS vm-storage0, Type ZFS root@prox3:~# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER...

Good afternoon, I’m planning to back up some documents in a Windows Server VM using the Windows Server Backup service. I have an external hard drive that I would like to use for this purpose. What would be the best way to add this disk in Proxmox and then make it available to the VM? Model...

Please forgive me, as I'm a total beginner. I'm wondering best practices/feedback on using one disk as the storage for multiple VMs and CTs. Here's what I have right now: /dev/sdc is used for backups. /dev/sdd is used for security cam storage. Things get a bit funky with ZFS formatted disk...
