Hello I am having some issues. I have several nodes in a cluster that I want local encrypted zfs pools for storage but I can't add the pools using the same name on different proxmox nodes, so I can't easily migrate between encryped zfs pools. Steps to reproduce: #1. Create the base disk in the...

Hallo Zusammen, ich denke ich weiß mittlerweile so ungefähr was ich tun müsste bin mir aber nicht 100%ig sicher und würde daher gerne noch den Forumsjoker ziehen..... Ich habe viel rumgespielt die letzten Wochen mit Proxmox und ZFS und habe daher einen Pool wo ich jetzt am Anfang einen blöden...

I added an NFS mount in the storage.cfg on proxmox7.4. This shared storage is now available to all hosts, as I wanted too. I can then bind mount it to the containers as I wished. After a while, that this NFS is already in use, I updated the options of the NFS in the storage.cfg, namely the...

Hallo Zusammen, ich habe zwei große 12TB HDD Platten in meinem Proxmox eingebunden mit ZFS und RAID1 am Mountpunkt /zfs/vm. Das "vm" ist ein Directory, "Datacenter" - "Storage" - "Directory".

Hi, I am new to proxmox and was wondering why my local-lvm is filling up when I transferred media files to a completely different drive. My scenario was, I had a windows 11 vm spun up with 8TB HDD, I connected an external SSD via usb and passed it through to the VM no problem but I noticed as I...

Hey all, I repurposed one of my windows machines into a proxmox box, but it never recognized the 512GB NVMe drive. And it doesn't seem to even be aware of the fact that the NVMe drive exists. lspci and lsblk return no mentions of any NVMe slot/drive, but the UEFI can see the NVMe, and I can even...

Storage noob here. I am building a new single node proxmox server on a 2U server that has 9 3.5in 4TB HDDs and 6 2.5in 800GB SSDs beyond what is used for Proxmox's boot image. The server will be running a mix of stateful container workloads, databases for stateless containers, and VMs for...

Hello All, Here's another technote in the Windows on Proxmox series. In Part 4, we quantify and compare IOPS, bandwidth, and latency across all storage controllers and AIO modes under ideal conditions (i.e., "unloaded"), utilizing Windows 2022 running on Proxmox with iSCSI shared block storage...

Hello, There are times when we need to address issues related to noisy guests by storage. For instance, if we encounter slow storage and need to identify which VM or LXC is utilizing the majority of the resources. I have created some per-cluster/node dashboards in Grafana utilizing the default...
