    ZFS pool won’t import after switching from /dev/sdx to /dev/disk/by-id – mixed vdev paths

    Hello everyone, I have a ZFS1 pool made up of 10 disks. When I first created the pool, I only had 5 drives, and they formed the first vdev. At the time, I used /dev/sdx to set them up. Later on, I added another 5 drives to the pool and this time I used the /dev/disk/by-id path. So the pool...

    Sanity check for remote ZFS backup strategy

    I'm drawing up plans for remote backups of a few ProxMox servers, non-cluster single machines in different locations. After reading through the forum, AI tools and other sources, it seems like using ZFS send/receive to a remote server also running ZFS ( rsync.net or my own server) would be the...

    [TUTORIAL] Protect a PBS datastore on ZFS, so that it does not become completely full

    Sometimes it can happen, a ZFS pool become 100% full. Since ZFS is a COW (Copy-on-Write FS), it is very difficult to remove data from it because at least enough space must be free to write a timestamp. To prevent this from happening, you can create a dataset and reserve some storage space (~20...
