    Change to zfs storage handling in 9.0.11 - activate_storage function not in use anymore?

    Hi Until recently i used an early return 1 in the activate_storage function (within /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/ZFSPoolPlugin.pm) to prevent ZFS pools from automatically re-importing after being exported manually with zpool export data-pool. This worked great until including PVE 9.0.9. However...

    Inconsistent disk-by-id name convention with zfs mirror using P4501 nvme's

    Hello, I have not seen this before with other pools and am wondering if it is something to be concerned about.

    Before reboot, there was an I/O failure reported. I attempted to fix the pool with: zpool clear <pool> but the system hung, so I rebooted after about 30 minutes. I've attached relevant logs that I could find since I noticed the I/O failure. Only one drive (sdd) is showing errors. All drives...

    zpool list vs zfs list vs pvesm status

    Hi, I'm well aware that zpool list and zfs list are reporting different numbers, because zpool looks at the raw data on disk while zfs reports logical numbers. However my numbers are so weird, I cannot take them for being correct or making sense. I have two pools 'data' and 'vms' and both are...
