    PBS testimonial (hardware requirements are a joke)

    Clickbait headline, but I think it is true :) Maybe others can chime in with their setups and why they need beefy hardware. Here is my PBS testimonial. Reading the documentation I was a little bit scared. Especially the storage part seemed brutal. Turns out it is not that bad and I...

    ZFS pool recovery TrueNAS to Proxmox

    I just installed Proxmox VE 9.1.1 to migrate from a wholly TrueNAS based solution. However, due to power outages, the ZFS pool that was managed by TrueNAS was in a degraded state. The disks themselves seem to be healthy, from their SMART properties, but I'm unable to import the pool as a ZFS...

    ZFS Rewrite doesn’t fully move all metadata/small files to Special VDEV

    I do want to say my setup is a little complex as it doubles as the boot drive and a special vdev in a 3-way Mirror. I have partitioned 200G just for the special vdev itself. I am running on a fresh install of Proxmox 9.1 with the pool running on the host itself. I have set special_small_blocks...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox not importing pool after update

    LXC and VM Disk IO reporting is completely wrong (mostly 0) on ZFS

    At least I'm assuming this is an issue with proxmox in combination with ZFS. (This doesn't happen on another proxmox host of mine with LVM, but that is PVE 8.3.2) I have an LXC on my ZFS (striped mirror) pool for VM/LXC data. It's currently running an IO intensive task, and this is the graph...

    Good day, We have used the Proxmox auto install feature using the `answer.toml` file since the release of this feature which is working really well for us. I was wondering if there was a parameter that we could use to disable thin provisioning for the automatic rpool creation? Looking in the...

    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. Each drive in the mirror as reported by zpool status seems to follow a different "disk-by-id" naming convention. The nvme drives have identical model numbers, firmware configurations...

    ZFS pool disappeared

    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...
