zfs best practices

Hallo zusammen, wir haben einen Server mit 2x 32GB SATA-DOMs auf denen ein ZFS-Mirror läuft als Pool rpool. Dieser wurde durch den Proxmox-7 ISO Installer vor 1,5 Jahren installiert. Die DOMs sind die SSD-DM032-SMCMVN1 die von SuperMicro mit 1DWPD angegeben sind. Nun hat der smartd...

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't decide what would be best. More RAM, and additional L2ARC - and in that case which type? Proxmox is currently running on a HP DL380 G9 with one PCI-E slot available, so I could get a card that supports NVMe and add around 250 GB fast...

My current NAS setup has Proxmox VE running on bare metal and TrueNAS Scale running in a VM. I created a zfs pool "appspool" from the UI: Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS I then created a TrueNAS scale VM and passed through the disk qm set 900 --scsi2...

I have a single NVMe drive for Proxmox to boot from. I'm going to add 2x SATA enterprise SSDs to my host, create a ZFS mirror, then move my VMs/CTs to that mirror. Is there any benefit from having separate datasets for VMs and CTs (like below), or should I put everything on the pool itself...

Hi, in my 2nd attempt to switch over to Proxmox from OMV, I want to move away from an ancient Dell Server with Xeon X3440 that is great for disk storage capacity but terrible on power consumption, noise and thermal exhaust. Therefore, I want to downsize my homelab server to an unused MacMini...

Hey, I'm new to Proxmox. I want to setup a Nextcloud in a Ubuntu Container and want to use a ZFS dataset that is mounted on the HOST under /media/nextcloud/. Before, I did not use Proxmox and just had Ubuntu installed on the machine directly and used this dataset to store all nextcloud data...

I might not be searching the correct terms, but I haven't really found any information on ways to manage snapshots for VMs running in zvols on ZFS. - Our system runs VMs on a zpool, and I let PVE automatically create a new zvol for each VM. - I have setup zfs-auto-snapshot to take incremental...

I've been running Proxmox about 2 years now and I'm always struggling with high IO issues. Due to conficting information online I've tried a ton of different settings and although it has been better then it was it's still not great. So I thought I would write this post and ask for some help...

I use Proxmox to host a bunch of container and VMs, but I also have created some other (non-pve-related) ZFS pools/datasets on my PVE host. I was exploring 3rd-party scripts for automatically creating snapshots of these datasets (specifically this one...

Greetings all! Any suggestions for our new server install? We just ordered two refurbed Dell 620 servers. Here's their stats: Dual Intel E5-2690 V2 3.0GHz 10-Core 256GB DDR3 ( 16x16GB 12800R ) Mini H310 Raid Controller (Flashed to HBA mode) iDRAC 7 Enterprise with license 10GB SPF+dual 1gigE...
