    Corrupt zpool disks not being discovered. How do I rebuild?

    I have a Proxmox server with a few zpools. One of the zpools `rust01` is a 4-disk zpool, where the metadata and write cache were some nvme m.2 drives on the motherboard (one for each - I know, stupid, but that's what was done). It appears as though the `rust01` has had a catastrophic failure...

    Replikation ohne Snapshots

    Hallo, ist es möglich, einen Replikations-Job so einzustellen, dass z.B. die hourly-Snapshots nicht mit gesendet werden?

You...

    I get it. I get it. 3 Nodes for Ceph. But what about ZFS shared?

    I have a pretty basic need, for a small business I own. Basically one VM that I need to run, and in essence I want HA, in the sense that if the node fails, it's taken over by another proxmox server. I'd prefer it to used shared storage ZFS, and I have this running in lab right now. I've stayed...

    Who is using a RAID controller?

    Should I sell the RAID controllers in each of my R740s and just put Mini H330 HBA controllers in? The general consensus seems to be to use ZFS, so why waste a PCIe slot on these things?
