    Mirrored VDEVS striped + GC > SSD / NVME usage

    Hello everyone! We currently have a PBS server in ZFS with a mirror pool (2 x 4TB HDD 7200trs 128mo cache).

    [SOLVED] ZFS pool almost full despite reducing zvol size

    I have a PVE host that is currently reporting that "local-zfs" is nearly full. There is only one guest with one virtual disk stored in this pool; the virtual disk was originally 50TB and I have since reduced it to 43TB using zfs set volsize=43T rpool/data/vm-301-disk-0.

    Proxmox ZFS ARC cache max size (auto)configuration script

    "ZFS ate half of my RAM." - :eek: That's pretty much how it started. Diving deeper to this subject it appeared that it's very common problem. Here are few topics on this forum that I read to understand what's going with ram: "Disable ZFS ARC or limiting it" "zfs_arc_max does not seem to work"...

    Storage snapshots causes disk performance degradation

    Hi! I found some comments about using Snapshots (LVM or ZFS or GlusterFS ) in Storage causes disk performance degradation ( permanent slow I/O ), but if you remove all the Snapshots, the performance is returning to normal. Has anyone here had a similar experience?
