    Problem: PVE 8 migrating a replicated VM causes the VM to get 3-10x less IOPS

    Didn't know how to label this issue really. I couldn't find any similar post on the forums either. Two identical DELL servers, same specs. I am running PVE 8.0.4, updated to latest version. Servers are in a cluster (no QDevice yet, it's being prepared and is in testing at the moment). I have HW...

    [SOLVED] Windows VM I/O problems only with ZFS

We got two Dell R640 servers for PVE and another for PBS. For this testing purpose we are using 4x WD Blue 1TB SSDs (model...

    Hi peeps, I want to setup a new Proxmox machine and I am looking at buying some refurbished HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 which sports a Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller. I plan to use ZFS as base file system and read that the said controller takes the role of a HBA for all non-RAID...

    How to boot Proxmox PVE from degraded ZFS-RAID10 / grub rescue

    Hello, we are using a old, mostly unused Proxmox server (HP ProLiant DL160 Gen8) as backup/fail-safe Hypervisor for our infrastructure production VMs. I boot up that server ever week and clone the storage of those VMs via "zfs send" to it. Now it seems that one disk is broken and it does not...

    Storage does not allow other than disk image & container on ZFS pool?

    In the Datacentre settings, specifically Storage, it is impossible to select e.g. ISOs, templates, backups, etc. for a ZFS pool. Why? I understand that it is possibly a workaround to add a Dir being a ZFS dataset, but why not allowing selecting the actual pool? Does this have anything to do...

In an attempt to back up, delete, and restore an LXC to reduce volume size, I forgot that I had turned off backup for one 6 TB volume. I immediately shut down the node and have not turned it on since. I did...
