    Flexible storage options within Proxmox?

    I'm looking for possible solutions to have "flexible" storage within Proxmox. I'm finding some vague information regarding adding/removing drives to a ZFS pool, I'm confused as to what a VDEV is within a ZFS pool, I'm feeling overwhelmed and I'm hoping for some guidance. Please allow me to...

    ZFS pool not auto-mounting at boot after zpool upgrade fix

    A very minor issue but one I'm hoping there's an easy fix for. In brief, I made the mistake of running zpool upgrade a while back which of course borked my system rendering it unbootable. Thankfully, I found the specific page that describes how to fix it and managed to unbork things so that the...

    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). We would like to add a second one to that pool (mirrored vdevs striped) in order to gain performance (RAID10-like). Our idea is also to improve Garbage Collector performance (maximizing...

    [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. Anyone experience this...

    Hi pve users, I recently finished installing my services on the proxmox server running on zimaboard 432. The installation is on two mirrored SATA disks with ZFS. Since I have the version with 4GB of soldered RAM, the memory runs out immediately, at the moment I only use four containers which...

    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"...

    Move Disk Soft Locks All Storage

    I have been struggling with an issue for the past few weeks where using either "Move Disk" in the GUI or "qm move disk" in the CLI from one ZFS pool to another soft locks all storage pools on the host, VMs become entirely unresponsive. This only seems to happen with VMs >30GB, for some reason...

    Sanity check on Intel NUC
