    Speed loss after switching from LVM to ZFS?

    I have a Dell R530, I recently switched from using RAID5 disks with the built in raid card to HBA mode and using ZFS. Before when I was using LVM, my sabnzbd could max out my connection (between 120-150mbps), however after switching I'm only hitting between 5-30mbps consistently. sab reports...

    What do you think about ZFS spare disks?

    I have to get on an airplane in order to visit my servers. Or use remote hands. You know how that can go. So, I'd rather not _need_ somebody visiting my servers. Or at least as little as possible. And some of its old junk. So it dies. Enter the spare disk conundrum. It's easy to find ZFS...

    LVM / ZFS possible safe and sensible disk layout

    Hi guys, since I'm still at the beginning with proxmox (coming from unrai*) I'm wondering about the right disk layout. I have quite a wild growth concerning my hard disk landscape and wanted to ask if a ZFS makes sense or rather LVM? How could a possible ZFS make sense with the disks? I also...

    Proxmox VE 8.2.2 - High IO delay

    I am observing some very high (>40%, sometimes 80%) IO Delay on Proxmox VE 8.2.2 with pve-no-subscription Repository. Looking at some Posts over this Forum, this may be due to not using Enterprise-Grade SSD, although to be honest I don't necessarily "buy" this justification. I am using Crucial...

    [SOLVED] Replace Failed Drive in ZFS

    The documentation is clear on the command needed to replace the failed drive after the new one is installed: zpool replace -f <pool> <old-device> <new-device> However, I am unsure of what exact device name to use. The output of zpool list -v and zpool status both show device names that are...

    ZFS Cache Not being Configured

    I have 64 GB ram in my server. As ZFS is configured to utilize maximum RAM, I tried to reduce with following config in /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf to around 8 GB options zfs zfs_arc_min=8388608 options zfs zfs_arc_max=8388608 but still zfs was using 28 GB.

    Proxmox ZFS Performance Question - General Structure, PCI Passthrough and NVME SSDs

    I am currently planning to migrate to Proxmox, but would like to find out some important things before I actually take the step. Before I ask my questions, I think it is best to describe my setup/requirements: I don't run many VMs, but a few with high IOPS and consistency requirements, as I run...

    Difficulties with ZFS on one node

    I'll preface this with saying that I'm fairly new to Proxmox. I have built a couple of nodes multiple times as I've torn them back down and started over as I've learned more in my journey. Right now I've got two nodes and will be adding a third one shortly. The two existing nodes are identical...
