    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?

    ZFS in-tree kernel builder (to avoid missing dependencies on boot)

    Dear Proxmox Community, I have a project I wrote back in 2021 I'm re-writing with Proxmox in mind. I met a local business owner who hosts his servers on Proxmox, and he sounded interested when I mentioned I had compiled ZFS modules inside a kernel, so it sparked some interest in me to...

    What to do with my old ZFS zpool of Steam Games [Changing Old Windows PC into Proxmox]

    Hello, I am in the middle of trying out Proxmox for the first time. My old PC used to be Windows 10 which had 4 Hard Drives running as a Zpool, accessed by Windows. It was a pain to get ZFS to work for me using OpenZFSOnWindows, but it worked. The Zpool stored a large quantity of games from...

    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...

    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.
