    Set up ZPool, Replication, and HA - no snapshots. Grand total of less than 10TB worth of data. 32TB STZ reporting full, io-fault on a VM???

    2 nodes, 3rd node does not have access to ZPool, it is just a tiebreaker node for quorum. No snapshotting, backups are handled by Veeam to their own hardware (in other words, no backups in the web-interface of ProxMox). Everything migrated from a HyperV computer, where the 7TB was...

    ZFS not recognizing disk by-id after reboot

    Hello, I had a drive disappear from my ZFS pool (1 failed drive), so I decided to replace it. After the replacement, I rebooted the system and the pool came online successfully. However, when I ran zpool status to list all pools and disks, I noticed that two of the disks were not recognized by...

    zfs-import@.service failing to import a zfs pool that no-longer exists

    I am new to Proxmox. When I was testing I setup a zfs pool, but later wanted to remove it as I wanted to change the ashift value and zpool name. I couldn't work out how to do it and was impatient, so I just deleted the partitions via CLI and rebooted. Thankfully, I now know the correct way of...

    ZFS on Linux zpool disk spin-up daemon

    The Linux runtime power management (RPM) provides everything necessary to put unused disks to sleep and wake them up when required. If properly configured this can save energy in SOHO environments where disks often idle in the night and during non office hours. However, a major drawback when...

    How to specify numeric ID for zfs pool import at bootup?

    Hi: I managed to hose my pve server. It won't import/start a pool. I have to manually do a 'zpool import <pool guid>' to import the pool. The inconvenient part is that virtually all of my LXCs run off that pool, so I have to manually start each of those after importing the pool. Essentially...

    Zpool won't expand after replacing disks.

    Not too long ago, I decided to increase the capacity of my rpool, and replace it's SATA SSDs with larger NVMe disks. So I attached the two new larger NVMe disks to the rpool and let it resilver. I decided to leave the SATA disks in place until I next had the time and need to reboot the server...

    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...

    performance problems

    Hello, I have a strange problem in one of our servers that I think is related to the ZFS volume. If I run a du or ncdu command on this server to read the files, it is extremely slow. Takes about 30/40 minutes per TB. I don't notice the problem with writing to it. Before making the backup, our...

    My new install of PBS (using latest 2.x) has been running fine for a few weeks, and in the last few days it suddenly becomes unavailable in PVE. Upon rebooting the PBS, I realise my rpool is gone. There has been no warnings about degrade, nothing about IO delays, nothing. Please see screen...
