Hello,
right now we have used pve with sw raid and ext4.
After reading a lot of forum posts and Reddit threads, most people suggest to use ZFS.
We have one new pve node for several Windows Fileserver VMs.
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Matisse 8-core (Zen2) CPU 2 x 1 TB NVMe SSDs, 4 x 22 TB SATA HDDs, 64GB DDR4 ECC RAM
We configured SSDs as Raid1 and HDDs as Raid10.
What is your suggestion? Change to ZFS with mirrored special devices?
We would love to use the ssds for OS partitions of Windows VMs. But may it also make sense to use a part for metadata caching?
We haven‘t begun to migrate VMs so right now we can change the whole setup.
Thank you in advance!
