[akashb2611]

Hi Guys,

Can someone help me with installtion of kvdo and vdo with proxmox 8.2 and Linux 6.8.12.

I tried this link "https://github.com/dm-vdo/vdo/issues/47" but i am getting lot of errors while building.

I am attaching the output file when running "make -j $(nproc) -C /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) M=$(pwd)"

Request you all to please help.

If u search for VDO in the forum u will find a hint that thats not possible. When u explain your goal then wie can give an advice.

My end goal is to enable compression on lvm thin pool, i am planning to use linstor/drbd for shared pool. I did tried ZFS with linstor on proxmox but i am not getting good performance compared to lvm. Hence i want to try lvm with compression on using vdo.

Is it possible? Please suggest.

I would not advice to use drbd direct on the pve host. Better is using it on a dedicated system. For direct usage on PVE u should create on every storage host a vm with HBA passthrough and a Redhat Distro Like Rocky Linux. With it u have all Software u need Like VDO, LVM and drbd integraded. But I find it to complicated. Better would be to use zfs and replication.
