Hi everyone!
It's been for several years that I've been using Proxmox as a simple VM Host, and I'm now going to use it with ZFS to enable Trim function and others functionnalities.
I'm using a DL160 gen10 with : - 4x2To SATA SSD in z-raid10 running 2 VM
- 2x1To SATA SSD in HW RAID1 running PROXMOX OS
- 2x4To SATA HDD in HW RAID1 dedicated to Snapshots and backups
- 1 NVMe 512Go SSD for ZFS caching
- 64Go RAM, at most running at 50% of capabilities in heavy use
I mentionned that I wanted to use TRIM functions, so some might be suprised to see that I use a HW RAID 1 for Proxmox. Simply because excepted the logs files, the caching must be used on NVMe SSD and nothing else runs on PROXMOX Drive.
I'm free to edit the configuration by now, so I'm simply showing you my configuration because I'm quite a beginner with ZFS optimization, so I'd be really grateful that you share me any advice/matters concerning my setup. I'm hear to learn, so do not hesitate to tell me what's wrong and what you'd recommend me to do.
Thank you.
