I reinstalled proxmox 8.4 about 2h ago and its been really slow. The website isn't responding when up and then takes a while to load in the new packages which is fine but I wanted to say it adds on. I want to know is its maybe my storage type, network, or proxmox rn that I should consider.. My performance was alot quicker before even with 8.4 proxmox. I've installed it about 4 times to get my storage right at boot but its extra slow now

My Storage:
~2tb SAS Drive
~1tb HDD
ZFS RAID0

You should always have redundancy - especially I believe with ZFS.

You may want to consider why you chose ZFS at all above regular ext4, which has less overhead. There are benefits from ZFS - but consider if you actually need them.

You seem to have installed Proxmox a number of times, so contrast & compare the differences with each installation - to discover the different responsiveness of your system. Only you know what these actually are.

If that last installation was from the latest ISO - which is Version 8.4-1, & the others were from an older install (<=8.4.0) - then possibly something that changed in the version could have caused this.

Good hunting.

I literally redownloaded the iso for proxmox a few days ago because I forgot I had one and been using that new iso to get my setup right. I remade it about 3 times in a row, I used ext and got it working but I didn't want to add every disk individually so I remade it with raid0 right after. Thats when the service on proxmox-debian started taking longer to load an there was a new gui compared to the last installation on the same iso

This is odd. Describe the difference.

I think I got it. It was running the shell for updating repositories and downloading things were slower and most things on the gui overall. I think it was the zfs doing this. I switched back to ext and looked up the differences
 
Good. Happy you got it working.

Maybe mark this thread as Solved. At the top of the thread, choose the Edit thread button, then from the (no prefix) dropdown choose Solved.
