Hey All,
I currently have 5 Proxmox 9 servers clustered and working well. I'm using a TrueNAS M40 for Block Storage via iSCSI. I cannot successfully get templates to clone off of, or successfully clone a VM. VMs are running fine. Hiccup we've encountered is that the zvol needs to be 4k or less and the extent on iSCSI as Legacy OS (512 Block Size) for templates/cloning to work. I've tried a number of other combinations with no luck. Something I saw said that the block size for the zvol needs to be 16 or 64. If I do less then 32k, I lose out on a storage cap. I also loose out on IOPS and other beneficial stuff when lowering.... Does anyone know of alternatives to get the templates to function? Current plan is to leverage a separate server to host them, then deploy a clone there, back it up, and send that backup to the cluster for use.
