you understand wrong, the disk you pass must be at least as big as the old one for a direct replacement. else, if you have the option to put in all disks you could also create a new pool and zfs send/recv your datasets over. but that requires a...
I have my install on a 2 136g spinning HDDs. I'd like to replace both of them with 120G ssds.
When I use zfs replace rpool current-disk new-disk I get "cannot replace, device is too small.
As I understand it, ZFS should accept a smaller disk...
I've made some progress, maybe...
It seems AV1 encoding is not possible with this CPU. I've tried H264 QSV encoding but gotten the same errors. I've also tried H264 VAAPI and received an error about a subtitle stream in the file. Seeing what I...
I had read some threads online that said using bridge NIC's can have worse performance and that using PCIE pass through can help to get faster speeds. I also watched some YouTube videos on TrueNAS on Proxmox, and some of them reccomended using...
It seems that snapshots can cause issues in this setup, and the feature isn’t fully stable or production-ready yet. In addition, qcow2 isn’t really suitable for large disks.
Thank you!
Regardless of bridge or passthrough, that really depends on whether the network bandwidth is the bottleneck. You have given no information about why you think this would be the case,
Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation — that’s very helpful and makes sense regarding qcow2 metadata overhead and potential risks.
Just to confirm my understanding:
If I switch back to using RAW disks over iSCSI (without qcow2) and let the...
If it matters, the Dells in production are 13th-generation using Intel Broadwell CPUs. Still firmware supported by Dell. They will eventually get EOL'd by Dell but then again, I have 10th-, 11th-, 12th-gen Dells running Proxmox.
I recommend...
I had read online that using PCIE pass through rather than a bridge NIC would give better performance. Is this the case, or would I not notice the difference?
Would it be worth using two different physical NIC's, one for TrueNAS and one for...
Hi all,
I'm trying to limit the GUI to just the loopback, so it's only accessible via a SSH port redirect, ie
ssh proxmox.server -L8006:localhost:8006
But where do I configure the listen address for the pve-proxy? I've tried...
It's an Aoostar WTR MAX NAS system. Been running 4 months now, getting the GPU passthrough was a pain, but really no other problems.
Sorry, I can't advise on that, I have 7 nodes in my Proxmox cluster, so it's difficult to separate the power...
I’ll be using it in a production environment. My main goal is to ensure high availability (HA) and stable operation, since I currently have over 100 VMs running. The ability to perform snapshots is essential for my setup.
However, live...
Hi,
When you back up a VM in Proxmox, it only saves the data that’s actually used, not the empty space. The backup is also compressed, so the file size is usually smaller than the VM’s disk size.
For example, if each VM is 200 GB but only 100...
No need for a full downgrade. I just simply upgrade/downgrade one specific driver if needed (like vioscsi in this case) - just "install" the INF file from ISO and in the driver update dialog, pick it from a list.
The bug I described is usually...
Hi @fanton ,
The server task suitability is not measured by who produced it. Any Enterprise server is generally suitable to run Linux.
What you need to ask yourself:
- how many virtual machines will I need?
- how many virtual cores?
- how much...
Migrating Dell VMware clusters at work to Proxmox. I just make sure all the hardware is the same (CPU, memory, storage, storage controller, networking, firmware, etc).
Swapped out Dell PERCs for Dell HBA330s since ZFS & Ceph don't work with RAID...
Most of the hardware complaints reported in the forum are by homelab users. A single-packet AMD server from any of the major vendors will do the job just fine. You will likely need at least two Compute servers with additional node for quorum. Or...
This sounds like a firewall is blocking port 53, are you sure that your ISP, your router or yourself didn't blocked it somehow?
There is also a great (although a little older) tutorial from @Dunuin in the forum how to setup Pihole together with...
