I think the confusion mainly comes from mixing several different layers of virtualization and containers.
Proxmox itself is a hypervisor and management platform, not a Docker platform. Docker (and Portainer) is a separate container ecosystem...
Your partition layout actually looks reasonable.
In Proxmox, the installer parameters maxroot and maxvz are meant to separate two different purposes:
maxroot – space for the Proxmox system itself (OS, /var/log, packages, temporary files, etc.)...
hello, does somebody know why disconnecting the vm network device is considered to be an "advanced operation", whereas setting the vlan tag or mac adress is considered basic operation?
i'm curious, because i have disconnected network multiple...

Hi,
a backup snapshot is only considered complete if all of the specified archives are backed up completely. Easiest way to achieve what you would like to do is to invoke the proxmox-backup-client command for each archive individually, maybe...
It looks like there is a conflict between your storage type and how the disks are being addressed.
LVM storage should not have .qcow2 extensions in their paths. Seeing /dev/.../*.qcow2 in your logs suggests that Proxmox might be trying to treat...
To be fair haben @Bu66as Beiträge hier im Thread dem User ja schon weitergeholfen. Ich finde den Stil aber auch leicht enervierend, insbesondere wenn im Beitrag (nicht hier aber an anderer Stelle) einfach nur etwas, was ein anderer User schon...

Thanks for your input!
That's a valid point regarding the total LXC swap usage versus the available swap on the host.
I'm still not entirely sure if that's the primary cause in my case, so I'll keep investigating other possibilities as well...
Hi @Onslow, thank you so much for the time you're taking. Apologies for not having mentioned the NAS before, at times we tend to think that things are apparent, while they are not, don't we?
The NAS is a nice but comparatively old device (HP...
> Glad to hear that you issue has been solved! Just to confirm, as far as I can understand, the issue has been fixed by a combination of BIOS update + OVMF in the VM, correct?
Yes!
dmidecode -t bios
# dmidecode 3.6
Getting SMBIOS data from...
Watch out when doing PBS backups with that setting. If I remember correctly, PBS makes use of that.
To get back to your initial question "How to reduce wear out" the correct answer IMHO would be:
Don't worry!
Others here recommended PLP drives...
That is what I thought, but I am not sure if this is entirely correct.
In the logs you can see this, no matter if the VM was running or not, when using stop mode:
INFO: scsi0: dirty-bitmap status: created new
So there is some dirty-bitmap that...

You can decrease the wearout per time if you use a device with PLP - actually writing data to the hardware cells is going to happen more infrequent. Unfortunately the A400 series lacks this feature.
Additionally PLP will increase the...
hi, it looks like your SSD is handling both OS and VM I/O, which accelerates wear.
Check if TRIM is active (fstrim -v /), and enable discard on LVM/VM disks to free unused blocks.
Move logs, swap, and RRD data off the SSD or into tmpfs/ramdisk...

I like ZFS but it tends to perform badly with VMs on HDDs. without disabling sync or...
Just wanted to come back and say a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. All the advice and suggestions have been incredibly helpful.
I have made quite a few changes to my setup since my first post and wanted to share where...
