right now i have about 4.4TB+ of ai models between all the different text/image versions, loras and all the different things related to them all and for ollama since it cant just use the files as other options can. which is too much really, but...
yeah i think id probably skip the special devices unless i end up getting some more NVMEs or something
it has seemed to at least improve results slightly from what i have noticed although barely noticeable, i have also just been using it as a...
so yes :)
l2arc almost never yields useful results. you're better off just using the drive seperately.
More to the point- what is your usecase? in a homelab, its common that your bulk storage can be slow without any real impact. put your...
I have upgraded to Proxmox 9.1.7 with kernel 6.17.13-2
Then noticed the GPU wasn't working in my VM.
Trying to investigate, I tried to query `lspci`, but this commands hangs/freezes, without printing any output. It just hangs forever.
Cannot kill...
IBM Storage arrays can be one of many different solutions/topologies. It would be useful to mention what model/topology product you're referring to. Having said that- it most likely is a block device so yes, lvm would still be necessary if you're...
I didn't but will definitevly change this asap ;) One should take into account that for zswap you always need physical swap as backing device. For example if you use the defaults of PVEs installer for ZFS you will endup without space for a...
Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't have the documentation for that plugin yet; it was simply mentioned by the IBM team. I wanted to see if anyone has hands-on experience with this integration, and what the environment's performance has been like using...

The issue is something that I didn't expect and I'm willing to mark this as solved. Two of the three nodes had maxed out primary hdds (not the pool) because of a backup job. I didn't notice it until now and didn't expect something else to be...
zswap is great, but is no substitute for ram. if you are using a production environment (read: for money) just provision sufficient ram. yes its expensive, but its worth much more in consistent performance.
Did we mention this (much newer) article in the other threads? https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html
I must admit that I haven't had zswap on my agenda at all. I read the article twice - and did not understand it...
We have set up a single-node Proxmox environment with storage backed by an FC LUN. Two storage types are configured on it: one as LVM and the other as directory storage.
Recently, we attempted to migrate a VM from VMware to Proxmox. We tried...
Hello,
I am running PVE 9 on Dell R630. It has dual port QLogic card. lspci shows the following:
5f:01.0 Ethernet controller: QLogic Corp. ISP4032-based Ethernet IPv6 NIC
5f:01.1 Network controller: QLogic Corp. ISP4032-based iSCSI TOE IPv6 HBA...
that is good to know, just write right?
i am weary of using special devices, if one of those fails the pool goes down too right? so its best to use mirrors there too?
i planned to use l2arc from an NVME but i wanted to go low risk routes that...
I have been seeing this too and it started getting worse with more VMs showing IO delays and high IO Pressure Stalls.
I unchecked IO thread for a few VMs Hard Disk attributes, rebooted the VMs and now no more IO delays and IO Pressure Stalls...
