    inresting. so it would seem that the stats written by the kernel in /sys/block/*/stat contains wrong value .. ?

    You could try needrestart: needrestart man page By default, it runs in interactive mode, i.e. if you update from the CLI (apt update && apt full-upgrade), it tells you whether a reboot is necessary, lists all services that need to be restarted...

    There is another old thread about that topic as well as bugzilla entry. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/feature-request-proxmox-ve-scheduled-tasks.152468/ https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7539

    You could only grant them access to manually execute shutdowns via the UI with VM.PowerMgmt perms on a pool or on individual guests. For the scheduling you'd need to go outside PVE. Either drive the API directly with a token scoped to that same...

    OK, I'm quite confident that I've found and isolated the problem (and will drop it on github soon). So let's start with the analysis. At first, be careful that virtio releases in time are not relevant to the commit dates. I mean that if you see...

    Just an intermediate update: while I'm quite sure that at least my latest Patch 3 is more than competent and production-ready candidate, in the hunt of another WS2025-related problems on PVE I found a whole bunch of another threads about the...

    Virtual machine support is better classified first by CPU architecture rather than by the guest OS itself. At this point, the relevant architectures are x86 and ARM. The next question is whether the guest OS supports the virtual hardware...

    PVE doesn't have a 'supported' list, I am assuming this is a list of VMs you're wanting to export from an existing system like vSphere? You can run essentially any x86-64 OS, so all of those are fine. The OS Type field in PVE isn't a...

    Can you run the benchmark command on your PBS host? My setup is some pretty old hardware with six disk RAID10 with 7200RPM WD4002FYYZ: (Forgot to mention, this is with mirrored SSDs as a special device.)...

    Yea I get your point. Im a cheapskate :-). Yea dual parity with already slow drives doesent help. It was another Proxmox "specialist" who said against RAID10 to me. Opting that ZFS in software layer doesent depend on the RAID controllers...

    There is now a newer pve-manager with version 9.2.12 available on the pve-test repo and a backport of that as 8.4.22 for PVE 8's pvetest repo, matching our respective test repo of the ceph-squid and ceph-tentacle releases. There is some better...

    There is a long discussion here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/yet-another-zfs-on-hw-raid-thread-with-benchmarks.138947/ The problem is that ZFS is a sensitive topic, so to speak, so conversations seem to turn in to religious discussions with...

    As I said. I have 4 more disk. So we could play with 10 disks. But 1 VDEV with 2 disks gives the space of 1 disk correct ? Same as normal RAID10 HW? In this case. I have 10 disks. So It would end up a VDEV och 5x MIRROR with 500% write...

    What you call "span" is "VDEV" for ZFS and their number does matter a lot, especially when dealing with very slow drives. 5400 rpm SATA is basically as slow as you possibly could be. 6 drives in RAIDZ2 are only one VDEV and give write...
