Comment on Help Request - Proxmox Partitions/Boot - CloverBootLoader
Ac5000@lemm.ee 1 year agoThe original plan is to use an SD card with Clover in read-only mode to bootload Proxmox running on the NVMe drives. (Read-only to prevent frying the SD card) This server has a built in SD Card slot Dell calls “vFlash” that you can actually remotely partition and configure. That’s where I was going to put the final configuration of Clover.
How fast/often is Proxmox writing logging? It’s concerning that you say you had this fry some NVMes since that’s what I’m trying to do here. Is this a setting that you can adjust?

The problem is more with zfs on consumer grade NVMes. I have/had problems in that configuration due to the bigger sector sizes. Proxmox itself does do frequent writes, but I don’t know how often exactly. I know that my problems went away with not using zfs.

Thank you for the details and link.
I looked around a little and seems like there are settings to help avoid this problem. Letting me know about this problem makes sure I catch it early. Unlike some of the people I’ve found that didn’t see the problem until it was already pretty bad…
I’ll keep this in mind if I can ever get this to work.
