Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems
SeeJayEmm@lemmy.procrastinati.org 6 months agoMedia should exist in its own with a tuned record size of 1mb
Should the vm storage block size also be set to 1MB or just the ZFS record size?

most filesystems as mentioned in the guide that exist within qcow2, zvols, even raws, that live on a zfs dataset would benefit form a zfs recordsize of 64k. By default the recordsize will be 128k.
I would never utilize 1mb for any dataset that had vm disks inside it.
I would create a new dataset for media off the pool and set a recordsize of 1mb. You can only really get away with this if you have media files directly inside this dataset. So pics, music, videos.
The cool thing is you can set these options on an individual dataset basis. so one dataset can have one recordsize and another dataset can have another.
