I think that’s illegal in some places, like California and the EU.

Then you didn’t understand how the system uses swap.

Weird I still see the comment. I wouldn’t even know it was deleted if you hadn’t said something.

Looks like wireguard encrypts traffic to me.

Thanks I may give it a try if I’m feeling daring.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
Media 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?
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
That cheat sheet is getting bookmarked. Thanks.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I’m referring to this.
… using grub to directly boot from ZFS - such setups are in general not safe to run zpool upgrade on!
$ sudo proxmox-boot-tool status Re-executing '/usr/sbin/proxmox-boot-tool' in new private mount namespace.. System currently booted with legacy bios 8357-FBD5 is configured with: grub (versions: 6.5.11-7-pve, 6.5.13-5-pve, 6.8.4-2-pve)
Unless I’m misunderstanding the guidance.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
Proxmox is using ZFS. Opnsense is using UFS. Regarding the record size I assume you’re referring to the same thing this comment is?
You can always find some settings in your opnsense vm to migrate log files to tmpfs which places them in memory.
I’ll look into this.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I’ve done a bit of research on that and I believe upgrading the zpool would make my system unbootable.
- Comment on Good file servers for Proxmox 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t pass any phy disks through, if that’s what you mean. I’m using that system for more than OMV. I created disks for the VM like I would any other VM.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
This was really interesting, thanks for the info.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for all the info. I’ll keep this in mind if I replace the drive. I am using refurb enterprise HDDs in my main server. Didn’t think I’d need to go enterprise grade for this box but you make a lot of sense.

I’ve been happily running Open Media Vault in a Proxmox VM for some time now.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I may end up having to go that route. I’m no expert but aren’t you supposed to use different parameters when using SSDs on ZFS vs an HDD?
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I thought cheap SSDs and ZFS didn’t play well together?
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I’m starting to lean towards this being an I/O issue but I haven’t figure out what or why yet. I don’t often make changes to this environment since it’s running my Opnsens router.

I’m trying to think of anything I may have changed since the last time I rebooted the opnsense VM. But I try to keep up on updates and end up rebooting pretty regularly. The only things on this system are the opnsense VM and a small pihole VM. At the time of the screenshot above, the opnsense VM was the only thing running.
If it’s not a failing HDD, my next step is to try and dig into what’s generating the I/O to see if there’s something misbehaving.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
It’s an old Optiplex SFF with a single HDD. Again, my concern isn’t that it’s “slow”. It’s that performance has rather suddenly tanked and the only changes I’ve made are regular OS updates.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
While you’re waiting for that, I’d also look at the smart data and write the output to a file, then check it again later to see if any of the numbers have changed, especially reallocated sectors, pending sectors, corrected and uncorrected errors, stuff like that.
That’s a good idea. Thanks.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
I would start by making sure you have good recent backups ASAP.
I do.
Could be as simple as a service logging some warnings due to junk incoming traffic, or an update that added some more info logs, etc.
Possible. It’s a really consistent (and stark) degradation in performance tho and is repeatable even when the opnsense VM is the only one running.

Short test completed without error.

Kinda feel dumb that my answer is no. Let me do that and report back.

- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 2 weeks ago:
Yes. That’s why it’s called the Internet of things. Every “smart”, wifi connected, device you have uses that connection to communicate with a remote server. The app on your phone does the same to control the light.
Check out Zigbee for an example local control.

Zabbix & Grafana for supervision
@foremanguy32_@lemmy.ml personally I prefer CheckMk over Zabbix. I found Zabbix to be an absolute pig. Both are on the complex side. But really, you probably just need something like Uptime Kuma.
- Comment on Building my Homelab! 2 weeks ago:
That very much depends on what you want to do.
The self hosted mailing list has a directory of apps they track.
There’s also the Awesome Self hosted.
- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve got PBS setup to keep 7 daily backups and 4 weekly backups. I used to have it retaining multiple monthly backups but realized I never need those and since I sync my backups volume to B2 it was costing me $$.
What I need to do is shop around for a storage VM in the cloud that I could install PBS on. Then I could have more granular control over what’s synced instead the current all-or-nothing approach. I just don’t think I’m going to find something that comes in at B2 pricing and reliability.

A newbie should be running AIO in docker, which in my experience, has been pretty solid.

Nightly backups to a repurposed qnap running pbs. I’m fully aware it’s overkill but it gives me some peace of mind.
