I won’t be running ZFS on any solid state media, I’m using spinning rust disks meant for NAS use.

My desire to move to ZFS is bitrot prevention and as a result of this:

Good point. Having a small VM that just needs the HBA passed through sounds like the best idea so far. More portable and less dependencies.

I’m starting to think this is the way to do it because it loses the dependency on Proxmox to a large degree.

Could this because it’s a RAIDZ-2/3? They will be writing parity as well as data and the usual ZFS checksums. I am running RAID5 at the moment on my HBA card and my limit is definitely the 1Gbit network for file transfers, not the disks. And it’s only me that uses this thing, it sits totally idle 90+% of the time.

Did you have atime on?

What I have now is one VM that has the array volume passed through and the VM exports certain folders for various purposes to other VMs. So for example, my application server VM has read access to the music folder so I can run Emby. Similar thing for photos and shares out to my other PCs etc. This way I can centrally manage permissions, users etc from that one file server VM. I don’t fancy managing all that in Proxmox itself. So maybe I just create the zpool in Proxmox, pass that through to the file server VM and keep the management centralised there.

I’m not intending to run Proxmox on it. I have that running on an SSD, or maybe it’s an NVME, I forget. This will just be for data storage mainly of photos that one VM will manage and NFS share out to other machines.

Dictator over cats? You are so delusional.

You mean Stewart Grand Prix and Minardi.

I think Buemi still does sim work for them.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has a fantastic soundtrack. Can really push a system to its limits.

Another thing that makes no sense is if my ISP provided prefix changes -which it will- this affects the IP addressing on my local network. Ain’t noboby got time for that if you’re managing a company or having anything other than a flat home network with every device equal.

IPv6 is just people shouting NAT BAD, but frankly having separate address ranges inside and outside a house is a feature. A really really useful feature. Having every device have a public IP6 address I’d an anti-featute.

On my local network I want governance over my devices. I want specific firewall rules per device, so I can, for instance, block YouTube only on the kids devices. I want this to be centrally managed, so configured on my opnsense router. I want all devices to use IP6. Unfortunately none of this is possible.

To setup firewall rules I need DHCPv6, not SLAAC so my IPs on my local network that I manage are well known and fixed. Android devices don’t support DHCPv6. And the designers of IP6 were daft enough to set the priority of IPv4 above that of their new protocol. So basically if you have any IPv4 addresses on a device, they’ll be preferred by basically all operating systems - because that’s what the spec says. So you can’t run dual stack in a meaningful way.

TL;DR: IPv6 on a local network has not been thought through at all even though it’s incredibly old, it’s really immature.

He should try making a better car

I’ve lived in 14 different houses. I can’t remember any of the moves being particularly bad. Hard work, yes. Have had a couple of sofas not get through doors. Worst related thing was moving into first unfurnished place and assembling the new wooden bed on day 1 with a manual screwdriver that wrecked my hands and left me exhausted. Next day I bought an electric screwdriver and it’s remained one of my top purchases of all time.

You can run proxmox in a VM and have it run VMs to try it out. It also works on standard desktop hardware which is what I running it on.
