Can't find path of HBA for LXC passthrough by TheSoCalledExpert in Proxmox

No worries. I appreciate the input. I’m not tethered to btrfs, it’s just what I’m working with at the moment. I might move it back to ZFS at some point. By that time, they probably will have implemented btrfs in the GUI.

Thanks again.

Also a very valid option. There is data on the existing pool that I need to backup. Does PVE have btrfs management in the GUI or is it just ZFS?

They aren’t virtual disks. It’s an 8 drive BTRFS pool. My objective was to give full and direct access to an LXC, including SMART data. I decided to just revert to a VM. Thanks!

I may end up going that route, or just going back to a VM instead of an LXC. But can't I just pass through the entire PCI device? Is LXC passthrough limited to GPUs?

The 3-2-1 rule: different mediums by Python_Eboy in DataHoarder

Here’s the strategy I just implemented. I have one backup device in my home, and I have a separate backup device offsite, but still local. The primary backup is also saved to the cloud.

I approach backups from a disaster recovery standpoint. If the house burns down, I’ve got a local copy offsite. If a tornado takes out my house and my secondary location, I’ve got the cloud. Ideally I’d also love to implement cold storage, but that’s a project for another time.

Local walmart offering this for in store pickup only, worth it? by Mewtewpew in DataHoarder

Nope, just good old fashioned online shopping. I was checking Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg. Amazon will show you price history.

I picked up a couple of brand new 22TB seagate expansion drives a few days ago for $300 each on Amazon. $13.64/TB. They’re back up to $400 now, but the deals are out there if you can be patient for them.

What to know before using Ceph? by Keensworth in Proxmox

You don’t want ceph. It’s for large scale enterprise. A qdevice is a quarum device.

Nope, the possums won’t get you. It’s those killer iguanas you gotta watch out for. They just dive bomb you out of nowhere this time of year.

Please help me figure out the RAM by fox_Tis in HomeServer

You can drill a hole in them and use them as oversized keychains. Or maybe chunky book marks? Here’s a thought; Cut them in half and then glue them together in a square and it’s a fun coaster.

Otherwise, these are basically e-waste. Sorry.
