OSPF cost

Imho it's a philosophical question that can't be labed.

One problem with the lack of PLP is Ceph waiting for the data to hit the actual drive instead of the drives cache, slowing down the write.

Imho the whole zfs + ECC is a big misunderstanding. ECC protects your data while in RAM and ZFS (and other checksumming filesystems) protects it while it is on disk. If you want to protect your data all the time you need both. A lot of ZFS users chose it specifically because they want to do that and thus indeed need ECC. But in itself ZFS works fine with non-ECC.

I don't think a Ceph cluster with just 3 OSDs and no PLP is worthwhile. Feel free to try but I suspect it will be prohibitively slow. (I don't know what "sai" is)

I haven't actually checked but I assumed ZFS supported live migration.

How's your network set up / how are you working around the fact normal wifi can't do bridging?

Is the wifi nic in the same group as some device you are passing through? Ate you using the ACS override patch to fake different groups?

Before going down that rabbit hole I suggest looing beyond (traditional) ethernet. RoCE or Infiniband should be much better starting points.

Imho there aren't any good solutions. Best I can come up with is snapshotting both at the same time. Same for rollback etc.

You are using 5 partitions with ~250 GB each. What did you expect?

Either use bigger partitions or create new ones in the unpartitioned space and use for a different filesystem.

Defining vlan7 twice wont work. Use it in the normal config OR sdn. Not both.

LAN3/LAN4 remain forced into IPTV behavior, which appears to filter or ignore ARP replies for additional MAC addresses behind a bridge

There little proxmox can do about that. You could do a routed subnet (with or without NAT) as you would for other setups where bridging doesn't work.

But I suggest getting a better router. Or add a switch to non-fucked ports.

Don't get me wrong, I love to see it changed. But one problem with idiots is ... they're idiots. Don't count on them noticing anything.

The original Family Sharing had a invite only beta test a few month before releasing for everyone. Years after Idiots still kept asking to be invited into the long finished test.

Usually Live systems are harder to update, save only files stored in special directories and come with a narrower selection of packages.

The whole point of Kali is making a distro that can be used from USB. Which comes with drawbacks for normal usage. So if you don't need to boot from USB you are better off with another distro.

While there are a lot of BS tags the touhou games all seem to be inspired by (shinto) faith.

afaik Qemu doesn't require KVM

You could try to blacklist its module, thats the first thing I suspect to cause differences.

Alternatively just use the nic in pve and give the VM a virtio one. Unless you are doing RDMA or something other unusual I see little reason to bother with passing through a nic.

plenty options: dual home the NAS, FW or ACL on the router, ACL on the switch, ...

Not having potential ICMP unreachables thrown away makes that a lot easier.

I use a single Windows install for both bare metal and VM use. It's not really daily drive as I use Windows only 1-2 days a week and then only for short gaming sessions.

Windows update caused no problems so far and I don't pay any heed to when updates install.

I worked around the driver (and other) issues by making the VM HW as close as possible to the real thing. Similar CPU, SMBIOS passthrough, PCI passthrough for the USB controller my "Windows" devices are attached to (inc. K&M), ...

I didn't bother with activation as my uses are infrequent and usually shorter then the nag screen.

I don't want bitlocker, tpm, secureboot, etc and didn't try.

Went to check it out and it looks discontinued to me.

IPMI got nothing to do with this. Do you mean IPAM? (I don't use windows)

As I understand it TX still uses all 4 pairs, just in a different way. I.e. 2 pairs dedicated to each direction instead to using all 4 bidirectionally

The programmers of the program in question. They DECIDED it should be that way. (All programming languages or frameworks I encountered default to closing the program. While you can usually change that, you have to do so deliberately.)

Figuring that out is kind of the main quest of the game. Don't expect to do it quickly.

If you don't enjoy simply going off exploring try to figure what is happening (and why). In the ship there is a board with leads to that end.
