Best video I have found on setting up proxmox storage. Simple, clear, and to the point. Thanks

[ncasale]

Hands down the best video I could find explaining this to new Proxmox admins. Thank you so much.

[youcrockyvence]

Concise and very specific to details. Couldn't have asked for a better tutorial!

[GutsyGibbon]

Thanks, exactly what I needed. I'm using all three of your examples, added disk, a mirror pair of other disks in ZFS, and an NFS mount to my NAS.

I love these Proxmox tutorials. Best one's ive seen so far!!!

[hardbrocklife]

Yay, someone with a setup similar to mine!

Using a Dell R720 as a homelab. Flashed the H710p mini raid controller to IT mode, as I want to use ZFS instead to learn it. I have 7x 3tb drives and 1x 14tb. I want to use the 14tb as a NAS/back up location for many other things. This video has exactly the information that I needed. Already looking forward to the next suggested video as well.

LVM-Thin is just for local storage, but I always use it if not using ZFS. And I love ZFS, but it is slow and troublesome in old and/or weaker hardware. It will also consume a lot of resources even in recent hardware. The main thing about LVM-Thin is setting the metadata partition correctly (which depends on the chunk and disk sizes). It can be confusing and overwhelming when doing it the first time, but it is well worth the hassle, since it enables snapshots and gives you an easy way to expand your storage pools. Also, I tend to use XFS if not using ZFS. It is fast and reliable.

7:20 thank you for explaining datasets under ZFS pools

[ryanrulon]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create these fantastic Proxmox videos! How did you convert that p420i to HBA mode? Did you have to use the ssacli?

[TubeKens]

With LVM, you can resize flawlessly. Easier to manage multiple drives and partitions.

Since I have one M2.SSD Samsung I selected ZFS single drive for that drive.

[BrianThomas]

Thank you very much. Do you have a video that talks about HA storage in Proxmox? Can I use the local storage in all my VM's in a cluster to replicate to allow for some sort of HA storage cluster?

[alexgarner]

What would you recommend for a homelab environment of 3 PCs with internal storage, for storage setup if there's an existing NAS for bulk storage? I.e one SSD internal drive per node, only to be used for VM / CT storage and backupsz etc. ZFS / CEPH the three internal drives (one drive per machine)?

[giancarlosrm]

Really appreciate this video, I have so.many issues with lvm and why the default proxmox install, could you cover more on a Video!!
