The problem is more with zfs on consumer grade NVMes. I have/had problems in that configuration due to the bigger sector sizes. Proxmox itself does do frequent writes, but I don’t know how often exactly. I know that my problems went away with not using zfs.

I wouldn’t suggest usb or sd-cards with proxmox due to its constant logging. You will fry them really quick unfortunately. Had that problem with NVMes.

For litterly anything else I would also suggest SD-Cards.

Hey, i have had the same trouble on an DL380 G9. Those bioses don’t support booting from PCIe at all. My server can’t even boot from drives from the Raid controller in IT-Mode.

I would suggest, by proxmox being a hypervisor, to just install proxmox on a single SATA disk and try to boot from there. This is what I have done in the end.

You can then use your NVMes as storage pool. Also you bifurcation can always also be a problem when trying to boot from those devices.

I would also as a last call try to disable bifurcation and see if one drive will show up. Maybe then you could use 2 real PCIe slots with cheap m2 to PCIe adapters.

I suspect nextcloud having performance issues with slow Disk IO. With rootless containers I had a much worse performance than rootfull. Also using MySQL Backend instead of SQLite did speedup the performance.

Nevertheless I have the same problems with nextcloud as you stated. Pretty much not as usable as I thought.

Love the fact that 100km is “near”. You would be nearly in an other country in Europe.

But that’s just insane for a 110k city. I mean I get it, it’s Cali and has a coast. But 1.2m for a normal home is just borderline undoable.

Are prices in small towns also exploding?

Compared to North America, including Canada it’s s whole lot better. Even the expensive city’s are more “affordable” than anything I’ve ever seen from the posts about new York.

But never the less it is still expensive.

I moved from the Crafty to the air max and not regretted the choice once.

The 722 seems to be on par with the specs of the crafty, so I will take this as reference point.

The air max has a detachable battery which is over twice the capacity. It can charge “faster” although I think the 722 will be in the same ballpark.

The heat chamber on the air max only touches with the glass mouth piece which also doubles as storage if your on the go. I have not cleaned the air max as deep as I clean my crafty due to mouthpieces design.

Also the air max is almost a complete metal construction, wich feels worlds more premium than any plastic vape I held before.

Also the vaper of the air max has a pretty good oompf to it. From my friends perspective the crafty is more like a draw on a jay where the air max is more a bong style vape. You can take deep long hits and the chamber will not cool too much.

Hope that helps somewhat.

Would suggest raid0 for maximum read speed /s
