Hi, I'd like to ask if there are any plans to use e.g. the shared storage as a quorum/voting disk like the oracle grid infrastructure uses it to get a two node ha cluster (for almost a decade). This obviously only works for NAS or SAN storage. Best, Andreas

Hi there, are there any plans to support ZFS filesystems exported by NFS to be managed by Proxmox? I'd be very great to have ZFS-backed storage similar to ZFS-over-iSCSI but with file storage instead of block storage. Is this even a wanted feature? Best, Andreas

It is also used for backups (e.g. filesystem freeze) which is very handy for hook-scripts. One thing I couldn't find is how long the timeout for the agent to respond is. If some hook-scripts take too long, I get timeouts while backing up. Would be great to know the limit and maybe increase it.

Normally hugepages are setup via sysctl.conf. Default size is always 2 MB. No need for kernel commandline editing. Why exactly are you using hugepages? Can KVM handle hugepages? Normally hugepages implies no KSM, isn't that right? On Thu, May 12, 2016 at 12:57 PM, Dietmar Maurer
