Fuck, I just left for a month away and I hate to do major upgrades when remote.

I just did three nodes this evening from 8.4.1 to 9, no issues other than a bit of farting around with my sources.list files.

Not noticing anything significant, but I haven't tried the mobile interface yet.

I'd also like to know.

I built a new machine seceral months back with PVE and got the hang of it but it's been "set it and forget it" since then due to everything running smoothly. Now I don't remember half the things I learned and don't want to get in over my head running into issues during a major upgrade. I definitely do want the ability to expand my ZFS pool so I will need to bite the bullet eventually.

It will vary but for me it was smooth

I just did one of my two nodes. Easy upgrade, looks good so far.

Previous 3 major release upgrades I've done were smooth, ymmv

Edit2: the following is no longer true, so ignore it.

Why do you want this? There are very few valid use cases for it.

Edit: this is a serious question. Adding a member to a vdev does not automatically move any of the parity or data distribution off the old vdev. You'll not only have old data distributed on old vdev layout until you copy it back, but you'll also now have a mix of io requests for old and new vdev layout, which will kill performance.

Not to mention that the metadata is now stored for new layout, which means reads from the old layout will cause rw on both layouts. It's not actually something anyone should want, unless they are really, really stuck for expansion.

And we're talking about a hypervisor here, so performance is likely a factor.

Jim Salter did a couple writeups on this.

Not something that sounds production ready lol

Started a system upgrade at 3am…you ok?

Thanks for posting this and reminding me to never go back to Proxmox. My Proxmox server killed itself and all VM's twice before I moved onto HyperV.

You could just start over if you dont have much invested into your current setup.

i don't think so

As someone who also started proxmox fairly recently, I found that the community has these really cool scripts that you can use to get started. Obviously you're running bash scripts on your main node for some, so there are risks involved with that but in my experience it's been great.

Testing in production? Brave move mate. :)

Keep on telling yourself that, but most of us aren’t on physical console anyways

Thanks for pointing this out, I’ve just checked it and it’s supposed to be out on 09.08

That's right.

Fucking epic.
