    There is no way to get acceptable IOPS out of HDDs within Proxmox. Your IO delay will be insane. You could at best stripe a ton of HDDs but even then one enterprise grade SSD will smoke it as far as performance goes. Post screenshots of your current Proxmox HDD/SSD disk setup with your ZFS pool, services, and IO delay and then we can talk. The difference that enterprise gives you is night and day.

    Yes I’m specifically referring to your ZFS pool containing your VMs/LXCs. Enterprise SSDs for that. Get them on ebay. Just do a search on the Proxmox forums for enterprise vs consumer SSD to see the problem with consumer hardware for ZFS. For Proxmox itself you want something like an NVME with DRAM, specifically underprovisioned for an unused space buffer for the drive controller to use for wear leveling.























  • An apologist is someone who makes it their work to defend a position, usually one that is under constant barrage from critics. In this case, proving the existence of a Christian God. Now that we know the context, we can examine the poem itself within that context.

    From all my lame defeats and oh! much more

    From all the victories that I seemed to score;

    From cleverness shot forth on Thy behalf

    At which, while angels weep, the audience laugh;

    From all my proofs of Thy divinity,

    Thou, who wouldst give no sign, deliver me.

    Taken in context, it begins to make more sense. Lewis is reflecting on his attempts at refuting critics of Christianity. Sometimes he fails, sometimes he succeeds. The last verse is a call to God to help out his cause, to provide solid proof of His existence, yet He does not.

    Thoughts are but coins. Let me not trust, instead

    Of Thee, their thin-worn image of Thy head.

    From all my thoughts, even from my thoughts of Thee,

    O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.

    Lord of the narrow gate and the needle’s eye,

    Take from me all my trumpery lest I die.

    The second verse is a bit more esoteric. Taken as a whole, it is not so much a confession of defeat, although it makes use of defeatist language, but an admission that at the heart of Christianity is faith. Faith within religion is a complete trust regardless of the existence of material proof. “Let me not trust, instead Of Thee”, “O thou fair Silence, fall, and set me free.”. The fifth verse is a reference to Bible verses, and the last verse is a call to deliver them from their own mortal cleverness in defending their position.

    This is my own interpretation and could likely be completely wrong, so take from it what you will.
