This is how my existing SATA SSD and HDD looks lsblk Is it possible to start from fresh (wipe out existing SATA SSD & HDD) and use SATA SSD as both PBS and as a Special device for cache? However since I already have installed PBS on existing SATA SSD and have my datastore on the HDD. I'm all for using SSD as special device cache (for PBS performance) and single HDD (don’t need redundancy now). On PBS2 web GUI this does not happen when I browse Western Digital HDD data store contents.Ĭlick to expand.Yes I posted the link and didn’t understand how to use, I'm a beginner and have some intermediate skills in Linux. Furthermore when I go to PBS1 web GUI and browse the Seagate HDD datastore contents it errors out sometimes and at other times it works but it’s slow. Furthermore I switched the network ports between PBS1 and PBS2 and same problem (backup errors) happens with PBS1(Seagate HDD as datastore) while PBS2 (Western Digital HDD as datastore) has no problems at all.Īt onetime I thought Seagate HDD goes to sleep in PBS, so I tried this Linux HDD Sleep turn off with command: hdparm -s 0 /dev/sdXĪnother thing I wanted to mention on the same network switch I have a Synology NAS NFS Share, and PVE is able to backup to this NFS network share with no problem.Īlso I tried that same Seagate EXOS HDD on another computer (installed PBS) and same problem happens. I added a second 'PBS2' with that Western Digital drive I mentioned prior on the same network switch and PVE to PBS2 backs up with no problems at all. Has anyone experienced issues similar to mine?Ĭlick to expand.That did come to my mind is to test my network switch. Seagate support said they are unfamiliar with Linux and PBS, recommend I ask ProxMox for help. At this point Seagate support said it's an issue with either PBS or the debian OS unable to write backups to this Seagate EXOS drive. In Windows 11 I ran a backup 3TB of data to the Seagate EXOS drive without any problems with their Seagate Disc Wizard software. Furthermore they said use my Seagate EXOS hard drive on a Windows 10/11 PC and run backups with Seagate Disc Wizard and see if there are any errors. I contacted Seagate support and they had me run all Seatools HDD test which all short and long test came out successful. I have a second PBS with a old SATA 500GB Western Digital HDD (same EXT4 file system) and all my PVE VM's backup with no problems at all. PBS sometimes has errors when backing up all my PVE VM's to this PBS datastore. When I format the Hard Drive I select EXT4 file system and add as datastore. I am having an issue with a brand new Seagate Exos Enterprise 6TB 7200RPM single SATA Hard Drive on Prox Mox Backup.
