      Last night, I put 32GiB on the Dom0.

      For information, since I restarted, it's consuming approximately 17 GiB.

      I'll see if the increased load expected this weekend and the next won't cause it to crash.

          Unfortunately, I'm really pessimistic about my technological choice.

          Maybe I should never have installed ZFS on it, or perhaps I should have never enabled deduplication ?

          I didn't have time to post this before, but Wednesday morning, after some major backups, I lost all my VMs for 3-5 minutes (lost, but no crash) due to overactivity on tapdisk.

          Luckily I found them again after.

          So I haven't lost anything except my sleep.

          Here's an example of one of my 14 logs (14 VMs) (I've anonymized the UUIDs).

          2025-09-24 08_45_26-Backup — Mozilla Firefox.png

          Finally, when I say massive backups, my hypervisor is at 50% of its occupancy rate.

          And this weekend, I'm thinking of skipping all the scheduled backup tasks to be on the safe side.

          I don't know what to think anymore

            Probably worth trying regular local ext SRs (in mdadm if needed) and see how it behave. KISS principle is very strong in general.

              Unfortunatly this is also my conclusion.

              This is what I used to do with smaller servers.
              This is the first time with such a "huge server" + hardware RAID + ZFS with dedup.

              Thanks
              Have a nice day

                It will be a lot better with future SMAPIv3 drivers (it might include ZFS if we want to officially support it)

                  Do you think the problem could be due to ZFS deduplication ?

                  I just saw that it's possible to disable deduplication "without restarting" .
                  I think my problem is due to excessive disk writes (adding then deleting a snapshot, then coalescing?)
                  Without deduplication, less disk usage ?

                  Or am I wrong ?

                    In general, at least the consensus, is to NOT use deduplication with ZFS. It's probably one cause of the issue, yes. It's not worth the RAM needed.

                      Yes, I should probably create a new post ?

                      • starting by testing with deduplication turned off.

                              thanks a lot

                              I'll wait until next week to disable deduplication (never on Friday 😉 )
