After weeks of unsuccessful attempts to increase overall backup speed of my Proxmox VMs, i am now leaning towards some other solution. I have tried FreeNAS, OmniOS+Napp-it, Yottabyte, nothing increased the backup speed to match Gigabit network. I also changed hardware to all genuine intel without any success. Since Proxmox does backup at good speed locally, i have to draw conclusion that the problem may be with ZFS. I want to give other solution a try just to see if there is any change. I noticed that Proxmox supports RBD option from CEPH. My question is has anybody used it with great success who can give me some pointer? Is it more of headache than what is worth? I do like the clustered storage idea. Any other options out there for open source storage cluster?
Thanks!!
