Use Case | Current Disk | Suggested Role |
---|---|---|
Proxmox Root FS | nvme0n1 | ✅ Keep for now (fast, wear low) |
VM/LXC storage | sdc1 (SSD) | ✅ Good, isolate high I/O loads |
Backup / ISOs | sdb1 (HDD) | ✅ Archive/slow storage |
Spare/Buffer | sda1 (SSD) | ⚠️ Could mirror root or use as L2ARC/ZIL (if ZFS) |
2. Watch NVMe Write Wear Over Time
Your NVMe shows:
yamlCopyEditPercentage Used: 0%
That’s excellent — you’re still early in the wear cycle. But with Proxmox, check every few months using:
bashCopyEditsmartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 | grep -i percentage
3. Add Log Management
To reduce wear:
- Use
tmpfs
for/var/log
(if RAM allows) - Limit
journald
persistence:
# /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Storage=volatile
SystemMaxUse=200M
4. Consider Backup OS Snapshots or Mirroring Root
Use sda1
to:
- Mirror
pve-root
using LVM RAID1 - Or just use it as a backup location via rsync or
lvm-snapshots
