I didn't pass any phy disks through, if that's what you mean. I'm using that system for more than OMV. I created disks for the VM like I would any other VM.
Thanks for all the info. I'll keep this in mind if I replace the drive. I am using refurb enterprise HDDs in my main server. Didn't think I'd need to go enterprise grade for this box but you make a lot of sense.
I'm starting to lean towards this being an I/O issue but I haven't figure out what or why yet. I don't often make changes to this environment since it's running my Opnsens router.
root@proxmox-02:~# zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
status: Some supported and requested features are not enabled on the pool.
The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done,
the pool may no longer be accessible by software that does not support
the features. See zpool-features(7) for details.

I'm trying to think of anything I may have changed since the last time I rebooted the opnsense VM. But I try to keep up on updates and end up rebooting pretty regularly. The only things on this system are the opnsense VM and a small pihole VM. At the time of the screenshot above, the opnsense VM was the only thing running.
If it's not a failing HDD, my next step is to try and dig into what's generating the I/O to see if there's something misbehaving.
It's an old Optiplex SFF with a single HDD. Again, my concern isn't that it's "slow". It's that performance has rather suddenly tanked and the only changes I've made are regular OS updates.
While you’re waiting for that, I’d also look at the smart data and write the output to a file, then check it again later to see if any of the numbers have changed, especially reallocated sectors, pending sectors, corrected and uncorrected errors, stuff like that.
Yes. That's why it's called the Internet of things. Every "smart", wifi connected, device you have uses that connection to communicate with a remote server. The app on your phone does the same to control the light.
@[email protected] personally I prefer CheckMk over Zabbix. I found Zabbix to be an absolute pig. Both are on the complex side. But really, you probably just need something like Uptime Kuma.
I've got PBS setup to keep 7 daily backups and 4 weekly backups. I used to have it retaining multiple monthly backups but realized I never need those and since I sync my backups volume to B2 it was costing me $$.
What I need to do is shop around for a storage VM in the cloud that I could install PBS on. Then I could have more granular control over what's synced instead the current all-or-nothing approach. I just don't think I'm going to find something that comes in at B2 pricing and reliability.
Proxmox is using ZFS. Opnsense is using UFS. Regarding the record size I assume you're referring to the same thing this comment is?
I'll look into this.
