StarWind VSAN with Proxmox: Best Practices for Snapshot Management
Posted: Thu Dec 25, 2025 2:14 pm
Hi everyone,
I’m setting up StarWind Virtual SAN on a Proxmox VE environment and plan to heavily use snapshots for testing VMs. I want to understand the best practices to manage snapshots with StarWind VSAN. Specifically:
- Are there any known limitations or performance impacts when using frequent snapshots on a StarWind VSAN volume in Proxmox?
- What is the recommended approach for cleaning up old snapshots to avoid storage bloat?
- Any tips to monitor snapshot-related performance issues effectively?
I haven’t seen detailed guidance on this on the forum, so I’d love to hear your experiences.
Thanks!
