Maybe I am reading it wrong, but the drives are mounted at /srv/camX and the disk pools are pointing to /mnt/camX

We all suggested just adding a drive. I get the impression that a drive cannot be added, but the existing drive has to be replaced. In that case an audit will clean up the missing events.
I do agree that running an audit should be done sparingly.

I am not sure why you are bothered. I ran an audit when I lost a file system. In this case the OP may plan on loosing a file system with the HDD change. There is not an underlying problem, just a plan to clean the DB. The OP is asking for the best way to change HDDs. dougmccrary, I think you may ...

Can you add a disk? If so just point new events at the new disk and wait five days or move the events. 5 days of events should not cause audit to run a long time. How many events is 5 days? In my case 7 days is ~20k events and I have lost all 60 days to a bad RAID controller. Audit cleaned it up in ...

I think the simple way is to mount the NAS and then add it as a storage location. Provided the NAS and network are fast enough it should work without a problem. Due to experience I have had with a bad disk, leave the default storage configured and pointed to somewhere local so if the NAS has a ...

Linux (the IP stack) will route traffic based on IP addressing and the routing table. This is something that normally you do not need to touch.
Are you asking because it is not working or are you planning?

Likely it is the detection threshold. I changed to pixels instead of percent to gain tighter control. My trick is to find a person sized object in the frame and draw a tight zone around it. The zone properties will tell me the pixel count. I delete the test zone and set the detection size to the ...

If the VM is stopped first check the Proxmox logs to see if there is a clue as to the reason of the shutdown. RAM and disks would be my first suspects. 2nd check the OS logs for the reason of the shutdown. Expected or unexpected? Ballooning memory enabled? You should not use ballooning memory with ...

To me it sounds like you have orphaned files somewhere. Scan the drive for files older than 3 months (the point you state video is being deleted) and see what shows up.
The other possibility, though unlikely, is you are using a very large block size and the missing space is slack in the blocks.

What is the keyframe interval? The key frame is a complete picture, the following frames are changes to the key frame. In a static image the key frame will be much larger than the following frames.
I have my key frame interval set to 1 sec.

Then it is down to basic troubleshooting. I would start with pinging a working and troublesome camera just before midnight until the problem occurs to see if the camera remains on-line. This will show if it is ZM or not. If the 2 test cameras use the same AP, this will show if it is the AP or the ...

That looks similar to when my cameras restart once a week. Are your cameras restarting?

What you did looks correct, but if ZM cannot use a storage pool it will try another one.
Perhaps there is a small typo in the path of the storage pool.

It is a Linux thing; unused RAM is wasted RAM. Linux is more or less caching all writes. If you gave it a TB of RAM it would eventually use most of it for cache.
If the host needs more RAM, you can experiment with reducing the RAM on the ZM VM. Mine is happy with 16GB.

Memory usage from Proxmox will only be a small part of the story, and not the useful part. If you look at the VM and run free it will give you better detail. You may find something similar to my system with 6 hi-res and 6 low-res cameras. free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem ...
