long story short: Don't do it.

Crashplan creates too many read/write cycles for the samba/greyhole combo to be comfortable with.

Save your crashplan backups to a static volume... eg: lvm, zfs, ext4, raid, etc.

I tell you this from experience (re: broken storage pool)

First, mount shares locally on the HDA https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Mount_Shares_Locally then setup ownCloud and make it use the mounted shares as you see fit, but DO NOT point ownCloud at the /var/hda/files (or other direct shares directory) It interferes with how samba functions, esp if you ru...

While on this topic, I'll toss in that I installed Crashplan from it's downloaded installer via CLI only and found out about how you can use forwarding thru an SSH session to have a local Crashplan client connect to a headless machine running Crashplan and operate it that way. The instructions are i...

Although the official guides may not say it directly, it i...

external USB disc drive FTW!

otherwise, clever work with ISOs on to USBs will do the trick, and knowing how to point fstab at the mounted USB also makes it work.

The only issue is that USB sticks have much more limited I/O cycles

maybe explain your setup more simply, and then explain your end-goal. Then we might be able to chime in on your issue with thoughput

If you need to understand Proxmox first (which makes sense) then readup in their forums and also try out proxmox within a VirtualBox VM on your own desktop PC beforehand and you can mess around with it. Proxmox is a hypervisor OS, so in terms of layers.... it's as follows if you want to go with bare...
