    Cant start Guest on Promox 3.1 unable to parse worker upid '...'

    Made the required changes to /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Tools.pm and also to /usr/share/pve-manager/ext4/pvemanagerlib.orig.js and then, /etc/init.d/pvedaemon start ...but still receiving the error. Really want to avoid rebooting the system, and just need backups to run again. Running vzdump...

    sfcbd process consuming 30GB RAM

    Update: Turns out that sfcbd is installed with Dell Open Manage. I admit to installing that :) Process disabled without issue.

    sfcbd process consuming 30GB RAM

    Thanks for your reply. I'm certain I did not install sfcbd. sfcbd seems to be some daemon for embedded systems... If not part of proxmox I guess it's safe to disable it?

    sfcbd process consuming 30GB RAM

    We have two Proxmox v3.1-21 systems with 200 days uptime where /usr/sbin/sfcbd is now consuming 30GB RAM on both nodes. Is it safe to restart (or kill) this process? What does it do?

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    Thanks all for your replies. We bypassed NFS and created a raw disk for the asterisk guest on top of LVM. It appears to have solved the issue. I/O wait is now averaging below 5%.

    Dynamic memory allocation not working

    A number of CentOS 6.4 guests are set to dynamically allocate memory between 768MB-2GB. However, on the guest free displays a total memory of 613MB. This remains the case even when the guest runs out of memory, to the point where apache is throwing out of-memory-errors. Shouldn't free on the...

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the poor guest I/O performance?

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    I'll have to wait with that until off-peak hours, but I don't think the underlying storage is the bottleneck. The image shows host block I/O over time. The long bursts in throughput, beginning at midnight and 3pm, are due to backup jobs. The small ripples during daytime are due to activity by...

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    There was only one CPU core assigned to the guest OS. I added another core yesterday and that dropped the load average below 1. So that helped a lot... However, the guest OS I/O wait % remains high, frequently above 20%.

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    NFS server. There's another guest that runs Asterisk and an NFS client. The Asterisk guest writes about 2Mbit/s worth of recordings to the NFS server through its NFS mount.

    disk I/O wait on guest at 30% while I/O wait on host below 3%

    Hello Proxmoxers, We're seeing very high load averages in a CentOS 6.6 guest which is caused by I/O wait anywhere from 15-70%. The Proxmox 3.1-21 host I/O wait is typically well below 3%, occasionally spiking to 5%. The guest virtual disk (500GB) is configured with virtio, qcow2 and cache set...

    Proxmox 3 on AMD E450: pfSense 2.1, NAS4Free, PiaF, Debian

    I see... the issue is isolated to pfSense though. kvm64 vCPU works fine for Linux VMs.

    Proxmox 3 on AMD E450: pfSense 2.1, NAS4Free, PiaF, Debian

    I had the same problem. changing vCPU to qemu64 is the fix!

    VNC console: essential keys not working (using a Mac)

    Hi all, In the VNC console, the delete and control keys are not being passed. This is making it impossible to do certain tasks such as using an editor. My workstations are all Macs and I'm pretty sure the problem is due to recent Java updates for OS X. This used to work, but broke a while...
