    nftables : when output policy drop is set on a VM there's no way to accept ARP output

    Hi, It looks like when output policy drop is set on a VM the ARP protocol in the out direction are filtered and there's no way I could find to enable it in the proxmox firewall settings. In the IN direction there's a ether type arp accept in chain guest-408-in but there's no equivalent in...

    Hi, Using PBS 3.1.2 with Dell TL-4000 library with 3 drives, when the next available tape in the media pool for a job is already loaded in a drive but not the drive set for the job it seems that PBS doesn't unload by itself but rather asks for the user to do it. Here the job is set up for...

    File restore on ZFS, no .zfs/snapshot visible?

    Hi, When I backup a VM disk formatted in ZFS in PVE 7.3 to a PBS 2.3 datastore, I can use "file restore" to see files on the various ZFS dataset. But I couldn't find a ".zfs/snapshot/" on the file restore interface, is it possible to browse the dataset snapshots in some way in PVE/PBS ...

    Copying (duplicating) a VM disk (ceph/rbd)

    Hi, To help upgrade a VM with a large disk (on ceph/rbd storage) we'd like to copy the VM disk and mount the copy on a new VM. I didn't see an obvious way to do it in the proxmox VE UI, did I miss something? I'm thinking of doing like described here...

    Permission read-only access to backups (PBS)?

    Hi, I want to give read only access to backups (mainly for "file restore") to one of our users so I added Datastore.Audit on the PBS storage for this user but it was not enough: empty backup list for the user. I had to add Datastore.AllocateSpace which is a write permission (allows the user to...

    Hi, During our weekly verify one week ago on a PBS datastore "datastore2" on PBS 1.1.13-2 machine "backup2" we got 351 errors "blob too small (0 bytes)". The verify job renamed the zero sized blob to ".0.bad": # extract from LOGFILE=/var/log/proxmox-backup/tasks/...

    Removing a PBS directory?

    Hi, On a test PBS 2.0.4 server on a dedicated disk (sdb, unused otherwise) I first created a directory "datastorage1" on sdb via administration/storage/directory/create directory, unchecking "Add as datastore" (since I did not want to create one immediately). Then I changed my mind and wanted...

    Hi, I have a 6 disks RAIDZ2 pool, all 6 disks are currently on internal SATA. To workaround an issue on two of the SATA ports (1) I'd like to move (until a receive a new SATA PCIe controler card) two disks to an external USB3 enclosure. ZFS when on SATA has "ata-xxx-serialnumber" in front on...

    Tuning ZFS 4+2 RAIDZ2 parameters to avoid size multiplication

    Hi, On a machine with 6x4 TB hdd I installed PVE 6.4 (up to date) choosing RAIDZ2 (ashift left to default 12), and this should leave 4x4=16 TB or 14.1 TiB usable. # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 1 days 00:35:33 with 0 errors on Mon Sep 13 00:59:36 2021...

    Upgrade of pve-qemu-kvm and running VM

    Hi, I'm about to dist-upgrade PVE and pve-qemu-kvm will go from 5.2.0-2 (with the qmp timeout / VM freeze issue starting to hit us) to 5.2.0-6 (current stable). Once the dist-upgrade is done is there a way to "migrate" a running VM from the host it's running to the same host so that I runs...

    Migrating a real machine with NVME disk to PVE VM

    Hi, Today I had to migrate a physical machine running Fedora Core 32 with NVME root disk and UEFI boot to a virtual machine (OVMF) under PVE 6.3. Unsurprisingly Fedora boot failed if I just copied (offline using an adapter) the whole /dev/nvme0n1 original block device to a ZFS volume and used...

    mtime use for large images to save a reread on backup?

    While checking the logs of my PBS I noticed the longest PVE VM backup job was of a stopped VM (been in stopped state for a few weeks / daily PBS backups) which has a relatively large disk raw image (200G) on a relatively slow directory (NFS mounted by /etc/fstab not by PVE). Is there a way to...
