Ok. Never mind. It is the first choice since the array is the only installed device.

Hi @all, maybe this is an easy question. Today I started to upgrade my PVE 3 Server using the Update menue. During the update I am asked where grub should be installed. The choices are: "dev/sda... Array 10", "/dev/sda1 ... /boot" and "/dev/md-0 ... pveroot". Which one is the right choice here...

duhh.... OK I figured it out. I had to create a Storage for images since I only had Storage for backups... Once Storage for images was created I could select that storage in the Move disk Screen. best regards

Hello, this is maybe a stupid question but the Wiki says: I do use NFS Storage but when I hit Move Disk (I try to move a Disk from local to NFS Storage) I can only select local. Maybe I do not understand the move part ? Or does it only work for Cluster ? My pveversion: pve-manager: 3.0-23...

Are you sure about this ? In Version 3 when you do a backup in Snapshot mode and the VM is stopped the VM is put into a pre-start mode. That is the VM starts but does not boot. I think it also allocates the memory...

ok symmcom. I am out of ideas. I am not an expert on this subject. Here some things I would try/check: - remove the storage and create a new storage (just in pve. Not deleting the backup) - check network parameters including hosts, jumbo frames (if set), dns server entry... - check cpu load...

I just took a look at some documentation. Did you see this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Performance_Tweaks I am not sure if there is an updated version somewhere. Just to see if it was not a one time event can you repeat your backup 2 or 3 times and compare results. I use cache=none for RAW...

I don't think the port matters. Do you have compression and/or dedup on on your ZFS machine ? Your pool maybe above 85% full ? Maybe you can test with a regular directory (smb) on your ZFS as a backup location. See if you still get the bad performance...

I am on a Gigabit network too. I use a HP MicroServer N40L with 4 WD Red 2 TB in one RaidZ vdev. I use a second NIC in my HP as a dedicated "Backup Line". This is how mount looks like for NFS: 192.168.178.8:/RaidZ/bigone/manu on /mnt/pve/NFS-Manu type nfs...

I was looking at one of my customer side. They are using nfs in combination with OmniOS+Napp-It: storage.cfg looks like this: nfs: NFS-Manu path /mnt/pve/NFS-Manu server 192.168.178.8 export /RaidZ/bigone/manu options vers=3 content backup nodes...

maybe this can help ? before upgrading to v3 I was using "pigz" for compression. During the upgrade pigz was replaced by gzip again. Now I switched to lzo for compression which is much better and faster. Even so I am using the raw format for my Windows VM's I use "sdelete" to zero out empty...

I don't think that just looking at the performance difference is enough to make a decision. You have to look at the "big picture" and the overall solution. Meaning you need also to consider things like: - followup costs (Backup solution etc.) - management of the system (browser based or client...

ok. I just removed the file. Now HD Space Root is only 1.3 GB in size. Thank you all for your help !

wow - thanks Tom. did not see that thread - sorry. Based on the information in that thread I found out that the file /var/tmp/CGItemp37554 is arround 45GB !!! big. Now - what is this file and is it save to delete it ?

Thank you ejc317! That was the command I was looking for. But I am not sure if I understand the output correctly: It shows me the file bigger the 100 MB I understand. Here is the output: root@BigOne:~# find / -size +100M /var/lib/vz/images/1002/vm-1002-disk-1.raw...

This is a pve server I am using in my LAB. Its running for more then a year. Maybe it needs some clean-up ? here is the output of df: root@BigOne:~# df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev...

Hi @all, maybe its a simple question: I allocated 50GB space for root during the installation. The GUI is showing me: HD Space (root): Total 49.22 GB Used 46.57 GB I was wondering how I can find out whats using the space and how I can free up some space. best regards

hi rengiared, you put a lot off effort and time into this test!! Thx! Can you tell me how your test scenario is? Do you use the regular compression (gzip, lzo) or do you use pigz? I would like to run similar test with a Windows Storage Server 2008 I just setup and a Windows Home Server v1...

Hi all, sorry if I jump on this thread, but I too have this backup problem for the last 3-4 days. I only use NFS for backup of KVM machines. But they do have large disks. I use a Windows Home Server with MS SFU 3.5 as a NFS Server and Freenas 8.04p3. My VM's stop responding and can not be...

Hi dietmar, I use Windows Home Server v1 (Acer EasyStore H341) in combination with MS Services for Unix 3.5 (SFU 3.5) for all my proxmox server. So far it worked pretty well for almost 2 years. Not fast but cheap ;-). Anyway - because of the "drive extender" in WHS the query for available...
