Re: Why does proxmox automatically change hardware ethernet after it's been installed Lots of answers here: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=udev+ethernet+name It is udev that controls the names of devices.

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice Cool. I was hoping for Nemesiz to respond :) So Erk, if you don't use OpenVZ, then you could use FreeBSD with native ZFS and use VirtualBox with the VirtualBox Web package (phpvirtualbox) that is in ports. I have never used phpvirtualbox so not sure...

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice Great! I think I will go ahead with this. I may go with the idea of creating a block device in my zpool for VMs and the rest ZFS for file storage. I will do some performance testing before hand. So OpenVZ works too, but without quotas?

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice How is this going for everyone? I am VERY interested in this as my proxmox server doubles at the houses file server. I am interested/concerned about performance, but testing so far is not scaring me off (test box) You could always create a block...

Thanks a lot for this Tom. No luck so far (not trying to boot off a raw block devices, just access one) But I will keep plugging away at it tomorrow. I will update this thread with my results. Thanks.

Hi all I was putting in the config file for a KVM guest the line below (proxmox 1.9) scsi3: /dev/sdi,media=disk It worked well, giving the guest access to the whole disk. But in Proxmox 2.1 this does not seem to be working. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Ahhh a little more searching. http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=35124& So it seems by use of bind mounts has confused vzdump. root@proxmox:~# mount | grep bind /mnt/storage/vz on /var/lib/vz type none (rw,bind) ..truncated... So I might need to mount /dev/storage/one onto...

Hi all, I have used LVM over the years and I understand to make a snapshot LV you need spare, unused space on the VG. Also, with vzdump you must put the backup to a separate partition. But can that partition reside in the VG? It seems no. Error 101: Jan 14 16:01:32 INFO: Starting Backup of...

I ran some testing last night and found this: 1. If you have an NFS share mounted by the container, vzdump fails saying an external process [lockd] is blocking the suspend. 2. If you have a bind mount of any sort, the data in that mount is not backed up by vzdump [YAY!]. I then also found...

Hmmm ok maybe no one knows. I think I might set up a test VE, one for NFS mount and one for a bind mount, see what happens....

[SOLVED] vzdump and network shares Hi, I was wondering the impact of networks shares on vzdump. 1. If a VE has a n NFS share mouted, does a vzdump try and backup the network shares data too? 2. If you bind mount into a VE using the HN, does vzdump try and backup all the data in that...

I found out the hard way not to have /var/lib/vz as a symlink. The reason is proxmox loses its ability to report to you the disk usage of a container in the web gui. Vz from the command line could though, so maybe a missing trailing slash in the proxmox code. So I changed it to a bind...

http://wiki.openvz.org/NFS Oh ok. This must have changed since last time I looked at it. Maybe I was looking when proxmox was using an older vzctl. I see it is an adequate enough version for this to work.

Hi all, So with the limitation of NFS in OpenVZ containers, my thought was to do all the mounting and sharing of folders over NFS on the actually bare metal/proxmox server. These mounts could be mounted directly into the containers FS or bind mounted. Likewise, the exports file can export...

Thanks for the reply dietmar I was wondering about these errors too.

Wow that works awesome! Exactly what I was after Thanks.

Ahh it was the name that was wrong. I didn't use any symlinks, just renaming, but I had it as: arch-0.8-minimal-64bit.tar.gz This solved it. root@proxmox:/vz/template/cache# mv arch-0.8-minimal-64bit.tar.gz arch-0.8-minimal-64bit_0.8-1_i386.tar.gz Odd how you can't give it the correct arch...

Thanks mate. That did the trick. Yes I did write to the contains FS outside of simfs, converting a xen system on the network to a VZ container with rsync. vzquota drop 101 while it was stopped did the trick! Thank you.

Thanks apmuthu I did use your file, but same result :( This doesn't make any sense to me. root@proxmox:~# tail -15 /var/lib/pve-manager/apl-available Package: arch-0.8-minimal-64bit Version: 0.8-1 Type: openvz OS: arch-0.8 Section: system Maintainer: Precreated OpenVZ <precreated@openvz.org>...
