    System Lockup - How to Diagnose?

    Hi there. I'm running PVE 7.3-3 on a single node which hosts a bunch of LXC containers. The machine has 128GB of RAM. This morning, I discovered that the system was non-responsive. Web UIs for various containerized apps didn't respond; couldn't SSH in; and also couldn't login at a console - it...

    Can't login and loss of zpool after abnormal system shutdown and server being off for 2 weeks

    Hi there. About two weeks ago, a host bus adapter on my single node PVE server died. That seemed to throw things into chaos and my system become unresponsive - I could login or do anything even at a local console connected directly to the server. I ended up having to power down and up again, at...

    Port Spanning, Mirroring or Monitoring Within Proxmox for NIDS

    I'm attempting to set up network intrusion detection on my LAN. I plan to do this in two steps. First, setting up a SPAN port on the physical switch will will be connected to a NIC in my single-host Proxmox server, which will then be passed through to the VM in Proxmox running Ossim. That SPAN...

    Can't start container restored from backup - unable to detect OS distribution

    My single node Proxmox recently got very messed up. Gave up on it, killed it and reinstalled Proxmox from scratch (a couple of days ago - v. 5.4). I then restored containers from backups. However, one container (originally CT 100 and restoring to CT 100) does not start. That container had been...

    Messed up ZFS pool

    Well, looks like my system is well and truly messed up, so I'm really hoping someone here can offer some suggestions. When my system was running OK, I had two ZFS drive pools set up. The first was called rpool and was created by Proxmox when I initially installed it. It consisted of a mirror of...

    Can't add new drive - shows as "partitions" under Usage

    Hi there. Was hoping someone can help with what I thought would be a fairly simple operation: I was planning on adding some additional storage to my single node PVE system, so bought a couple of SSDs and plugged them in. I was planning on adding both as a new mirrored ZFS pool. However, when I...

    Dumb question about threads in containers

    I've set up a few containers on my single-node Proxmox install, each intended to run a specific application. On a couple of them, I had initially provisioned 1 core, but noticed that usage would spike to 100%. As a result, I added some additional cores to those containers. However, I noticed...

    Writing to Bind Mount Inside of an Unprivileged Container?

    Having a bit of trouble attempting to enable users of a group within a container to write to a bind mount. I'm on Proxmox 5.1 and created a standard Ubuntu 17.10 container from the available template. I tried using the PVE page on unprivileged containers as a guide in attempting to enable write...

    Storage Options for VMs, CTs and Client Computers

    I will first apologize for what are likely some dumb questions about storage for virtual machines and containers in Proxmox. I'm very much a newbie to Proxmox and somewhat a newbie when it comes to virtualization generally. That being said, I have spent quite a bit of time reading through the...
