    Windows 11 VM won't boot, no disks, drvload works, but after restart disks gone again

    Hi all, I have a Windows 11 VM, it crashed on the weekend and was going to automatic windows recovery on every reboot. I restored a backup from Friday, but it still goes to the windows recovery options (none of which fix anything of course). I entered cmd and used diskpart and realized that...

    [SOLVED] Garbage Collection taking weeks to complete

    Thanks again for your help with this Dunuin. This made a huge difference. I did what we discussed above and the garbage collection speed has significantly improved. What was going to take weeks is now able to finish in a day!

    [SOLVED] Garbage Collection taking weeks to complete

    Once again, thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately the datastore is 95% full. If I connect an external HDD and create a new datastore in the GUI, is it then possible to move the backup data to the new datastore and then back to get the metadata to use the special SSDs? I see the...

    [SOLVED] Garbage Collection taking weeks to complete

    Fantastic help! thanks Dunuin! I added 2 SSDs and it was really easy to add them to my existing pool, I ran the command: zpool add sync-datastore special mirror ata-KINGSTON_SUV400S37120G_82B9J921JH86GG ata-KINGSTON_SUV400S37120G_HK78BH3GKDKFHK and it was done. And then running: zpool list...

    [SOLVED] Garbage Collection taking weeks to complete

    Thanks Dunuin for the reply. Yes, I am using 3 x 4 TB (WD RED) HDDs. There is no way I would invest another $2000 into the offsite backup server since it is just an offsite backup of the onsite backup server. I wish the remote sync and remove vanished option would work without having to run a...

    [SOLVED] Garbage Collection taking weeks to complete

    I have a proxmox backup server off site that does a remote sync of an important datastore. I realized that the "remove vanished" option is not deleting stuff to mirror the remote important datastore so I scheduled the garbage collection but it ran through about 30% and has slowed to a crawl now...

    port 8007 and port forwarding

    yes, adding a firewall rule to only forward port 8007 for my static IP should be the way to go. Unfortunately my firewall doesn't have that option so I have to replace the firewall. I was just wondering if I was way off base by suggesting the GUI and the Remote Sync use different ports...

    port 8007 and port forwarding

    I'll admit, I don't understand ports and everything.... But am I crazy? Is forwarding port 8007 to the backup server to make the remote sync option work the best way to do this? I love the backup server and I love the remote sync thing, but to make it work I have to forward port 8007 to my...

    How to create hourly backup for a proxmox vm on PBS?

    Just tried out the proxmox backup server, loving it within 2 days, I'm very impressed with the speed after the initial backup and I love the remote sync option so that I can now start to have offsite backups too. I found my way to this forum while trying to set up backups every hour of maybe...

    KVM guests freeze (hung tasks) during backup/restore/migrate

    OK, I absolutely solved my problem and I know why it suddenly started working as I described in my previous post. So, in MY case the setting that I had to turn on was in the configuration of the P410i smart array. When I boot up my HP Proliant DL360 G7, I tap F5 and once the P410i smart array...

    KVM guests freeze (hung tasks) during backup/restore/migrate

    I upgraded and it did not fix the problem. consistently, when I have a running VM and I start a restore of another VM, it gets to about the same progress in the restore point and then the running VM will start to have read/write errors and freeze and lock up and crash. consistently.

    KVM guests freeze (hung tasks) during backup/restore/migrate

    Is anyone from proxmox working on this problem? I installed proxmox 6.2-4 on an HP Proliant DL360 G7 server 2 weeks ago with 4 new SSDs (I had to make each SSD a Raid0 so that I could install proxmox with ZFS so that I will be able to use the replication feature on a second node once I make a...

    ZFS Disk replacement

    Did you ever get the grub-install /dev/sdb to work? or anyone else? I just went through these steps on 2 separate machines. On the 1st machine each step worked perfectly. On the 2nd machine, at the "grub-install /dev/sdb" step I get "grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory." and I don't...
