    OFED for PVE

    Yes, i absolutely understand that it`s not possible to backport everything. Result can only be a big mess. You are absolutely right, that indeed it should come from upstream / linux-stable. Hopefully these fixes will make it in the 4.4 - tree, as it`s quite odd to crash the whole node with...

    OFED for PVE

    Ok, DKMS would would be easier to update / re-compile, or am i wrong with this ? For me it`s impossible to get the idea how these patches relate to each other - i`m really not so deep into C and the whole kernel-development. I guess people at linux-rdma mailing list know what exactly fixed...

    OFED for PVE

    Forget this, i had a quick look at it. However, it looks like ib_srp from Mellanox OFED is much older than in-tree. This is what i get when i build with the Sources from Mellanox: modinfo ib_srp filename: /lib/modules/4.4.10-1-pve/updates/dkms/ib_srp.ko version: 1.6.0 license...

    OFED for PVE

    Hello Fabian, does this mean they will be built-in in the Kernel or via DKMS ? I recently ran into a bug in ib_srp regarding mappings that reliable caused a Kernel-Panic / Hang-Up. A simple fio or also cp of a big file was enough to trigger this, from hypervisor and also within VM`s that live...

    VM migrate fails while heavy I/O

    Hello, while testing i tried to do a live-migration of a VM while fio was running (read-test, 4k random, about 100k iops). Migration stops here: [......] Jun 08 15:45:24 starting online/live migration on localhost:60000 Jun 08 15:45:24 migrate_set_speed: 8589934592 Jun 08 15:45:24...

    [HOW-TO] Separate migration network - dirty fix

    Hi, sorry for bumping on this quite old post. I have 2x 1Gb on vmbr0 and 2x 10Gb on a failover-bond - this where i`d like to have migration-traffic. I had a quick look at QemuServer.pm in latest release. Obviously the Hack described by the op is still necessary to get migration-traffic on a...

    SCST / ib_srpt / isert-scst in releases ?

    Hello, is there any change to get SCST together with srpt and the required kernel-modules in the releases ? Current scst compiles fine against Kernel 4.4.6 and in-tree ofed / rdma packages. Having those packages / kernel modules in the release would skip the need to compile / build with each...

    Backup failed PVE 4.1

    Hello, i currently evaluate proxmox and do so some tests with different storage-options. I wonder what backup-options for VM's that have Disks with iothread/dataplane on a blockbased storage actually exists ? (i.e. LVM on iscsi / iser or any other storage that works on raw images only) Backups...
