    GRID is long eol. the functionality was bifurcated and separated into multiple licensed products. see https://docs.nvidia.com/vgpu/index.html

    The only thing I can think of is vcpu configuration. on a modern windows guest you really want to set it to x86_64_V3 or better. Avoid host without tuning, and QEMU/earlier X86_64 variants can have missing cpu features.

    alexskysilk reacted to Johannes S's post in the thread LXC and Docker compatibility now with Like Like.
    No and propably never will be since they use the same features of the kernel ( namespaces, cgroups etc) and host system ( apparmor etc ) so any update might introduce a breaking change. This is more likely with major upgrades ( like PVE8 to...

    I have 580.173 working fine. I dont use the apt packages as nvidia doesnt seem to care about Trixie support, but the NVIDIA*.run installer works without a hitch.

    Latency in the 80-100 range is normal. Just means the drives are busy. are they currently rebalancing?

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Bcachefs storage plugin for Proxmox VE.
    oh for the love of god. this trope doesnt seem to ever die. OpenZFS is based on CDDL, which Oracle can't revoke: Sun Microsystems released ZFS under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) in 2005. The CDDL explicitly includes a...

    How? even if I was to accept the premise (which isnt even true) it still doesnt explain how one option is "superior" to the other (which, after all, is what comparison means.) There is a conflict in licensing that prevents the inclusion of zfs...

    alexskysilk reacted to bbgeek17's post in the thread Security questions and contradictions with Like Like.
    Hi @jan24, welcome to the forum. Today, a PVE cluster relies extensively on cross-node SSH communication via root account. While it primarily uses key-based authentication, password authentication is required in some situations, particularly...

    That is true. ReiserFS is a cautionary tale. That isnt. bcachefs is dkms loaded, and you can use it pretty much on any Linux system. you dont actually need to use a plugin for pve either, it functions normally as a filestore.

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Bcachefs storage plugin for Proxmox VE.
    This. The linux kernel community isnt an exclusive arbiter of what makes "Good" software, and as dkms exists that isnt a reason TO and NOT TO use anything. The reason to avoid bcachefs has nothing to do with internal Linux Kernel politics, its...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Boot on FC SAN for installation.
    I would suggest using a dedicated "deployer" instance, which would: 1. serve ipxe. its ok if you dont have one existing- the deployer can perform this function. 2. provision a boot disk image from template. the multipathing software and base...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Opinion on planned proxmox cluster with CEPH.
    the other major factor for homelab deployment is that the equipment is physically likely to share space with people. this is where noise, heat, and physical form factor come into play. If it were me, with your given use case, I'd use a different...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Opinion on planned proxmox cluster with CEPH.
    media servers are bandwidth dependent, not iops. but that's probably not relevent to the conversation. you would achieve adequate performance with the hardware you specified regardless of storage choice. I would just say that the benefits of ceph...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Opinion on planned proxmox cluster with CEPH.
    you are putting the cart before the horse. Why are you speccing hardware before defining what your expectations are? in the simplest terms, what are your IOPS requirements as a minimum to a single guest, and total iops in aggregate.

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Feature request - zfs delegation with lxc.
    Thats why. it isnt possible to expose JUST the resources allocated to the container. Which means the container has the capability to read other datasets (the security hole) and damage/destroy them (the practical risk.) The whole point of the...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Ceph in 2026 HDD.
    X86 hasnt been static. performance/watt is similar in MOST current arm and x86 examples with the overt exception of Apple hardware that knocks everyone out of the park- but for @J-Rod use case it doesnt matter because he keeps his offline when...

    alexskysilk replied to the thread Ceph in 2026 HDD.
    You guys are arguing from two fundamentally different perspectives. Can you continue to use fully depreciated servers? sure. it also has the benefit of (relatively) fixed opex. When you're a "homelab" or small business, the overall expense of...

    you may not want to look at a killawatt then. a 1L box will provide roughly equivalent performance at 1/5th the power draw- and thats not even brand new. 15 year old server = 150W+ at idle.

    alexskysilk replied to the thread stupid question - I accidentally deleted my /var directory. How bad is that?.
    good question- I dont know. you COULD just edit the vmid.conf directly (eg, /etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf) and add the disk directly- find the line that starts with unused0: and change it to efidisk0: might need other variables for...
