    [SOLVED] Reformat Linux Filesystem Disk

    I have a 4TB hard drive plugged inside of my PVE host. The hard drive has data on it so I do need to reformat it clean first. End goal is to create a volume that I can pass through to a Windows VM on this PVE host to store media. Looking for documentation has been difficult because there are so...

    Restore VMs from backup on new install

    Due to an LVM issue that was blowing my mind on how to fix, I reinstalled PVE 6.3.2 on my home server. Prior to this, I kept VM backups to a separate drive. How do I properly mount this disk again and restore the VMs? Edit: I think I found my solution...

    VM Ram Usage

    Trying to understand why this Windows VM says it is consuming nearly 9GB of RAM on my Proxmox host when the guest OS is only using around 3GB. What am I actually being shown here? https://imgur.com/a/1Bsx4Mg

    SSH into VMs through OpenVPN tunnel

    I am trying to connect from my iPhone via Termius to my Linux VMs and via Microsoft RDP to my Windows VMs. My home network DHCP server is a Netgear R6700 router. I connect to it via OpenVPN on my iPhone while using public WiFi or 4G data. I know I am 100% on the network as I can actually open up...

    QMrestore confusion

    Oh wow..I missed that argument! Before I attempt this, does it matter if the VM I am overwriting is in a suspended state or still running?

    QMrestore confusion

    Just looking for a bit of knowledge confirmation. I've been using vzdump to take nightly snapshot backups of my VMs. My only question here is that it seems like you cannot restore a snapshot backup to an already existing VM ID. You have to use qmrestore and give a new VM ID to be created. From...

    Why did my vzdump fail to a broken pipe?

    Thanks for the suggestion! Another question. For snapshot backups through Proxmox, which compression method do you recommend? LZO or GZIP? GZIP seems to compress a tad bit more than LZO.

    Why did my vzdump fail to a broken pipe?

    Honestly, that’s okay. The disk has a bunch of media on it but I have that all copied to an external that is passed through to the VM. How can I tell vzdump to ignore that 4TB disk and just backup the boot disk?

    VM Network not working

    You did not define your gateway (192.168.1.1) for interface vmbr1. I may be wrong, but this would be what I would try first. You have... auto vmbr1 iface vmbr1 inet static address 192.168.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0 bridge-ports eno2 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 ...when it...
