Hey all, I was going through the CPUs and came across the MAX type. what exactly is it? I can't seem to find much information on it. However, it does work for an OS that others weren't.

I have a bridge setup with 1 10g interface, attached to a single VM. I see about 3% packet loss (smoke ping) that I can only seem to attribute to the bridge itself. running ip -c -details -statistics addr show vmbr4 it shows 72910270 dropped packages from 2272569168 total. Which falls perfectly...

I am trying to set up IPv6 on a few VMs I set up a VM with an interface on vmbr1 with no vlan tag and no firewall. I try to ping the link local address of the vmbr1, it times out. I also tried to ping something else on that vlan - same thing - timeout if I set the vlan tag to something other...

no not as far as I can tell. It is a fresh debian instance. there does not seem to be any network manager. I tried running cloud-init clean -r that still did not seem to do anything. Edit: After digging deeper into how cloudinit works, I found the file...

What I ended up doing is setting up the primary affinity to 1 for all the SSDs, and 0 for all the HDDs, than doing a pool with a simple host replication rule, a pool size of 3 with a min of 2. That doesnt 100% guarantee that a secondary is written to an HDD, but it does make sure the primary is...

Alright I am switching from a 2 node ZFS "cluster" to a proper 3 node ceph cluster. I am trying to figure out the best use of the hardware I have. I have 3 Identical servers, each has 1 500gb NVME, 3 2TB SSDs, and 5 2TB HDDs. I have seen where you can have the primary drive be an SSD with a...

All, I'm sure there is a fairly simple solution to this, but I set a vm up with cloudinit to have a dhcp address initially, then changed it to static after the fact. The static address is given to the VM, but it also pulls a dhcp address. how would one force it to only pull the static...

I am trying to shrink the size of a drive that I accidentally used the defaults for. I tried following this guide, but always end up back at the same size i started with. It is in a cluster, and using cloud-init, however i cant see that mattering? Any help is much appreciated.

I found something interesting on a hunch: when trying to ssh from the problem machine to the other, the ssh key was changed for the remote host. no idea how that would have changed, so i have some investigating to do. that would explain the broken pipe message.

So I fixed the drive problem, and deleted the vm images on the second machine. everything seems to run through once, than i get the error what am i missing? Ive run iperf tests and am right at my 10gb speed with minimal errors, but to eliminate this as a potential problem I switched the...

is there a way to adjust the wait time or manually "kick it in the head"

Interestingly I was in the middle of doing that already, I was seeing some errors on one drive and decided to reinitialize it through the IPMI and reboot. When the machine came back up I found that The problem drive had completely dropped offline and was no longer detectable even by the IPMI /...

Oh like zfs is overloaded... Gotcha. The timeout is on 2 particular VMs, the rest are the 255 error. Which is something different? All the VMs are able to both read and write to the disk without problem..

Theyre utilizing like 10% cpu and maybe 50% ram..I can't see them being overloaded..

I recently started getting replication failures. I have 2 servers and a monitor node set up in a sort of poor man's HA, the VMs replicate back and forth every 15 minutes. From host02 to host01 they work fine, however from host01 to host02 most of the VMs get: command 'set -o pipefail && pvesm...
