    bbgeek17 reacted to t.lamprecht's post in the thread Kernel 6.14 - End of Support with Like Like.
    The deprecation itself was not strongly influenced by that, but the decision to communicate it more actively was in fact primarily driven by it. Normally, we only mentioned it on the side once a new kernel became the default. In the past, we...

    Obligatory reminder regarding Ceph: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/ Please note, that Udos Writeup is a little extreme since he assumes, that you want to survive the outage of two nodes...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Kernel 6.14 - End of Support.
    Out of curiosity, is this decision primarily driven by the recent wave of Kernel security vulnerability disclosures, or has there been a particular subsystem or area in the 6.14/6.17 series that has proven especially difficult to stabilize...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Stockage Type.
    Hi @CIRE, welcome to the forum. The best _supported_ option is LVM. There are multiple articles that go over the details of the configuration. We wrote one that is iSCSI oriented, however beyond actual physical connectivity the steps to bring up...

    This is not the default query you would ask just in the forums. To answer this properly, best to contact a proxmox partner for a tailored setup. Information is just not enough to answer properly. Your money bounds would also be very important...

    Hi Nadee, This is a pretty common design pattern we see for production Proxmox clusters at scale for folks coming from VMware. The good news is that what you're describing is absolutely achievable. That said, before anyone can give you truly...

    @d.oishi , You are correct: regardless of the layer at which thin provisioning is implemented, careful monitoring must be in place. Unexpectedly running out of space is rarely handled gracefully by operating systems or applications. Cheers...

    Using thin pool inside your storage device is completely independent of client connectivity. You will be completely fine using that option. Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    bbgeek17 reacted to BloodyIron's post in the thread Slow forums? with Like Like.
    I can't find a better place to put this, but why are the forums so painfully slow? I don't know when this started, but traversing the forum, searching for stuff, posting a thread or comment, all of it is painfully slow. What's up with that?

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread NVMe/U.2/U.3/etc hot-swap?.
    The hot-swappability of NVMe disks is not directly controlled by PVE itself. It is primarily a function of the underlying hardware (CPU, motherboard, chassis, BIOS/firmware) and software (kernel), as well as the ability of userland components...

    bbgeek17 reacted to tuxis's post in the thread Dutch Proxmox Day 2026 with Like Like.
    Hi guys! As some of you might know we are organizing the Dutch Proxmox Day again. Last year we decided to reach beyond our borders and have all presentations in English. Which was a great success since almost half of the audience consisted of...

    PVE uses native Linux means of connecting NFS, i.e. Ubuntu-based Kernel and Debian-based userland. These are used in millions of nodes world-wide. There are many possibilities here, for example,a bad NIC/Cable that is affected by solar flares, a...

    Can you manually mount the NFS share on the problematic nodes when the issue is present? Are you sure there is duplicate IP on the network at that time? Have you compared all package versions, including Kernel, across the nodes? Without logs and...

    Exciting! We will put this into our CI/CD. Thank you! Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox

    If it were me, I would use it to confirm that the hardware is broadly compatible (for example SCSI controllers, graphics adapters, and similar devices). It could also help identify which kernel modules are being loaded and potentially highlight...

    That user never came back to report on their progress or lack thereof. My recommendation to try a new OS install still stands. Using recovery boot is another option that previous reported was not quiet comfortable with. Proxmox team does not...

    Hi @mosespray , the Ansible modules are not maintained by PVE staff. I'd recommend reaching out to Ansible team/maintainer - perhaps via github issue. I believe these modules are using API to communicate to PVE. You could try to troubleshoot...
