    Most likely there is an issue (network or configuration) with RPC requests. The exports are probed via "showmount" and "rpcinfo". Try these commands manually, if they fail - the PVE probes will be unsuccessful and you will not be able to manage...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Noob with weird network issue.
    To be on the same page, none of this is PVE specific. You are dealing with basic Linux network management. At one point in the thread you mentioned that there is a "direct" connectivity between the clients, is there an actual direct cable? Your...

    bbgeek17 replied to the thread Noob with weird network issue.
    You have two interfaces sitting on the same subnet, its very likely that this is what is tripping you up. I would recommend avoiding this configuration when possible. If you are curious, you should examine routes and ARP tables during the...

    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...
