Has it been cold started? I.e. powered off and powered on?

Fair point. Reflink with sparse raw files gets you thin provisioning and snapshots without qcow2... so qcow2 metadata is out of the picture.
What's left is the stuff underneath. o2cb has its own heartbeat and fencing that doesn't know corosync...
That's isolcpus doing exactly what it says. It disables the scheduler's load balancing on those cores, and PVE's affinity: option only sets a mask on the whole qemu process. So all 16 vcpu threads end up on the same one or two cores and nothing...
@TheBigOne short answer: you didn't miss anything. There is no VMFS for Linux and GFS2/OCFS2 aren't it.
VMFS did one job and VMware controlled everything around it. GFS2 and OCFS2 are mid-2000s designs for small database clusters on spinning...
Hi @huganega,
Thanks for the extra tracing. Some of it is useful, but I think the text you've put together is pointing you the wrong way.
The solid parts:
- The same stall shows up in two independent places: your I/O completions freeze for...
Hi @huganega,
You can find an update from our expert below.
If you were a Blockbridge customer, we would also be able to engage directly with Proxmox as a Solutions Partner, with a direct line to their team. It is quite possible that resolving...
The most likely culprit is that the NAS response is somehow delayed. Local ZFS should be pretty fast. You could try to temporary disable the NAS storage to see if that returns the GUI response time to normal:
pvesm set <storage> --disable...
Manuel already noted this is outside what PVE supports. I'd go a step further: I can't recommend doing either of these in production.
It's worth being clear about what WSFC actually needs from that disk. It isn't so much the block device as...
Hi @huganega,
FWIW, what you're describing looks familiar. We ran into something very similar a while back, and it turned out to be an awkward corner of the iSCSI protocol where neither side is obviously wrong, yet they still stall each other...
It's been a year since Op's last post and presence, but based on the incident description (Dell/EMC backing ESXi) - it was likely iSCSI with VMFS.

Here’s another problem we hit bringing PVE arm64 up on the GX10. The first was the black screen after initrd (thread here). Posting this one since the symptom is a show stopper.
Hardware
ASUS Ascent GX10
NVIDIA GB10, 20 cores, 3.9 GHz

I would always recommend to stay within the bumpers of the system. Especially when an easy to use procedure is available.
IMHO this is such a rare situation that complicating UI with handling this case is counterproductive. That said - feel free...
This may be useful information for some:

If you install Proxmox VE 9.2 arm64 on an ASUS GX10 or a DGX Spark, the first boot will show a black screen, and you will think it hung. It did not. Here is why, and the fix.
For context, we bought some GX10 systems (NVIDIA GB10, same board as...
Support can be more than one thing. It is having someone pickup the phone, ensuring that the solutions you sell are tested and stable, and much more.
The support can quickly become a diminishing value if a customer calls asking for assistance...
You can do the following:

qm disk rescan --vmid 113
qm disk move 113 unused0 --target-vmid [id]

Whether it works and whether it is supported are two different things. Supported means it is being tested.
Considering that PBS uses bitmap to track changes between backups of the running VM, and that this is an interface provided by QEMU, it is...
I think it's safe to say there is no official support for 3rd party products. The qualification matrix would be very complex, these are competing products, why would any vendor undertake this endeavor?
