    You are running Debian "buster", which is six years old and out of support for a year. Debian generally moves old releases to an archive repository. You will need to update your sources.list files to point to "archive.debian.org". See here...

    BobhWasatch replied to the thread Proxmox 9 and Chrony.
    Apt will ask if you want to keep the current configuration or replace it with the package maintainer version. It will offer a couple of other options including showing the differences.

    To operate a cluster you need to have "Quorum" = more than 50% of the votes. That has been mentioned here a zillion times. (And this is not restricted to HA.) Build a separate thingy to give that third vote! -->...

    I don't make the rules.

    If a machine can't reach other cluster members it restricts changes so that when it gets back into the cluster there aren't conflicts. That's just how it works, as discussed a million times in this forum. Set up a q-device as recommended in the...

    Personally, I just minimize how much I customize PVE and back up /etc. I recently replaced my Intel server with a much newer AMD one and this approach had me back up pretty quickly. No worries about requiring different firmware packages or...

    Maybe check the manual. It is linked at the top of the PVE web page. https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html#qm_import_virtual_machines

    Mainly it is another thing to troubleshoot when things don't work. Stuff like "I changed the DNS but the new IP isn't being used" type of things two years later when you've forgot about the cache. Honestly, this whole discussion is kind of dumb.

    Upated to PVE 9.x this week. I just wanted to let the Proxmox staff know that I appreciate them fixing the mobile web interface so it works on Firefox/Android.

    The fact that it works with IOMMU disabled kind of says otherwise. Plus the fact that the kernel is binding vfio to the device says it thinks the device is being passed thru. What does "lspci -vmm" say?
  • B
    The new disk is likely in the same IOMMU group as something you are passing through.

    BobhWasatch reacted to bbgeek17's post in the thread VirtIO-SCSI but for NVME with Like Like.
    To answer your initial question directly: in current versions of QEMU/Proxmox, emulating an NVMe device is unlikely to deliver a dramatic performance improvement. The reason lies in understanding what "virtio" actually is. Virtio is a...

    BobhWasatch replied to the thread VirtIO-SCSI but for NVME.
    To be clear, the studies @bbgeek17 refers to are about using nvme-over-tcp vs iscsi on the host. It doesn't speak to whether nvme emulation in qemu would perform better or worse than virtio-scsi.

    BobhWasatch replied to the thread VirtIO-SCSI but for NVME.
    A lot of this kind of stuff is in qemu because people want to use it to do system emulation during SW development. It doesn't mean that it is performant or that it makes sense in a production environment.

    The virtio-scsi device does not emulate any real device. That's why you need a special driver for it. What benefits could you possibly obtain by making it more complex?
