    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    I downloaded from source and then installed 'build-essential' and the system crashed... I was on a console and it dropped me into the GUI after hanging. I think it installed successfully the second time running it. Can it be used to verify packages on another system, though? Remember, I'm in a...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Isn't it as simple as "apt update && apt install debsums"? Doesn't work for me.

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    I was able to mount rpool at /mnt/rpool and inspect the contents. I found two scripts that I did not add, with modification date of around the time I lost access to the system. Logs were missing for after this date. The two scripts were...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    I don't know what you mean by the p.s. I am trying to investigate why my Proxmox install was apparently compromised. I expect to see directories and files, not empty folders. How is it OK that they are inaccessible? At this point, I'm about to give up and just reinstall Proxmox and try to...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Ok, I ran zpool import and then zfs status, which showed my 3 ZFS pools. Excellent. I then run zpool import rpool and it is automounted at /rpool. If I cd to /rpool, there is /rpool/PVE and /rpool/DATA, which are empty. I was told I needed to mount the pool in a non-root directory, but...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Please don't chalk this up as weird and unfixable! I know it is bizarre. But my hardware is not inherently janky! The system is a Supermicro X10SRL-F w/ Xeon E5-2618L v3. I had Proxmox running ZFS on root, 3 zpools: rpool (ZFS mirror of 2x16GB SataDOM's) ezstor (ZFS mirror of 8TB SATA) tank01...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Here's an update. I tried to boot with another USB drive in the same physical port of the machine. The original USB of Ubuntu Live contained a persistence volume. The second USB drive was created with Rufus (as was the first) with the same Ubuntu ISO and settings as the other (GPT, UEFI)...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    I do have physical access. Strange behavior I can't help but mention: 1. The monitor goes partially "technicolor" during boot (ie in BIOS). It is not a faulty cable, nor monitor. Once Ubuntu Live loaded, everything was normal, and it was during distinct phases of the bootup process where this...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Now, the system will not boot into Ubuntu Live. I don't know what's going on with it, I haven't changed anything. It hangs indefinitely (ie. at least 6 hours) on the Ubuntu splash screen. I saw a very brief message (only captured as I was videotaping the bootup) "usbhid 3-11.4:1.2: couldn't find...

    How to mount ZFS Install on Ubuntu Live to access Proxmox install files?

    Hi, I am troubleshooting a strange issue where I have lost root access to Proxmox. The WebUI would load, but my root login was rejected. SSH also doesn't work, an nmap scan now shows "TCPWrapped" as the service instead of SSH. I also could not login with root at the console with a keyboard...

    Strange Networking Issues

    Ok, I've made some inroads here... My root storage for the proxmox host is a pair of 16GB SataDOM's in a ZFS mirror. These 2 memory dumps were 8GB each. I don't understand how they were stored in the root directory, but I've observed the same phenomenon with pfSense having some 108% of...

    Strange Networking Issues

    Hi, I was having some strange behavior with a CentOS guest. I used Proxmox 'monitor' pane in GUI to issue a memorydump for that guest. I forget the error message, but it was given twice, as well as any other monitor command that I attempted always ended with timeout. Today, I am trying to...

    Wildly different TCP vs UDP iperf3 results between guests on same hypervisor

    Can anyone offer advice? What other info do you need see to help me understand what is going on ? The hardware is, for host, 1x E5-2630v3, 48GB memory, but I am not complaining about TCP speeds.
