Note that this is performed on the physical machine as I have currently no way in my knowledge to connect to it directly thru SSH or gui. The photo provided if from the console when plugging a screen to on-board hdmi. Is what I am doing not even possible on proxmox? I remembered being able to...

I am unsure indeed if I just forgot a step, I am so tired.... Here is what I meant, tried a simple qm start 103 but nothing happens.

My on-board NIC stopped randomly working and I am completely stuck. Upon booting, leds on the nic cable appear fine then disappear as soon as Proxmox has booted. Tested by booting on an old hard drive that had windows installed, internal nic works fine and cables too (I had internet connection...

Hi, I've been experiencing issues with my config lately. The problem seems to appear when I use the VM (Macosx) to run a game or a stress test (I used Unigine Heaven to replicate the issue experienced with games). The tests runs for a minute or so, then the server completely reboots. I am...

I found something that seemed to fix my issues. Note that I changed for an Intel pro/1000 NIC passed through directly to the VM in the meantime, and still was experiencing the same exact problems (actually worse, as it would now kill the network card and needed a reboot to regain any internet...

Indeed L2ARC seems counter-productive knowing that my data is on a 3 SSDs raidz1 pool, I dont see how the additional ssd would help, or I got this wrong? As for RAM, at this point even if my motherboard supports up to 128GB (4 sockets), i'm currently decked at 64GB, and I don't really see how I...

I tried something silly tonight, just to see if that would help: Setting the Rate limit to 80MB/s on the VM hardware network through the Proxmox GUI. Since it looked like a saturation of the network from the beginning before (but at the same time I had perfectly working hypervisor > Freenas...

Ran more tests. It seems when I set a very small TCP window size that the connection runs smooth. Where could the issue come from? I am really not a network expert, any help would be appreciated... ./iperf3 -c 192.168.1.122 -w 2000 Connecting to host 192.168.1.122, port 5201 [ 4] local...

Bump on this. I tried a LOT of things, including changing completely my Freenas hardware. I am still unable to find a solution. Realtek NICs, Intel NICs, nothing will do. The Proxmox server itself transfers to the NAS and communicates just fine with iperf tests, but the OSX vm does not. One...

If needed, I can get my hands on a spare 128GB SSD to use as cache it that would help with the whole thing in your opinion (Can I add L2ARC cache after the fact ?). I am quite happy of the performance of the whole setup so far despite that little issue, so I don't mind adding to it to make it...

On a side note, as long as I have roughly 2-3TB of disc space max on the system, giving zfs a max of 8GB should be plenty enough, correct? I don't have enough experience with ZFS to know what is acceptable or recommended, only info I found online about the 1GB memory = 1TB disc space rule...

Thanks for your help @LnxBil . Here is the out put root@serv0:~# arcstat time read miss miss% dmis dm% pmis pm% mmis mm% arcsz c 20:46:28 34 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26G 26G I will study the wiki you linked to and see if I can sort it out that...

Hi, sorry for my late reply, I couldn't replicate the issue until now. Seems fine when I restart the server, but after a day or 2 of usage without turning it off, the problem appears again. Here is the output of free -g root@serv0:~# free -g total used free...

Hi everyone, First of, I am well aware of the famous "Linux ate my RAM" page and I post here because my issue makes no sense. I am also aware of the usual RAM requirements of 1GB per TB or storage for ZFS, but again, seems a bit odd in my situation. I have 5 VMs on my server, of which only...

Maybe an important note, I tried running iperf3 from MacOSvm to NAS as UDP to test that as well, and that seems to work: MacOSvm >> NAS (via UDP) ./Downloads/iperf3 -c 192.168.1.45 -u -b 100m -t 10 -i 1 -f m Connecting to host 192.168.1.45, port 5201 [ 4] local 192.168.1.229 port 55382...
