    [TUTORIAL] Broadcom NICs down after PVE 8.2 (Kernel 6.8)

    I can confirm that setting "Support RDMA" to disabled for both Ethernet controllers on a H13SSL-NT mainboard solves the issue. No need to blacklist also.

    ZFS import during boot takes a very long time and results in kernel panic.

    Hi all, We have a system (proxmox ve 6.4, ZFS 2.0.7) which ran for about a year and a half without any problems but now has problems getting a ZFS pool mounted/imported. During boot it takes a very long time at Importing ZFS pools using cache file. And eventually the system kernel panics. I...

    Proxmox won't start with networking

    I found out it was because i had ntpdate & ntp installed both (see release notes about this). Didn´t read the manual well enough.

    Proxmox won't start with networking

    Did you find the cause of this yet? I have the same problem with one of our servers going from proxmox 7 to proxmox 8. Still can't find what is causing the hang.

    Best practices for storage replication (for a specific use case)

    Hi all, I would like to check with the community about my findings for storage replication for a specific use case. In short: I have a CCTV VM which stores incoming CCTV video recordings. For simplicity it's a Windows VM with a 100GB OS disk (on a ZFS RAID1 with 2x 240GB SSD's) and a 10TB data...

    [SOLVED] EACCES: Permission Denied when backing up to PBS.

    Some more digging revealed that the proxmox-backup-daily-update.service creates the /var/log/proxmox-backup/tasks directory with root:root ownership if the directory doesn't exist. maybe this has already been fixed in newer PBS versions but here's how to reproduce in pbs 1.1.13-2: 1. Stop all...

    [SOLVED] EACCES: Permission Denied when backing up to PBS.

    After some digging i found out that the culprit was that the /var/log/proxmox-backup/tasks directory was owned by root:root in stead of backup:backup. Whenever you delete /var/log/proxmox-backup directory it is automatically created upon service restart. The api directory is correctly set to...

    [SOLVED] EACCES: Permission Denied when backing up to PBS.

    Hi All, I seem to have botched my installation of pbs and cannot seem to find the reason why. whenever i backup a vm it results in: INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 100 --node stellar01 --remove 0 --mode snapshot --storage pbs INFO: Starting Backup of VM 100 (qemu) INFO: Backup started...

    Would a four/five node ZFS storage replication with HA cluster work?

    Hi All, I've setup many ZFS two node clusters in the past (technically 3 node using a small HA node) and CEPH clusters in the past but i'm thinking about the following idea: 4 main nodes and a small HA node 1. Create a cluster using all five nodes. 2. Setup ZFS storage replication between...

    Replication

    Would it be possible to combine both ZFS Storage Replication and pve-zsync for a single VM? For instance, we have a 'main' site with a 3-node ZFS cluster (2 full nodes and a small node for HA) using Storage Replication so we have High Availability for the VM Next i would like to have some...

    Proxmox VE 6.0 beta released!

    Thanks for the hints! It turned out i had /etc/systemd/system/systemd-udevd.service.d/override.conf configured only containing: [Service] ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 15 Removing this file before the upgrade fixed the problem. I didn't expect this small change could potentially lead to a broken...

    Proxmox VE 6.0 beta released!

    I seem to be running into some major problems during upgrade. The udev and/or systemd crash upon restarting udev after upgrade: When the upgrade proces comes to udev: ----- Setting up udev (241-5) ... Configuration file '/etc/init.d/udev' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since...

    What's about ceph luminous 12.2.7?

    +1 for this I am using EC pools with 12.2.5 so i'm fearing the worst but hopefully my workload didn't trigger any corruption.

    Ceph: Erasure coded pools planned?

    Well it's actually the other way around: To use erasure coded pools for RBD you need to create an RBD image on a replicated pool and specify a seperate data pool (which is erasure coded). This ensures all metadata to be written on the replicated pool and the actual data is written to the...

    Possible to detect guest hangs in HA using Qemu Agent?

    Hi, In a 3 node CEPH/Proxmox 4 HA Cluster, I recently had a Windows 7 Guest VM hang (BSOD). As expected HA never kicked in because in proxmox' point of view the VM is up and running. I thought maybe the QEMU Guest Agent would help checking for hung VM's but when I checked the wiki page it only...
