    [SOLVED] udisksd using lots of CPU

    Why has that bug been marked as "Resolved invalid"? By your own admission it's a bug -- even if it's a problem caused by an upstream package. Seems the bug has been fixed upstream, but there's no new release of udisks2 yet. Does/can Debian/Proxmox include the patch that fixes it...

    Proxmox VE 7.4 released!

    The 6.2 kernel feels faster to me... but I'm not running anything fancy like you are.

    Proxmox VE 7.4 released!

    What's the recommended way to install the newer 6.2 kernel? Just sudo apt install pve-kernel-6.2?

    USB passthrough? Alternative title: RANT: Ubuntu desktop networking @#$%&!

    I've been running Proxmox as my workstation OS at the office for years. Since the pandemic I've been working from home where I've always been using (X)Ubuntu. Recently reinstalled and went up to 22.04 Now I wanted to spin up some VMs and wanted to get bridged networking for that. What a pain in...

    Running keepalived in lxc container

    We've been running this just fine with Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 inside the (unprivileged) containers. We did find we needed to add use_vmac to the instances inside the keepalived.conf to prevent both nodes in the keepalive pair from obtaining the virtual IP. Currently still on Proxmox 6.4 on the...

    [SOLVED] Error add txt for domain failed: exit code 1

    I just encountered a similar problem with dns_loopia.sh from acme.sh/dnsapi which was updated in the last 6 months or so after an API change at Loopia. What do we have to do to get Proxmox to do a refresh from upstream?

    Mini PC for Proxmox?

    Does it need to be a pre-built mini PC? Otherwise look at an ITX motherboard with SFFPC case. IMHO the biggest limitation of these mini PCs (both pre-built and custom ITX-based builds) is only 2 RAM slots, and usually only a single M.2 slot. One ITX board that I know has two M.2 slots is the...

    How to tune2fs a mount point in an LXC container?

    Yes, my question was if this is possible without shutting down the container?

    How to tune2fs a mount point in an LXC container?

    I have some containers with large disks (mount points). I'd like to reduce the number of reserved blocks on these. How can I do this? According to mount inside the container, the filesystem is ext4: colin@www1:/dev$ mount | grep images /dev/mapper/pve-vm--120--disk--2 on /disks/images type ext4...

    Move disk stored on LVM from virtual machine to container?

    Hmm, I'd be very surprised if that was true. Both are listed as block devices in my LVM thin pool when I run lsblk. And you can also see them as block devices mounted as filesystems inside the container, eg when you run mount or df -h.

    Move disk stored on LVM from virtual machine to container?

    Hi, Upgrading some of our virtual machines, I'm moving to containers where possible. One of our machines has a large 4TB disk stored on LVM storage (we use hardware RAID underneath so we don't use ZFS). I'd like to detach this disk from the virtual machine and attach it to the new container. is...

    Ubuntu template configuration?

    I'm going to hijack my own thread: Why does the DAB include its own Postfix main.cf rather than installing the default one included with the postfix package? This supplied main.cf has a bug: Running some Python code to connect to the SMTP server on localhost, port 25 would connect over IPv6. But...

    ignore duplicate vmid xxx in pool

    I managed to get this on a node that had been part of a cluster but was removed according to these instructions. Adding and removing a user solved it.

    Proxmox VE 6 - Removing cluster configuration

    I have one machine with several virtual machines and containers. I added a new machine to this in a cluster config. Now I want to remove the second machine again. The second machine has no VMs or containers. Does the above apply? Will my first machine survive?
