Re: Why does proxmox automatically change hardware ethernet after it's been installed Lots of answers here: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=udev+ethernet+name It is udev that controls the names of devices.

This might help you... Specifically:

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice Cool. I was hoping for Nemesiz to respond :) So Erk, if you don't use OpenVZ, then you could use FreeBSD with native ZFS and use VirtualBox with the VirtualBox Web package (phpvirtualbox) that is in ports. I have never used phpvirtualbox so not sure...

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice Great! I think I will go ahead with this. I may go with the idea of creating a block device in my zpool for VMs and the rest ZFS for file storage. I will do some performance testing before hand. So OpenVZ works too, but without quotas?

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice How is this going for everyone? I am VERY interested in this as my proxmox server doubles at the houses file server. I am interested/concerned about performance, but testing so far is not scaring me off (test box) You could always create a block...

Thanks a lot for this Tom. No luck so far (not trying to boot off a raw block devices, just access one) But I will keep plugging away at it tomorrow. I will update this thread with my results. Thanks.

Hi all I was putting in the config file for a KVM guest the line below (proxmox 1.9) scsi3: /dev/sdi,media=disk It worked well, giving the guest access to the whole disk. But in Proxmox 2.1 this does not seem to be working. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Ahhh a little more searching. http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&goto=35124& So it seems by use of bind mounts has confused vzdump. root@proxmox:~# mount | grep bind /mnt/storage/vz on /var/lib/vz type none (rw,bind) ..truncated... So I might need to mount /dev/storage/one onto...

Hi all, I have used LVM over the years and I understand to make a snapshot LV you need spare, unused space on the VG. Also, with vzdump you must put the backup to a separate partition. But can that partition reside in the VG? It seems no. Error 101: Jan 14 16:01:32 INFO: Starting Backup of...

I ran some testing last night and found this: 1. If you have an NFS share mounted by the container, vzdump fails saying an external process [lockd] is blocking the suspend. 2. If you have a bind mount of any sort, the data in that mount is not backed up by vzdump [YAY!]. I then also found...

Hmmm ok maybe no one knows. I think I might set up a test VE, one for NFS mount and one for a bind mount, see what happens....

[SOLVED] vzdump and network shares Hi, I was wondering the impact of networks shares on vzdump. 1. If a VE has a n NFS share mouted, does a vzdump try and backup the network shares data too? 2. If you bind mount into a VE using the HN, does vzdump try and backup all the data in that...
