Oh, what an idiot I am, I unmounted the shares as many have suggested, and found 14GB of YouTube videos hiding in one of the /mnt directories. I've deleted them and now the boot drive is down to 9GB. Now I'm going to have to double-check all nodes because there are a few nodes with the...

Having read up on the provided link, I understand the reason for unmounting and checking, except that the same is occurring on 7 nodes, all of which have different cifs mounts. Even the node with nothing at all running is using 17GB (13Gb after autoclean). Before autoclean root@pve-2:~# du...

Thanks Impact, that command seems to be working the same as ncdu -x, except it also shows the mounted stores. The total usage is as I said 13GB of 26Gb indicted in the Proxmox GUI. The problem is that the usage seems to have grown after the many updates over the last month. root@pve-2:~# df...

Hi all, Can anyone explain why the boot disk of my nodes (8 node cluster) are utilising +80% of the 32GB disk capacity I've allocated for the boot disk on the nodes in my cluster.? I don't store any VM's / CT's / templates etc on the boot partition, they are stored on the LVM partition. I have...

If you are only keeping a single backup then there is nothing to duplicate. Try keeping the last 3 days of backup, then you should see the dedupe working, but then you need to set your GC & prune correctly or your'll fill the Backup store. Dedupe works by default with multiple copies of the...

The greatest mistake one can make is to try and forklift VMware into a Proxmox environment. You will forever be chasing your tail trying to get Proxmox to 'work' the same as VMWare. Start the process with a clean Proxmox install and then look to the tools available to achieve what you require.

The Proxmox node is a fully updated cluster member, guests are mostly CTs and with a single Ubuntu 25.10 desktop, accessed via RDP. It's the only 25.10 desktop I have in the cluster, but another Ubuntu server 24.04 LTS doesn't seem to be effected (only 1 updated so far). After the upgrade, the...

This is problematic - 7.0.0-3 is now a recommended update, and yet it breaks the networking on Ubuntu 25.10 VM. 24.04 LTS is not effected. I haven't done extensive testing, but the Network Manager is failing to start on boot (will start up manually). 6.17.13-4-pve - is now pinned.

Don't make the share user as root, those permissions are not required for basic read/write to a shared folder. It's best to create a specific user for that share and then provide access to all apps using the same user. Otherwise, I'm glad to hear that you got it working. Now that you understand...

If you install Jellyfin using the Community Scripts from https://community-scripts.org/scripts/jellyfin the menu system walks you through the process of mapping the correct graphics card. And if you install https://github.com/MacRimi/ProxMenux on the host, that also provides a menu-driven...

The bad sectors are marked in the controller of the old drive, the new will not mark them as bad and the sectors which ave already been relocated should be fine. The question is, will the drive last long enough to complete the cloning process? If you can't clone or don't trust the data, then...

I would perform an offline image clone of the 860 EVO to the MX500 and then make that the boot drive.

The previous versions online guides are outdated for Alderlake iGPU, if you ask AI you must be extremely specific with the information you provide. I have not had any success making that guide work, however I didn't put much effort into it because I have other graphics cards available.

Just to add one I've not seen here. I use AdGuard Home, as it provides network wide ad & call home blocking, reverse DNS for your local services, can have multiple sync'ed servers on you LAN, runs in lightweight LXC and can point to any upstream DNS (Quad9 by default).

Congratulation on getting that far. I've tried to install Bliss in a VM multiple time in the past and never got it to function.
