    pfSense - Fast on bare metal, slow on PVE

    I had a pfSense VM for a couple of years on a 1Gbe fibre connection, it handled the throughput no problem using the vtnet drivers. Are the in use NIC Intel? If they are Realtek you would likely need the Realtek drivers as the default Proxmox drivers are slow. I have since moved my firewall to...

    [SOLVED] Encryption keys recovery - possible?

    Ah, too complex an install to blow the PBS B away and rebuild. As I stated, in the PVE B DataCentre -> Storage -> Your_Backup_Store - > Encryption tab, the encryption should be active and the same as that on PVE A. Actually the system you have setup is similar to my install, only on a larger...

    [SOLVED] Encryption keys recovery - possible?

    Are you trying to do a backup or a restore of an existing backup there? What were the steps taken which led you to this point? Did you re-install the Proxmox host? Are you talking about a backup to PBS or a regular backup to the Datacentre storage.? Check the Datacentre -> Storage -> Backup...

    [SOLVED] Encryption keys recovery - possible?

    Did you reboot after copying the key? I don't know enough to understand which services need to be restarted. That error is telling you that the encryption was created with a different key. The only way to restore is to have the PBS backup and the PVE keys match.

    [SOLVED] Truenas VM Only 1Gbe instead of 10Gbe

    The iperf test is showing you the problem, here is what I get with iperf3 over 10Gbe root@pve-5:~# iperf3 -c 192.168.10.28 Connecting to host 192.168.10.28, port 5201 [ 5] local 192.168.10.50 port 39354 connected to 192.168.10.28 port 5201 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate...

    GPU passthrough with a GMKTec K8 - Locks up host

    Hi GioTr, It might well depend on your APU, but if you already have the passthrough functioning correctly, then this page should help with the AMD reset bug: https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-gpu-passthrough-proxmox/issues/131#issue-3266798285 Note: As stated previously, a Proxmox hook-script...

    TrueNAS Storage Plugin

    Well, you'll be pleased to know that the TrueNAS team are currently revamping the API system so that developers will be able to gain far more control over the internals.

    TrueNAS Storage Plugin

    Thanks for the heads-up I wouldn't even attempt such an install on 1Gbe networking, I just assumed that 10Gbe would by a part of the minimum specs, for this use case.

    GPU passthrough with a GMKTec K8 - Locks up host

    If the original AMD reset fix doesn't work try another. I have an 8845HS working perfectly in a Win 11 guest, so I am able to reboot from the host or from within Windows without delay. There is a 'hook-script' which works on the host and 2 different functional fixes in the Windows guest.

    [SOLVED] Encryption keys recovery - possible?

    Is the original Proxmox host still operational? If yes: The encryption key file for Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) is stored in the file /etc/pve/priv/storage/.enc on the Proxmox host. I suggest that you keep this file in a password manager or somewhere else as it will be needed if you recreate...

    AMD GPU Passthrough Connection Timed Out

    When you passthrough the GPU you have blacklisted it from Proxmox, so Proxmox no longer has any access to GPU. You need to arrange some other method of remote accessing the VM desktop as soon as that passthrough / blacklist is activated. In my case I'm a Windows user so I arrange RDP access to...

    GPU passthrough with a GMKTec K8 - Locks up host

    Unsure which AMD APU you have (mine is the 8845HS), but the https://github.com/isc30/ryzen-7000-series-proxmox guide carefully (don't miss any steps) the passthrough will work. There are 2 additions steps, also detailed on the same github page, where once you do get the passthrough operational...

    That looks like an extremely interesting project, I'm looking forward to testing on my homelab.

    TrueNAS on Proxmox

    You will have difficulty with thunderbolt in Proxmox as it's not natively supported. I've read about some getting it to work, but is it really the solution which you want to trust your data on.???

    Not render128 card after Proxmox passthrough

    Why are you using such and old version of Proxmox with a fairly new CPU? First option must be to get the Proxmox up to date, I suggest bring it up to ver 8.4 (as 9.0 is having other issues with passthrough). Then you have a load of unnecessary options in the grub command line. Find a passthrough...
