Oh hindsight, cruel hindsight... I had three raid partitions on a server: data-1, os, data-2 I installed Proxmox 1.8 to the OS partition and everything seemed alright. The computer in question is a test server and its insides get rearranged from time to time. I was having trouble setting up...

Thanks for the reply. I had already split the backups apart, but I've disabled the lvm cache now as well. The other thread mentions running vgscan to refresh the cache; when I was unable to stop the DRBD resource I ran lvscan, vgscan and pvscan looking for trouble. I inadvertently refreshed the...

Our pair of servers went through this yesterday, glad to find the thread. I'll add my $0.02 and log data, maybe it can help. Two identical hosts, PVE1 and PVE2 pve1:~/status_scripts# pveversion -v pve-manager: 1.8-15 (pve-manager/1.8/5754) running kernel: 2.6.32-4-pve proxmox-ve-2.6.32: 1.8-32...

I've got a pair of R515s with H700 controllers and Broadcom 5709 NICs running Proxmox 1.8 without any trouble.

I had a test server with an Areca 1261 / ARC1280ML that worked well. (I don't remember which version it was - "lspci" and the silkscreen on the PCB didn't agree with each other, my notes are a little vague) That particular machine was running the stock PVE 1.7 / OpenVZ kernel, quite a bit older...

It sounds like you've already got the server up and running with partitions and guest machines. I don't know if your disks are set up as LVM partitions or how you were planning to store the DRBD Metadata. Try to think of DRBD like a normal RAID controller - it might be *possible* to take an...

I suppose that means you don't have much trouble with write-after-write/hash problems during the monthly verify. (I'm not sure how much traffic is necessary to cause a problem.) We're aiming for a similar setup here - two "single server" shares with a third as scratch/development space. I'm...

I've been working with Proxmox VE for about four months now, and I'm looking for some suggestions (or maybe reassurance) that what I'm doing is "right." The technical information of the post is mostly DRBD related, but the end result leads back to PVE. (I apologize if this sounds like a broken...
