    Developer Forum - Pull Requests?

    @tom @cheiss @fschauer @Chris sincere apologies for the ping everyone. I did not see a Developer forum to discuss code reviews and bug fixes. Here's a PR to review: https://github.com/proxmox/pve-installer/pull/13 If there's another place for this, please let me know and I'll remove this...

    Unable to get device for partition 1 on device /dev/mmcblk0

    Another "me too / this worked for me" in PVE 8. And now, we have a Pull Request to resolve this issue! https://github.com/proxmox/pve-installer/pull/13 TIP: if you have a small drive, like 16/32/64, use ZFS RAID0 to format the boot drive with. It takes advantage of ZFS' shared-diskspace...

    VM memory not ballooning?

    This is exactly my conclusion as the OOM only start after massive ZFS "work" (like, setting ACLs recursively over a few million files, changing properties on a few 100 datasets, etc). Only way I've gotten around this is to just give the VM all 64VM of ram. Have had zero issues ever since.

    VM memory not ballooning?

    I am running a TrueNAS VM (24.10) on the latest Proxmox 8.2 (and will upgrade to 8.3 soon). I am setting ballooning to start at 8G and end at 64GB. However, when I do something memory intensive (e.g. changing all posix ACLs across 100TB on a ZFS pool within the VM), this quickly runs into...

    Intel CAS/Open CAS Linux and Proxmox/ceph

    I agree @elurex . Installing kernel modules to build on dkms/kernel updates is quite easy. Given, it's out of scope for Proxmox and their support contracts, it's just Debian under the hood. So it comes down to rather you want Enterprise Support, or not really. There's now been some testing...

    [SOLVED] ZFS: Importing and Mounting Failed Mirror from another PVE

    Yeah, when I rebooted I got the common issue of "Network Time Synchronization" of systemd that endlessly stops and starts. This reddit post help point me into the direction that basically, well, root / got hosed and is not mounting properly (as per the dual zfs pools above mounted at root /)...

    [SOLVED] ZFS: Importing and Mounting Failed Mirror from another PVE

    I need to obtain a single file from a drive that was previously in an PVE (Proxmox 6.2). It was an ZFS Mirror of the OS drive (partitioned per Proxmox installer). Since both the existing ZFS-backed PVE I am on, and the old mirror'd drive, use the same rpool name, I had to use the ID of the...

    CEPH shared SSD for DB/WAL?

    As far as I have read, correct. However, you are free to install Debian, partition the drives how you like. As long as you can present the partitions as raw block devices to Proxmox, you'll be set. Personally, I dropped RAID1/ZRAID1 from my OS drives. I treat the servers now as cattle...

    CEPH shared SSD for DB/WAL?

    Jumping to share my $0.02 as I've been heavily researching this myself, a newbie as others here are... First, let's state for the record what exact SSD hardware you need for any and all journal (FileStore), block.db, block.wal, etc device, including just a straight SSD added as an OSD for...

    proxmox 7.0 sdn beta test

    I was hoping for this! As I currently have planned most of their network via Netbox already, including IP assignments to nics. Yeah, that was the current plan. Bandwidth/PPS-wise though, it would be nice to do NIDS/IPS via 10G links to monitor internet networks. Thank you!

    proxmox 7.0 sdn beta test

    I apologize for the newbie questions, as I am trying to wrap my head around Proxmox's SDN vs the rack I am setting up for a school. I would like to list out the basic hardware, and the planned isolation and L3 switches. There will be 5x hosts running Proxmox, all fairly equal hardware. Ceph...

    issues with apt-get update

    Ah that's right, I remember we have to disable that on new installs in order to get updates... Been a while since I installed Proxmox as I usually used Ansible. This past weekend I just used the old USB stick install manually. Would love to purchase licenses to support you guys! But it's just...

    issues with apt-get update

    Is the expected upgrade time less than 60 days? 6.4 was released in April 2021. 6.3-2 is now broken. So that would give us... 60 days to update to latest version, or otherwise it may break our system? Fresh install of 6.3-2 yesterday. Zero config changes. Just installed, and tried mounting...

    Ceph OSD encryption

    Sorry to me a necromancer... But I have some additional questions on exactly this topic. When securing a system, you evaluate the threat models first. So for the school I am setting this up at, physical access while a system is running is not of a concern. What is a concern is theft of the...

    Planning: One Big Server vs Three Small Servers w/HA

    Got a decision to make and looking for public advice. Mostly duck-typing this out. I have been volunteering at an elementary school to fix their network/server and now it's time to build their server(s) out. However, I can't decide between two setups. The driving force is minimal cost...
