I have done this twice with a WD green and purple(both died, green was not suited for 24/7 anyways and purple was 2nd hand and I got cheap). Now I've got an SSD, where it initializes /dev/pve/data to make use of a big chunk of the SSD's capacity, so I what I usually do is make use of it via...

I've done this a lot of times, but moving it to "another hardware" is very easy provided that this "new hardware" is an added node. Let's say "old hardware" is node1 and "new hardware is node2. Add node2 to node1's cluster and moving it will take a few minutes in my experience. Or 1. You can...

So my purple western digital 2TB hard drive decided to die last week good thing I was able to still recover the data because I converted the thin volume(1.7TB of it) as an ext4 partition where I can store all my files, and the root fs took only less than 100GB where the boot partition resides ...

This solved my problem! Sorry for the necro post.

SUCCESS! Thanks to the post below: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/problem-connecting-containers-to-openvpn-after-reboot.48666/ Thank you! Consider this resolved.

Tried that just now and it still deletes the net directory I created inside the guest's /dev directory upon reboot. :/ Is there some way to make the guest make use of the tun file inside the host's /dev/net? Or somehow mount it some other way? Edit: I tried to add a few lines in...

I have an unprivileged container that runs Centos 7 and I want it to run as an openvpn client to a pfsense firewall. But I can't seem to get it running as the guest container does not have "dev/net/tun". So I looked online and saw people create the file directly inside the container but...

device manager*

i did, but it doesn't show in task manager :/

Is there a way to connect my Cliptec bluetooth speaker to my Windows 7 32-bit KVM? I installed the Gigaware bluetooth drivers and it seems to have connected to it, however the speaker icon on the taskbar still shows red and that there are no audio devices available. I tried playing a youtube...

It will serve files mostly on a separate 1TB HGST HDD(all of our movies) which is already formatted to EXT4, its a second drive I had before my 2TB WD Green died out where my PVE was originally installed. I had my lvm-thin partition formatted to EXT4 so I can use the space to put in my...

This is just a home setup :) I will be spinning up at least 5-6 containers and 1 KVM. The containers will be 2 file servers, a dns server, a status monitor using SNMP, an experimental PBX and a few. I am just worried that due to it being more of a write-designed performance drive rather than...

I can get a 4TB Skyhawk Surveillance grade HDD cheaper than its Ironwolf sibling, will this have a negative impact on my virtual environment? Seeing that their main difference is Skyhawk is designed for like, depending on who you ask, 75% write and 25% read or 90% write and 10% read while...

Well I'll be.......that did it! Thanks goseph. What's weird though is that this did not use to happen. :/

experienced this on all 5 of our j1900 appliances, this did not happen before when I was working around it since June. I tried downgrading from 5.2 to 5.0 to see if this was version specific, still the same thing.
