Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: weird problem after upgrade Prox7>8 / Boot newer kernel - "alert! /dev/mapper/pve-root does not exist" - not bootable.Ok, thanks for added detail. This is 'weird' because - this setup is very (very) vanilla - stock proxmox ISO installer was used originally for deployment. It has been through a few in-place upgrades over a ~few years but nothing problematic with...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: weird problem after upgrade Prox7>8 / Boot newer kernel - "alert! /dev/mapper/pve-root does not exist" - not bootable.HI, thanks for suggestion. I had not tried the InstallerISO>Rescue option. In theory I can try that as an Edu piece. Might be good to see what it tells me. I am not super keen to do a reinstall 'just to see how it goes'. But it is indeed an...

Ffortechitsolutions posted the thread Q: weird problem after upgrade Prox7>8 / Boot newer kernel - "alert! /dev/mapper/pve-root does not exist" - not bootable in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi, small fun question I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on. I've got a ~decent box at a client office - it is not latest hardware - was deployed as a 'refurb' lenovo tower server box, dual socket xeon, 96gb ram, megaraid hardware raid It was...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, thank you for this added info. I agree, it is not fast. (ie, ~>24 hours to do a full restore). I believe it is acceptable for the recovery time for this client. Drama for backup - I don't have enough free space local cache to do tempdir -...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.arrgh, sorry chris. I am re-reading thread now and I see I had missed your one point. a few posts back. You are suggesting the job on Jan.26 ran successfully and fast, without metadata mode. And it took ~2 hours approx. And then I am trying to...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi Chris, thank you. So just to check and to clarify. 1) Right now my deployment model, is to setup a new PBS host any time I setup new related proxmox/cluster requirement. This gives me clean separation of resources (ie, disk, bandwidth...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Apologies to those reading this / for my use of sloppy syntax in this thread, ie, I'm calling things here in this thread a "VM" when that means precisely a KVM VM and that is definitely not remotely what I am trying to talk about here. I am...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi Chris, I am still confused, for clarity. In this situation I have one proxmox cluster, one backup config panel for this cluster and three jobs exist therein. I have 7 proxmox node inside this cluster they all talk to the one PBS host there...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, here is view in PBS for VM101, not sure if this gives insight about anything. The jan-26-2025 is my last good backup, which is this snip view below. As I generated this snip, I also wonder - is there maybe a timeout on client site <> PBS...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, thank you for all the very detailed / clarification and infomation - in this situation I have just the one proxmox cluster (7 proxmox nodes) talking to this one PBS host. There is no other proxmox cluster connected to this PBS host. - I...
-
Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.I agree, I see that also. Can you please tell me more verbosely what you mean with "multiple backups to same backup group" ? (I then also don't understand how it worked with success even once for metadata mode?) and for more detail-clarity. My...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Ok, here is info from log. Good-fast at top, then bad-slow at bottom. Thank you! (* for clarity, I have obscured the IP address of the PBS server to be shown as 1XX.1XX.2XX.171 - it is a real valid public IP address which I just prefer to not...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, thank you for the reply. Greatly appreciated. I am pretty certain I've got just one PBS archive target. One detail I neglected to mention. The PBS target is being used by a group of proxmox nodes in a shared-nothing proxmox cluster (7...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi Everyone, I just wanted to loop back to this thread for a little more input if possible. Context piece: I am trying to get a better understanding of how LXC Backups - duration-speed - is impacted by the 'metadata' mode for LXC Container...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, thanks for clarify footnotes. I agree, I mis-typed and said the opposite of what I meant, more or less, I think , ie, LVM and ZFS have built-in snapshot support as a "filesystem feature" EXT3/EXT4 does not CIFS and NFS mount filesystems do...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, thank you! :-) yes - Metadata mode is definitely only for LXC Containers. Not KVM hosts. I believe KVM will do the 'block deltas - change block tracking' automatically, so long as you do not power off your VM between backups / and do...

Ffortechitsolutions replied to the thread Q: PBS and LXC container backup speeds.Hi, just to followup on the thread, after poking at settings and config for a few days. Endgame summary from this story, in case it helps anyone else. the settings are made in proxmox - backup - job config for the job in question - there are...
