    VM read/write optimization

    Greetings, I'm trying to analyze and optimize read and write performance of a VM which is performing the role of NAS and has control over some of the storage. Setup is as following Virtual Environment 5.3-12 VM config (some parts removed): balloon: 0 boot: dcn bootdisk: scsi0 cores: 2 cpu...

    LXC user mappings

    Greetings, My question is related to user mapping of unprivileged container to be able to write to NFS share attached to host. As far as i understand I need to map a user from that container to root user on the host. However what worries me is that this same user within container runs multiple...

    Stuck on shutdown

    Been an old topic but there is new information about it. I did update my PVE (but we are still speaking for PVE 5.3, not 5.4) as you mentioned and did use a hookscript and it was working fine until I discovered another case where PVE fails to proceed with shutdown, probably again because of NFS...

    openSUSE containers problem

    Greetings, Is it me or both templates for openSUSE 42.3 and Leap 15.0 appear kind of broken - Leap 15.0 is fully inaccessible via console or ssh - console is literally empty just with marker for typing and Leap 42.3 does load a console, refuse root login, sometimes stuck while typing password...

    Stuck on shutdown

    Greetings In Proxmox I had to perform a shutdown recently and the system did not shutdown and was not accessible from web interface. When I connected to the server with display it was stuck on "reached target shutdown". I noticed that before that there was a message along those lines [FAILED]...

    Mounting VM lvm-thin image in lxc

    What if I mount that partition as loop device and read-only, within Proxmox and then bind mount that in LXC? PMS within the LXC doesn't need write access to that data, it just need to be able to see and read the multimedia from it. I did some testing with that but it seems, once partition is...

    Mounting VM lvm-thin image in lxc

    I will look into that. I wonder if it is going to work - after all that same partition is technically been used by the VM and the LXC simultaneously? It is expected for the LXC to do just reads but not guaranteed and VM is focused on writes.

    Mounting VM lvm-thin image in lxc

    Shared storage between VM and LXC

    Let me describe my use case more precisely. Currently I have a VM with Rockstor (a NAS system) which also have rock-ons (simply addons) and in this case it have Plex Media Server (or PMS) as an addon. Rockstor addons are docker containers based on official documentation. PMS transcoding can be...

    Shared storage between VM and LXC

    Greetings, Is it possible to create a container with direct access to the storage of another VM without stuff like network sharing directories between both?

    NUMA testing - some issues

    Greetings, I decided to do some UMA and NUMA testing to optimize my VM performance. Its not exactly scientific because the "load" is Plex, forced to transcode high definition video. Plex is installed as Rockstor container, and Rockstor itself is in a VM. Server is Dual socket Xeon 4c/8t each...

    Is static LAG supported?

    Greetings! I want to do 4 port link aggregation and the switch I'm considering does not support 802.3ad, but it does says static link aggregation is supported. I wonder if thats doable with Proxmox or only dynamic link aggregation is supported.
