    API: Assign IP while creating a VM

    > Next version will include cloud-init support, but that needs special/prepared VMs. Nice. This would allow to do full cycle management through API. I'm thinking to write CPI for Proxmox and inability of managing VM IPs is one of blockers.

    Eth rate limit -> unstable bandwidth

    iperf is doing half-duplex test by default. As I remember from times when I played around with traffic shapers it was easy to slow down outgoing traffic but not easy for incoming. And the only way to limit incoming traffic was to drop some packets.

    can vnc resolution be scaled/zoomed if too large?

    Shrink Local Storage

    I guess you have most of space occupied by /dev/mapper/pve-data. If so the easiest way to get more space would be: 1. Unmount and reduce file system size at /dev/mapper/pve-data 2. Reduce size of LVM volume /dev/mapper/pve-data (Be careful here. If you make the volume smaller then the FS size...

    KVM on top of DRBD and out of sync: long term investigation results

    Generally writeback cache mode for qemu is not safe and can cause data loss on power failure. My previous message was only related to DRBD and out of sync blocks.

    KVM on top of DRBD and out of sync: long term investigation results

    Hi There, I have some updates regarding the issue. Recent tests shows that all cache modes with O_DIRECT produce out of sync blocks and modes without O_DIRECT do not produce out of sync blocks. So both writethrough and writeback can be considered safe in relation to this issue. Best regards...

    KVM on top of DRBD and out of sync: long term investigation results

    This is more about I/O subsystem then about network. I would choose not more than 1/3 or even 1/4 of maximum possible I/O throughput.

    KVM on top of DRBD and out of sync: long term investigation results

    Hello, Just a remark: such a big resync-rate can cause I/O starvation and big issues afterwards. Stanislav
