It looks like the root disk filled up--too many files in /var/lib/vz/dump --I've pruned the backups from there (those were from before I setup the PBS). Thanks @Onslow for the help tracking this down. Hopefully that was my only issue with this PVE setup.

The Realm is Linux PAM standard authentication

I'd greatly appreciate any tips or pointers to get to the bottom of what is going on. What logs would you suggest I look at to try to understand this? My web login gets disabled again after ~2 days. Here's what I see: -1 nightly set of backups to PBS succeeds -2nd night the backups do not get...

OK after running for nearly 2 days, logins on the web ui started failing again. This time I just rebooted the PVE server (without changing the root password) and I can login again after the reboot (no other changes). Does anyone have any suggestions re: identifying the root cause (from logs or...

I'm running a standalone PVE 9.0.11 on a remote host connected with tailscale (no ports open to the interwebs). After the server has been running for a few days, when I try to login to the web UI, I get a 401 authentication error. I've noticed that when this occurs, my nightly backups to a...

Yes, @bl1mp , the fresh install created a working /etc/network/interfaces file that I used to start with (when I did the bench-based setup of the new motherboard, I only connected the 10Gb NIC that I wanted used, to my switch, and it was auto-selected). After swapping motherboards, I updated...

Here's what I did in the end: created an ext4 USB thumb drive, then mounted it on the old machine at /mnt/usb Old Machine: mount usb thumb drive on /mnt/usb and tar key config files to thumb drive: mount /dev/sdp /mnt/usb cd / tar czf /mnt/usb/pve.tar.gz ./etc/pve/nodes/*...

There must be a better way, but it's not clear to me what that is. :oops:

@bl1mp Correct!

@bl1mp Essentially what I am trying to do is replace the motherboard and boot NVMe ZFS mirror with a faster motherboard+CPU+RAM, and faster+more robust NVMe drives, and then leverage the existing U.2 storage, SAS-controller and spinning rust drives (all ZFS). So swapping the mobo+CPU+RAM would...

@gridiron By "re-importing the config", do you mean copying over everything from /etc/pve from the old machine to the new one, or is there more to it?

I need to migrate a single PVE9 server to new hardware. I have a mirrored NVMe zfs boot drive and 2 x U.2 data drives + spinning rust drives for VMs and Data. What would be the simplest way to migrate this systems to 2 x new NVMe drives (same size but new, faster w/higher TBW specs)? I tried...

It turned out that the root cause on my system was suricata (most likely a misconfiguration of suricata). My workaround was to disable suricata (I am using crowdsec): sudo systemctl stop suricata.service sudo systemctl disable suricata.service

Hi Folks, Does anyone know what might be going on? I'm seeing vmbr0 flipping into and out of promiscuous mode, until, eventually (< 1 hour), the machine becomes completely unresponsive (even from the console) and I have to power cycle/reset the machine. Debugging is a bit challenging, since the...

I have some files that I store on the same zpool that is used to store datastores. Is there any way to select files outside of a datastore and write them to a tape using Tape Backup directly? It seems that this is not supported, and that Tape Backup will only backup data in a Datastore (that...
