    rescue advice needed - recover info from VM - HowTo?

    Hi bbgeek17, thanks for replying. I've done a quick search and can see some light at the end of the tunnel ;-) Are you aware of any such guide related to Proxmox? I would prefer to find a guide related to Proxmox, as one of the things I found relates to Thin provisioning, and frankly my...

    Getting Pfsense up and running in Proxmox

    For completnes sake: I have attached a monitor to my Proxmox box, can't do a screengrab but here's at least a picture showing lspci. Further: In the mean time I've done minimal reading on DHCP config of opnsense, this has learned me that there are 2 DHCP servers on-board, ISC DHCP and Kea. I...

    Getting Pfsense up and running in Proxmox

    Ha ha!, that's exactly the one I set out to follow. Does not work out of the box (anymore) At least for me, pci pasthrough does not seem to function as expected => QEMU exited with code 1 I'm not aware what this error means, and can't seem to find proper explanation on the www.

    Some more info: - As a matter of fact, I started out following Techno Tim's youtube video. A bit later I realized that it dated May 16, 2020.. so that explained, things have obviously changed, and I could not get it to work. - I have also been looking at youtube video's from Lawrence Systems...

    Getting Pfsense up and running in Proxmox

    Might it be because this system does not support IOMMU? This is what my system shows in BIOS: As far as I'm aware, everything related to Virtualization is enabled. The single setting that was not enabled was this VT for Direct i/o, and as I am not familiar with IOMMU, I have guessed that this...

    Getting Pfsense up and running in Proxmox

    Some more trying to better understand: I have been spending quite some time following guides on the internet and such. Here are my thoughts / questions: I'm running on older hardware, so I wonder if it supports IOMMU. Did some searching and changed some settings in the BIOS Thanks for chiming...
