    Volumes too big - how Autointaller works?

    Try reinstalling and typing the following at the boot menu: linux ext4 maxroot=10 swapsize=20 http://www.jamescoyle.net/how-to/261-proxmox-advanced-install-settings You could also resize your existing partitions with something like gparted. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php

    Proxmox glusterfs does not work with CentOS 6.4

    Try making sure both versions - the client and the server - are the same major (x.x) release. See http://www.jamescoyle.net/how-to/533-glusterfs-storage-mount-in-proxmox for mounting GlusterFS in Proxmox.

    Backup/ Restore failing

    OK, so I have tried this on another machine, however it has exactly the same components. So, it is a different machine, but each component is the same on both machines. There are no fancy storage controlers or NICs - they are just i7 consumer boxes. The same issue exists - I cannot restore...

    Backup/ Restore failing

    I tried it without compression and it works fine! So what is the issue with compression? I tried both compression types and both have the same issue.

    Backup/ Restore failing

    Hi Guys, I am having issues with the backup and restore functionality in Proxmox when working with VMs. I have a qcow2 single disk VM which is about 12 GB in use (actual space consumed on the host) of a possible 64GB. The guest is Windows Server 2008 R2 with some extra 3rd party software...

    Influence guest from host

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the replys. I am going to take the route of using a NFS/ apache server to drive the scripts. A script on each guest will poll 'something' (NFS/ Apache/ etc.) and action as required. Just a note: We are not able to use a guest agent as the VM needs to be portable to other...

    Hostname not updating after re template

    I just tested this and got the same behaviour - I create a template by using the same command as you, then when I use that template in a new instance the hotname remains the same.

    Cant create containers

    Have you re-downloaded the templates to make sure that using fdisk didn't make a mess of them, if they are stored on the same disk?
