The Proxmox dashboard says almost 80% of the memory is used. I checked that it adds up the max memory of the virtual machines and containers. That's about 50Gb in total. When I add up the real memory usage (like the 111Mb of my media server), then the total is around 20Gb. I am wondering what...

@gfngfn256 Clear. Thx! I see where I made the mistake in my configuration. I'll re-create the storage for VMS and CTS. I can easily migrate by making backups and restore the machines and containers in the new storage. And regarding the coordinates... well, just for fun. If a location is asked...

I am afraid I am missing a point in my Proxmox setup. LXC snapshotting is said to be enabled on ZFS. I recently did a setup from scratch, so I decided to use ZFS on all my disks with RAID1. (I have pairs of equally sized disks.) I googled a bit to learn about ZFS, and it is mostly suggested to...

I am new to ZFS, but because I have set up my server with a couple of equal-sized disks, I think it makes sense to create RAID1 sets with them. Obviously, I can do that with LVM, but I want to learn something new. I created a ZFS pool on the command line: zpool create nvme_pool mirror /dev/sdb...

This is not a Proxmox specific issue. You have make yourself familiar with LVM. I would recommend to investigate your disk layout by lsblk and gparted, and then find information on how to extend your data volume.

I'm exploring the integration of MIDI software, specifically GrandOrgue, with my Proxmox setup. My machine is robust (24-core AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 64GB RAM), and currently handles several VMs and containers smoothly. I'm contemplating two approaches: Direct installation of XFCE and GrandOrgue...

Thanks a lot for the link to this overview!! Very clear. Considering to re-setup my server after the summer holidays and use ZFS.

Yes, answered my own question. And LXC disks cannot be easily converted to qcow2 without making the containers unbootable. Never mind, I will make scripts to easily recreate them when needed.

When I try to make a snapshot of an LXC it says: The current guest configuration does not support taking new snapshots. Why is that? hmm.... just had a quick look at my other containers and VMs. All of them have the same issue, except one. As far as I can see the difference is the disk...

For others coming here for the same question: local-lvm - Remove local-lvm from the storage configuration of the Datacenter - Execute the following commands on the node's console: lvremove /dev/pve/data lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/pve/root resize2fs /dev/mapper/pve-root local Cannot be...

Three years later.... but still jumping into this discussion. Maybe someone is still listening. In my setup, I have Plex running in an LXC. All my media files are simply in a directory of an ssd on the proxmox host. I added this directory as a mount point to the Plex container. The advantage is...

I use the storages nvme and ssd for all my VMs and LXCs. I do not use local and local-lvm. Can I safely remove them? Or otherwise just unselect all contect types, so that I cannot use it for anything?

I have NVMe SSDs, and SATA SSDs. As I am planning to reconfigure my server, I was wondering what would be wise.... I will combine the disks into two logical volumes, mounted as /nvme and /ssd, and I want to use one of them for the VMs and LXCs, and the other one for the data folders that are...

Firstly, I do not have or buy Enterprise grade SSDs. It is just a homelab, with a Pihole DNS server, a Plex server for films, a Traefik reverse proxy, a database server for my hobby programming projects, an SMB server for all kind of shared data (docs, photos). And I tinker around a lot with...

Okay, here is my plan... My current setup is: 2x1Tb NVMe: one LV, for the Proxmox OS and the LXCs en VMs (on the local-lvm storage) 1x4Tb 2.5" SSD: data directories with movies, databases and data, mounted to the LXCs with Plex, SQL and SMB server. 2x2Tb spinning HDDs: data that does not need...
