Not sure what to say but Wow, congrats on the exhaustive effort documented by OP. I was trying to get this to go on an Aorus motherboard with an old MSI graphics not-GPU, managed to get that to pass through with Nouveu or something, and I was over the moon. I had a new Proxmox host passing...

Busy day back on the desktop machine: Upgraded to current decade GPU, got that going in the Ubuntu OS Flashed MB BIOS (it was 2023), blank & reconfigure bios Updated blacklists and vfio addressing redo pci gpu passthrough Same behavior, screen blanks when the VM starts then monitors go No...

I wondered if the age of the GTX 960 might have some incompatibility or other problem with GPU passthrough. So I turned around and tried install Proxmox on my Framework 13 laptop. It's got a GPU after all, and had benched twice as high as the 960. So this was fun, totally insane and a few...

This has been adventure but I'll try to explain. Started with a working AMD desktop running Ubuntu desktop that boots off NVME. Installed a second NVME, loaded Proxmox 9 on that. Within PVE, created a VM with no disk, instead passed through that first NVME. I did PCI pass through to the MSI...

Hello and thanks for writing. Within Node, I did go under Disks/LVM and there was an entry for /dev/sdf that I was able to blow away. However systemctl still showed an osd.17, and there was still the untouchable directory in /var I wanted to clean that up but was feeling spicy and just added...

Hi, I tried to add an osd.17 this morning. Unfortunately I had a pre-existing entry in ceph.conf containing networking for a previous osd.17, and I hadn't cleaned up after deleting that. I have a back network for OSD traffic so each OSD gets an ceph.conf entry. This resulted in my first ghost...

This can also be used to bypass making a Microsoft account to set up, and create a local account instead. When you're at the Regional Settings, console up and do the bypassnro, the VM will then reboot. Once it returns, you need to disconnect networking. So you can do terminal again and...

I might be able to add NVME or maybe SATA SSD for caching, but for the time being the heavy lifting will be on ol' CMR. Much learning about latency, iops, and swapping OSDs around is foreseen. I'm inclined to agree especially with the caliber of drives that I have around. Although I did get...

Sure, I would love to put up runbooks & configs somewhere, minus public IP addresses and that kind of thing, and/or maybe a build-journal thread if people on this forum are into that.

That's priceless, thank you. The goals of this racket are: to set up a PVE where I can make & break Vm's (containers etc) for computer & network studies have enough compute power to spin up fake networks, DR simulations, etc maintain storage and VM's for self-hosting cool services and things...

I've been messing with Proxmox on and off for years in homelab using old desktops as hosts and lately added a pair of second-hand enterprise servers. Just started messing with Ceph in virtualized hosts, had a lot of fun with that and I want to try running it on metal for home & lab use. However...

Confirmed! Setting processor type to Host cleared up the error in EVE on a VM on a Dell R730. I'll certainly remember that for upcoming nested VM experiments. Thanks!
