Update - the Debian lxc has had the IP address changed in the same way.

I have 8.2.2 running in Intel NUC. I recently added a second NIC, USB C to LAN. I have an Ubuntu 24.04 lxc running and added second NIC. EHT 0 is on 192.168.1.0/24 network with IP fixed on router, works fine address 192.168.1.167. The second NIC I want to add on 192.168.2.0/24 network as...

Is Tailscale likely to cause any problems with upgrade process? Anyone done this with Tailscale installed on the host?

I have an Ubuntu VM with additional virtual HD for temporary storage, I backup the VM regularly but not the virtual HD. I need some files from the backup. I restore, before starting I delete and readd the network adaptor to avoid IP conflicts. Also give it a new name. Starting the restored VM...

Thanks for the input and to finish the thread, I couldn't get my head round the instructions to expand the drive so decided to backup VM and CT, swap SSD, reinstall and restore. I had made minimal customisations to Proxmox so it wasn't hard to get back to where I was - Postfix, enable WOL and...

Thanks all for the input: Could this step: "- edit your partition table (move superblocks to the new end of the disk) - extend your partition" Be done with gparted?

I'm looking for more space on the OS SSD for VMs and CTs. The above approach looks quite complex. An alternative I was thinking off was a fresh install on the new bigger SSD - but if I do this how can I restore my settings? I've no problem backing up and restoring CT and VM, it's more the mail...

My OS drive is a 120 GB SSD and is getting full. The VMs and CTs are on a separate NVME. I Clonezilla'd OS the drive to a 500 GB SSD but the extra space is not available. How do I create more LVM-thin space?

Perfect thanks very much.

Using 7.2-3 - I have an NVME drive I was using for VM and CT. It has bad sectors so is to be returned. I wiped the drive ready for this, removed it, restarted to find no networking. Couldn't ping the router. Other than that from the terminal I established the system was running OK. I replace...

Just to finish this off in case anyone is interested or has a similar problem I think the problem was bad blocks on the NVME drive. badblocks -v /dev/nvme0n1 > ~/bad_sectors.txt found eight bad blocks. This site proved useful...

Ran smartctl -a /dev/nvme0n1 again - I must have missed below first time. SMART/Health Information (NVMe Log 0x02) Critical Warning: 0x00 Temperature: 45 Celsius Available Spare: 100% Available Spare Threshold: 10% Percentage...

Somewhere in the midst of several reboots I am now on on version 7.2-3

The above has all the smartctl info, nil truncated. I removed the virtual 100 GB drive from the backup config and now I get a new error: ERROR: Backup of VM 105 failed - job failed with err -61 - No data available Googling this leads to several dead ends. Reboot does not change anything and I...
