No, with different VMs. The same VM was fine on a 7.x server which I cannot reach right now (it's switced off and not here). This is the config of the problematic VM. I have just switched off iothread, I will see if the issue is still there as soon as it crashes again. It was enabled until...

I have pve-qemu-kvm Version: 8.1.5-5 on my problematic server, so it should not be that specific issue. I have an older 8.1.2-4 on another server that has no issues at all...

I'm trying to debug this issue: I have an old Debian VM with kernel 2.6.26 (i386) than has been converted from physical to virtual on a PVE 7.x temporary installation. It worked flawlessly on that PVE until it was moved to a new machine with pve-manager/8.1.4/ec5affc9e41f1d79 (running kernel...

That's really incredible because I have seen the exact opposite behaviour, with KVM memory space heavily swapped out.

It seems to me that swappiness is ignored or that it works in a way no one comprehends (or at least I don't). My much smaller server, with 16 GB RAM and just 4 VMs using about 7 GB RAM total for themselves is swapping too much. I have 5 GB swapped out with vm.swappiness at 60 (default) and more...

I also have a standard installation, only addition I installed is openvpn that I use for management. Everything else is standard PVE, single host with local LVM storage and no ceph. When this happens, I see that these values are zero and not 1 as they should...

Happened to me too. Firewall stopped working for all VMs but was still working for the pve host itself. I don't have ceph. I don't know what made the firewall stop working. This is A VERY VERY VERY BAD BUG. I will switch to firewall rules configured inside the VMs.

I am modernizing a situation that I inherited, and wanted to p2v the elderly server (17 years) before it breaks down, to be able to migrate everything to a newer software later. It seems that the old hardware will stay in production until I'm able to configure a new server and move everything to it.

I have tried (and rolled back) a P2V of a win2003r2 server. Everything seemed fine with IDE virtual disks, but when backup task (snapshot) started on the VM, I got a lot of IDE timeouts in the windows guest log, then the VM crashed. I found the VM simply switched off. Restarted it, found the...

So, to sum it up: Set up an user that has the DataStoreBackup priviliege, use it for backups from PVE (or from the backup agent on a phisical machine) and obviously do not try to set a pruning schedule on the client machine (PVE or phisical) because it will fail. Use pruning rules on the PBS server.

Thanks a lot. So if I get it right, the DataStoreBackup role allows for backups to be made and restored but not deleted in any way?

I have just read the documentation about the new PBS, and I am concerned about ransomware (or worse, attacks that are carried on by humans, that are far more intelligent that automated ransomware). The backup model is "push", i mean, the client machine (the one that is being backed up) accesses...

You're welcome.

Some time has passed, so I don't remember exactly, but I believe that I have just waited for the migration task to arrive at 100% (on the web interface) and then I just entered a lot of "udevadm trigger" commands in console. Just "udevadm trigger" and enter and then again and again until somehow...

I'm experiencing this issue, too. I have 2 virtual disks, one is 134217728 bytes, and it moved properly. The other is 125861888 bytes and I cannot get it to migrate to LVM-THIN, even using "udevadm trigger". On PVE version pve-manager/6.0-4/2a719255 (running kernel: 5.0.15-1-pve) EDIT: It...
