If I had increased it a little bit more, it would have worked with your advice. See my last answer.

Well the answer is : ZFS can do compression and does it ! /home contains big log files that compress well. When you restore from ZFS to ZFS, you achieve a comparable compression result. But when you restore to another FS without compression (e.g. ext4 on LVM or LVM-Thin), your root FS grows...

Strange thing discovered while investigating further. root@proxmox3:/rpool/subvol-120-disk-0# du -bch home/* ... 16G total While : root@proxmox3:/rpool/subvol-120-disk-0# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 98.7G 801G 92.2G /rpool...

I tried but without success. I increased it from 10 GB to 11, 12 and 20. It's always the same. The failure is even more strange as a restore of a VM's backup to /mnt/data succeeds ! root@proxmox3:/# ls -lh /mnt/data/images/201 total 58G -rw-r----- 1 root root 58G Feb 21 07:33...

Hi there, I have two Proxmox VE 8 servers called proxmox1 and proxmox3. The backups of proxmox1 are validated every night (copy to Debian desktop, decompress, start and ping). Proxmox3 is an old Dell Precision T1650 meant to serve as backup in case proxmox1 fails. It has a 512MB NvMe on a...

So did I and it works well. Thank you. Marc

Dear Stefan,, I had tried this earlier before posting but without success : $ qm status 201 ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: No such file or directory ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: No such file or directory ipcc_send_rec[3] failed: No such file or directory please run as root $ As you can see, even the...

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to grant to a specific user the permission to run qm reset or qm reboot. Thanks in advance. Marc

Hi, is there a way to prune backups for a given container without creating a new back-up ? I can of course do it from the GUI but would like to do it from the CLI. Thanks. Marc

Hi, I am having difficulties migrating a Debian container running on a Proxmox 6 host (5.4.106-1-pve) to a plain Debian 10 server (kernel 4.19.0-16-amd64). I tried the following : - restore from Proxmox backup - restore from tar archive with --numeric-owner option - run lxc-start as user and...

Hi, I would like to perform two automated tests on the backups taken every night of my containers and VMs : - untar - start The backups are transferred every night to a machine that runs Debian 10. I started writing a bash script that takes the latest backup for a given CT/VM ID and untars...

Just another hint. From the container, /proc/bus/usb appears to be owned by nobody:nobody.

Hi, I am trying to allow an unprivileged container to communicate with my APC UPS using apcupsd. I have modified my conf file and added the two following lines : lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 189:* rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/001/006 dev/bus/usb/001/006 none bind,optional,create=file On...

Yes I did, using gParted and then I did zfs set volsize=... It worked like a charm. Thanks

Hi, I installed 6.3 on a new server in order to test it prior to migrating my main server. In the process, I switched from LVM to ZFS. I would like to use the qemu-img -resize command in order to shrink a raw file on ZFS. How can I achieve this ? Cheers. Marc
