thanks a lot, that could work.

I have just installed PBS and trying to figure out how it works. Mostly its ok, but there is one thing i'd like to solve: my PBS datastore used a NFS share mounted via fstab. The share is provided by a VM and the actual data is stored on disks on a passed-trough RAID controller. When I try to...

thank you, that was exactly the command i was looking for. discard was enabled on the disk, but without running the command it did not free up the space somehow.

i have reorganized the content of my VM and moved some data to a separate virtual disk to have more flexibility if i ever need to increase the disk size, not touching the OS partition. now the original virtual disk has a lot of free space, but the VM still takes up ~130 GB on the local-lvm...

yes, it looks like that, and it was also my first hunch, but after seeing that my another PVE node is able to connect to it, i am leaning towards PVE being the culprit. etc/pve/storage.cfg looks the same on both nodes root@pve-smc:~# cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg dir: local path...

So, this is a strange issue, as I think shared storage is configured on datacenter level. Yet, on of my nodes can't access the share. I can manually mount the share with nfs vers=3 only, with vers=4 it gives an error. both nodes are on the same version. node pve-smc was restarted recently. I...

WAN, LAN connection to switch and LAN direct connection to my main PC - mostly to utilize the 2.5 Gig connection on both computers (switch is only 1 Gig)

I am setting up a new proxmox node on a machine with a 4 port NIC, that I am planning to use (among others) as a router with OPNsense. On my previous setups i have used vmbr bridges without passtrough. Now I have decided i will try to passtrough 3 of the NICs to OPNsense (keeping one for PVE...

another thing that can take up a lot of space on older installation is old linux kernels. for some reason apt-autoremove does not take care of them and they have to be manually uninstalled. i gained 3 gigs of free space just by doing dpkg --list | grep pve-kernel and apt purge pve-kernel-5.15.3*

I need to move my pve system disk containing the lvm-thin folder to a smaller drive. the volume group has sufficient unallocated space, however i need to shrink the actual partition, so that clonezilla is able to process the move. this is how my volume group looks like. i need to save up...

check your BIOS

and we have the culprit. it's an external drive used for redundant backups of selected VMs that apparently got unmounted a few months ago and instead of throwing an error pve kept backuping to local... the question remaining is where are these phantom backups on local and how to get rid of them...?

I have noticed the free space on my local partition is decreasing significantly, while in theory there should be basically nothing on this partition except the proxmox system and a few iso images or lxc templates. i was trying to check with ncdu what's on the disk, but it shows only 8,4 GB is...
