Part 2: 5. Streamlined smb.conf Architecture Open /etc/samba/smb.conf inside the container. By exploiting Samba's internal macro overrides (where ignore system acls = yes automatically presets store dos attributes = yes, sets all map options to no, and clears creation masks to allow pure...

Part 1 - too long to fit in one post. A Definitive Guide: High-Performance Samba + Native ZFS Windows ACLs in an Unprivileged Proxmox LXC This blueprint configures: a standalone Samba file server running inside an unprivileged Proxmox LXC container while storing Windows NT ACLs directly inside...

I assume both of these are installed in the host ;) (yes, I'm running Samba. Separate and more-intense challenge than I expected. Separate thread coming!)

Before I waste a bunch of time on this... has anybody either succeeded in doing this in an LXC, or ("expertly") concluded that zfs snapshot automation must be done in the PVE host? I too of course would love to see Proxmox add a feature for dataset snapshot automation ( every M minutes, every H...

@UdoB a number of studies done during Dr Steve Hetzler's time at IBM research. All (or mostly all ;) ) on archive.org.... smorgastor.drhetzler.com When I find some Round Tuits I'll try to dredge up what I've got.

(For others reading... "two small enterprise SSDs" is not necessarily good advice! Enterprise SSD's are very very FAST. However, this comes at a cost. They are NOT designed for long term storage, and are far more subject to rapid bit rot than consumer SSD's. Consumer SSD's can have bitrot within...

More often than not, qm stop fails because the lock file can't be locked. The very common workaround DOES work: delete the lock file, then run qm stop. But if that's all it takes, why bother messing with lock files at all? What's the correct way to fix this, so qm stop actually works without...

I have my first Windows VM. I was shocked to discover, when examining the Event Viewer, that qemu-ga is recording a "Ping" event every 11 seconds, 24/7. ("guest-ping called") That's enough to massively fill the event log with stupid stuff. How can I disable this atrocious logging behavior...

Thanks. Well, I do encourage adding documentation about the decline in quality/growing issues. Quite sad... at least RDP is working without breaking the world.

@dcsapak Dominik, I've submitted the bug report. I also browsed the spice-devel email list, and overall activity of the project. UNFORTUNATELY:. Did you know: RedHat deprecated SPICE in fall of 2022?!! AND they removed it from RHEL 9. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2030592#c4...

I've been going crazy... Moved my long-stable Retrospect network backup system to a Windows VM All kinds of strange anomalies have been seen My backup catalog file needs rebuilding... a long/slow process when crunching 17TB of backups, many millions of files and metadata I simply could NOT get...

Great ideas! I will check them out. Not aware of RPC Shutdown, but having never had this happen to any other device on our network, that seems least likely. I'll be back at some point ;)

I don't mind sharing the logs. Just... boring :) I'm thinking it's in noVNC -- not internal to the VM, and not (exactly) in ProxMox either LOL. Here's a sample log. VM 710 is the VM of interest:

Ummm... that page provides rather "subtle" documentation :) ... It's a sentence within an explanatory note?! Emphasis mine: In further searching, I don't find "prelaunch" anywhere in the Wiki, nor the Administrator's Guide. And I don't find a clear explanation of this risk anywhere in the...

Thanks, good questions. nothing at all in journalctl at that time... only when the shutdown is complete. So honestly I can't see how ProxMox is involved in initiating the shutdown. Haven't set up auto-restart (although starting to wonder if that's a necessary workaround :( ) I can disconnect...
