    Guests are stopping on data transfer (scp)

    I have 32GB RAM in total. The load average is 60 to 70%. There are 8 concurrent running VMs in which, an average of 5 GB RAM is assigned, hardly over 50% load average. The VM 301 is an exception with a bit more RAM assigned. I haven't seen the other VM using more RAM simultaneously. I'll adjust...

    Guests are stopping on data transfer (scp)

    Thanks for asking back. The files are more or less 1GB. Worth to mention: I had been playing around with network card and disc controller but the behaviour hasn't changed no matter what type I have used. boot: order=scsi0;ide2;net0 cores: 4 ide2: none,media=cdrom memory: 8640 name: DB-srvr...

    Guests are stopping on data transfer (scp)

    I did dig deeper into the hypothesis about the an insufficent root disk (which is an USB stick). So I have moved the swap file to the NVME disk. The system doesn't freeze anylonger: I/O latency is gone, overall disc performance became really good! Just to complete this post: a guideline of how...

    Guests are stopping on data transfer (scp)

    Hello Oguz Thank you for your guidance. I have something Syslog and journal note an RRDC error right in the moment when the system freezes. (I don't know what that is, I'd need to google). So I googled it. I understand it is related to the statistics analyzer (?). So the message isn't directly...

    My unqualified comparison between ESXi and ProxMox

    Sure, thank you for asking. I had rather everything related to the disk done through shell. And this of course, since I had the ESXi disks put into the ProxMox server. The UI does not address this migration path. And this is certainly fine as this won't be a daily use case and only happens...

    Guests are stopping on data transfer (scp)

    Dear all I have an issue when copying large chunks of data from one virtual machine to another. The RAMs on the source and target machines are filling-up until, disk I/O increases until the whole host system freezes. Swapping however seems to be decent. The hosts are on different SATA discs...

    My unqualified comparison between ESXi and ProxMox

    I have recently changed from ESXi 6.7 to ProxMox and thought to write down my first impressions. I had uses ESXi starting with version 5.0 for my home lab. I have chosen ESXi after a longer evaluation between the hyporvisors available at that time. ESXi was the only one fulfilling all my needs...

    [SOLVED] /dev/mapper/pve-root filling up on file transfer

    Indeed a rather obvious suggestion.. :-) It seems that somebody (me) had messed up fstab. Not juts a little. Realy. I had some false mounts that saved data to the /mnt directory. Thank you.

    [SOLVED] /dev/mapper/pve-root filling up on file transfer

    Digging a bit further into it, I may face two issues: - one is the mentioned fillup of the pve root - second is the IO delay by the discs For the latter I suspect a crappy onboard SATA controller on the mainboard. I may just have to life with that. For the first, any advice would be welcome...

    [SOLVED] /dev/mapper/pve-root filling up on file transfer

    Dear all Moved from ESXi to proxmox I already gain experiences :) I have an issue with /dev/mapper/pve-root running out of disk space. It does that until no space is left. It does this, if several 1 TB files (database backup, zip files) with SCP (in one go) from one vm to another. I have...
