thank you so much, that solved it for me.

can I just say THANK YOOOU. Now it makes much more sense. I will deep-dive into the repo and get back to you.

Hi Long story short, I have a working VM with the following config: I created another thin-volume (named 104_replica) in the same thin-pool and did: dd if=/dev/pve/vm-104-disk-0 of=/dev/pve/104_replica the result was as shown below: next I edited the config of the vm-104 machine which was...

Hi I am wondering about the mechanism of snap-shots in proxmox. At the moment, the resulting snap is of type "V" (virtual device as shown in the attribute bits of lvs command below) and not the usual "s" (snapshot) also the resulting "snap shot device" only shows in the "lvs" command but doesn't...

thx a ton, that answers myq question. So what you are saying is that in proxmox when I add a virtual interface to a VM, two interfaces are added, one the "virtual LAN" which is added to VM from one side and at the same time, a tap device is added to the switch on the other. That makes sense now...

I am not 100% sure, but proxmox doesn't just use the normal config, it defines using "tap" interfaces firewall-bridge as we all as the vmbr0 bridge which I am not seeing in ur config above. Have you tried to copy the default config from a working proxmox setup?

When looking into the configuration of the Linux bridge (vmbr0) I can see the following: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eno1 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.10.2/24 gateway 192.168.10.1 bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off...

Thx a ton. that is very clear.

Thank you, now it is all clear "You could do that via a virtual NIC owned by the Proxmox host connected to the Bridge. In Proxmox, however, these two things are combined, so vmbr0 is both the Bridge ("virtual switch") and the network card through which all the Proxmox management stuff goes."...

For both of @Dunuin and @shanreich answers I am getting the same idea that the IP is needed to access the bridge, but the IP is assigned to an interface so it is assigned to tap0? (the first tap-device? but the tap device takes only MAC value), I mean the IP should be written into some interface...

Just to clarify, you mean that the IP is needed for me to communicate directly with the bridge?

first of all, thank you for your clarification. Let me see if I got it right, The IP is needed if I want to access the bridge it self via the IP?

Hi According to the documentation, Proxmox uses tap devices (layer-2 devices which accept Ethernet frames) along the virtual switch (Vmbr0). I am not understanding why vmbr0 has an IP address, what is it needed for? and what is it used for? The code below is taken from the documentation for the...

I got your point. I will go with the update option and report back the progress. Thx a ton.

I just dropped the caches using: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches and this is what I got (both imgs below are after dropping the caches) I can see some gigs have been shaved off the RAM but it is still alot. Any ideas on where to go next? update to PVE7 or something similar?
