Hello, At our latest backup jobs the backups of all OpenVZ-containers failed with massive output of I/O errors in the logfiles. After investigating this i traced it down to the snapshot-volume not growing but staying at 1G size. Available space on the VG is >1TB. # lvm dumpconfig | grep...

Hello, As i'm already struggling with systemd and/or its ugly siblings on 2 systems I was wondering if the proxmox team plans on implementing systemd with the upcoming release of debian jessie, which most likely will ship with systemd as standard. To prepare for the worst I just set up a...

After reverting back these packages the system is working again: pve-kernel-2.6.32-23-pve:amd64 2.6.32-109 pve-manager:amd64 3.1-3 qemu-server:amd64 3.1-1 proxmox-ve-2.6.32:all 3.1-109 pve-libspice-server1:amd64 0.12.4-1 I've take a snapshot of the system and will try to figure out which...

I updated one of our nodes today (subscription repository). The node was running kernel version 2.6.32-23-pve before, update ended without any errors or warnings. At first reboot the system locked up after starting the first container. After disabling any Container or VM via single-user mode...

The Test-VM I mentioned didn't had any virtio drivers installed but burned to death after running windows updates and connecting the HASP dongle via USB2.0. Thanks for your efforts, but as far as i verified the problem it is connected to some windows updates which broke some drivers... But it...

I'm not using virtio network drivers (win 2008 lost its network on 2 out of 3 reboots with virtio net) plus all drives are connected via IDE -> problem still persistent.

Win7 / 2008 R2 is fine with USB2.0 - everything older (XP, 2008 "R1") chokes on its own interrupts when using *some* devices via USB2.0. Interestingly a naked, unpatched install of 2008 I set up for testing did not show this behavior, but on the other day after it finally finished updating and...

I just installed a new W2K8 R2 guest to one of our Proxmox hosts, installed virtio-drivers for disk, ballooning and network and just wanted to disable the windows write-cache, but i get an error about disabling the cache is not possible for that device. Another 2K8 R2 server is running with...

on the fly: hdparm -W0 /dev/sdx mount-option "sync" and "dirsync" will also bypass the write cache. Also the guest needs to have it disabled (not only by guest options on the host system!) - on windows guests this can be achieved by enabling quick removal (e.g. on 2008 R2 you also have the...

caching should be only done by the RAID-controller (thus a BBU is essential!), not by software. disable HDD-caches at the host and for the guest, then IO-wait and overall HDD-performance should be best.

I just recognized the invoice status at the maurer shop is still "unpaid" - maybe the transfer germany -> austria will take a few more days. Anyhow, i can stop searching for the problem at our servers ;)
