    pfsense VM with UFS leads to overfull vm disk until reboot

    Hello, I recently moved to running pfsense in a VM on pve-manager/8.1.4/ec5affc9e41f1d79 (running kernel: 6.5.11-8-pve). My proxmox storage is zfs, so using virtio block storage for the vm creates a zvol. In pfsense, in order to avoid zfs on zfs, and write amplification, I am using UFS as the...

    [TUTORIAL] PCI/GPU Passthrough on Proxmox VE 8 : Installation and configuration

    Thanks for this comprehensive guide. Hoping to get help with passthrough of my iGPU that is part of a J4125 based mini-pc. When I start the debian VM I just get a black screen and the whole proxmox system freezes up. I have tried the blacklist method and the softdep with the same result. Any...

    Best way to identify processes causing IO delay and power consumption?

    Hello, I guess this is not strictly a proxmox exclusive question, but I am interested exclusively in my proxmox machine and I am hoping to benefit from the experienced users here. I recently measured my box draws 300W at the wall which is higher than expected, and I see in the proxmox GUI that...

    [SOLVED] Creating a ZFS boot mirror

    Sorry to revive this thread, but I wanted to ask you a question. How do you make sure the two efi partitions stay in sync, specifically in the case of failure of one disk? I have done the same as you: proxmox-boot-tool format /dev/nvme0n1p2 proxmox-boot-tool init /dev/nvme0n1p2 zpool attach...

    LXC ZFS + docker overlay2 driver

    I tested my other LXC and it is the same. Maybe you could test for me? In my case, docker on overlay2 fails when building a container when trying to edit write-protected files, even though it is root. It works fine when pulling a pre-made container. Could you test building this project...

    LXC ZFS + docker overlay2 driver

    Docker happily recreates the directory and then run containers fresh. It was a recommended action on the docker docs site, I think. Otherwise the old references to fuse-overlay stick around. I ended up creating a zfs volume on the proxmox host and formatting it ext4 and mounting it to...

    LXC ZFS + docker overlay2 driver

    Thanks, I removed the /var/lib/docker folder and now docker starts and reports overlay2. However, this is causing havoc, as it makes container file system read-only which is problematic for running my docker compose build? This is apparently related to overlay2 and I get this error in dmesg...

    LXC ZFS + docker overlay2 driver

    T For the lxc that had fuse, I cannot get it to work with overlay2. I now have 2 lxc on overlay2. The fuse one now will not start, and I don't know what to do next. This is the error: Mar 14 06:18:12 whisper dockerd[508]: time="2023-03-14T06:18:12.024544396Z" level=info msg="Starting up" Mar...

    LXC ZFS + docker overlay2 driver

    I have ZFS on my storage pool for lxc containers and I have a few LXC containers for docker with different Storage Driver: I guess I want overlay2 for all of them? For example, LXC 126 has these options: features: nesting=1,keyctl=1 unprivileged: 1 lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: a lxc.cap.drop...

    [SOLVED] Today's Kernel / Firmware Update has really messed up my boxes!

    I will migrate to a vm too, but temporarily, to make the vfs work, I needed braces as well, like this: cat /etc/docker/daemon.json { "storage-driver": "vfs" }

    Pfsense as VM - VLANs on LAN?

    eno1 is WAN and enp2s0 is LAN. Is that not this? auto vmbr1 iface vmbr1 inet manual bridge-ports eno1 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0 Maybe this is the issue? If I have a vmbr4094 interface in promox, then I DHCP works to VM assigned 4094 but that is apparently not passed to the switch...

    Pfsense as VM - VLANs on LAN?

    Hello, I have VLANS working for my proxmox VM and LXC - but I cannot get any external devices to recognise the VLAN. My proxmox machine has two NICs. One for WAN and one for LAN. LAN connects to a TL-SG108E switch on port 7. Port 7 is tagged for VLAN 4094. Trying to connect a VLAN aware device...

    proxmox host becomes inaccessible for two-three minutes at a time

    Ah, interesting. So I looked in the ARPtable of my pfsense and I do have duplicate mac address that are the Virtual IPs for pfsense. None others listed there. Looking at ìp link` on my proxmox the mac address of the proxmox interface is repeated like this. Are they problematic? 2: enp2s0...

    proxmox host becomes inaccessible for two-three minutes at a time

    Hello, I have been using proxmox at home for a few years, and this is starting to bug me. I have noticed disconnects from ssh over time and I just started to notice a broader pattern that lead me to realise that my proxmox host becomes unresponsive to network traffic for about two-three minutes...
