Good to know these options exist, something I'll look into once I do my upgrade.

I am looking at upgrading my networking and thinking I want to go with 2 switches. The NAS, and each VM server would get 2 10 gig links, one from each switch. Is there any configuration options for setting this up so traffic can use both links and if one fails it just continues to work? Or...

I've been doing more troubleshooting on this but not really getting anywhere. It's also affecting the other USB device, but that one seems to last longer, like 10 hours. The devices don't actually drop out or anything they just stop responding. Can still connect with picocom but can't do...

I'm working on virtualizing my home automation server, it has two USB devices that act as a serial device, the first device is a relay controller with temp sensors and that one works. The other one is an Arduino. For some reason, that one only works if I disconnect and reconnect it. So if I...

Figured it out! Not sure why it originally broke the web interface though... but now I have that working, and also can login from my backup server as root. Turns out I had root login disabled in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

I added to it, which is odd why it broke stuff. I rolled back now and can access the web console again, but I'm hoping there's a way I can add an additional key so that I can pull a backup. The dumps are stored as root so I need to be able to SSH in as root (with a key) for the backup job to work.

I was reviewing my backups and realized that I didn't have a backup job setup to pull down anything from my online PVE host. So I added my local backup server's .pub file content to the authorized_keys file, not thinking that PVE uses this for cluster communication I presume. This particular...

Is there a way, perhaps with a plugin or something, to emulate a GPU, and for vram, assign it say, a SSD or something? Obviously it would be very slow, but it would perhaps be a way to run even very big LLMs locally without the expense of a real GPU. Is there actually a way to do this?

Personally I only use SSDs for OS drives. For live data HDDs are still the best, long term. I get acceptable performance with raid 10 and most of my drives get 10+ years of life. They still work after that, it's just that I tend to replace them anyway as part of upgrades and they get...

The VMs are essentially shut down abruptly, like pulling the power cord, then after Proxmox realizes what just happened, they are restarted on another node. It's not as clean as I would have hoped but I guess to do it 100% live it would require that the ram state is somehow replicated in real...

Boot up with a live Linux CD and let it idle for a bit, maybe open some stuff that can use system resources like a bunch of browser tabs or something, and see if you get the same problem. It sounds like it could be a hardware issue, but this could be a way to rule it out. If you're actually...

Had a catastrophic failure of my entire server rack, I don't know why but the batteries didn't last during a short outage and I still need to investigate this but long story short the whole rack dropped hard. I managed to recover the NAS and I can see all the LUNs and the data etc. But in PVE...

Yeah was thinking that. Guess it is a better route to go.

Curious if there are VirtIO drivers available for Windows98 or even older versions like 95 or even 3.11, and also just general drivers for stuff like display, mouse, keyboard etc. I installed Windows 98 just for fun and nostalgia but the cursor keeps loosing sync with console making it hard to...

Might look into the qdevice, is it possible to have more than one? Like say, if I add 2 could I get away with only one host running? Of course I would still need to shutdown some VMs if I don't have enough ram on the single host. Although I might just fast track getting 2 more hosts as I've...
