Not sure how relevant it is but this is my experience after struggling A LOT with these almost random issues. Note however that this is for a DATASET, NOT A ZVOL ! lsof unfortunately never worked for me troubleshooting ZFS busy issues ... # Dataset to be destroy DATASET="zdata/PODMAN-TEST" #...

I was facing the same problem (usually solved through backing everything up via zfs send | zfs receive remotely, recreating the partition layout & zpool, and restoring through zfs send | zfs receive remotely in reverse). I discovered that the wrong line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is actually added...

I recently upgraded Proxmox VE from 7.x to 8.x alongside a Debian Bullseye -> Debian Bookworm Upgrade. On some systems however, it gets stuck at boot. The only thing I can see over Remote Management / IPMI is, using Kernel 6.5.11-7-pve: Any ideas on how to debug further ? Kernel...

That's unfortunate. I solved this the "easy" way by bifurcating the PCIe slot to x8x8 instead of x4x4x4x4. This way, since 2 devices are installed (in M.2 slot #1 and #3, so that each falls in a separate x8 slot), no "empty" places are left. The "trick" appears to work fine across several...

I successfully managed to setup PCIe Bifurcation on my Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+, since I am using a NVME Expander (ASUS Hyper M.2 X16 V2) for 2 x NVME drives in striped configuration (planning to destroy & recreate as mirror for safety reasons !). The NVME Expander is *not* passed through any...

Thank you for your reply, Richard. The system runs fine with kernel from the 5.3.x series. Now up since 5 days and still going strong. Something is definitively wrong with the kernel in the 5.4.x series. Why would the issue be caused by saltstack? You think the salt minion is causing a kernel...

For some weird reason my recently installed "new" NAS is randomly rebooting (approximatively 1-2 times each hour). System: - Supermicro X10SLL-F - Intel Xeon E3-1270 V3 - 4 x 8GB Unbuffered ECC DDR3 - 2 x Crucial MX100 256GB - 1 x IBM Exp ServeRAID M1015 (LSI 9220-8i) -> PCI-e pass-through to...

IMPORTANT: see EDIT #3 as to why this script doesn't work. I modified a bit the script from @radensb to be more dynamic and support several devices and separate the script from the configuration. My main motivation is to install the script using Saltstack on every PVE host. Then on each PVE...

Hi, I wanted to share my bits with you concerning my home lab cluster made of: - Permanent on-state machines - Ad-hoc machines (in order to reduce power consumption) Of course, besides the "usual" problems of voting (solved by assigning a much higher number of votes to the permanently-on...

I will gladly provide any information that could help solve this issue but I'm not sure what I can give more as information ... I am just forcing a folder to be immutable with the "+i" flag. I don't want the system to be able to write to that folder without the ramdisk (tmpfs) being mounted...

I recently started playing with Proxmox VE 5.1.3 and so far my impressions are good. Due to some performance overhead of KVM for a distcc compile server, I tried LXC and I get bare metal performance essentially. The only problem is that, in order to avoid filling the local disk, I want to...
