    "VLAN aware" checkbox has no function

    to everyone here i find that it does do something. When you create a vlan network and add tagging to it, the vlan tag actually adds an additional header to the packets, so if the network is untagged the packets coming out dont have vlan tags (in networking we treat this as vlan 0 by default but...

    disband and recreate cluster that will never fully reconnect

    the stability issues started after adding node 4, been running that configuration for more than a year. i wanted to upgrade from 6 but couldnt find a guide for it. version 7 i find is good and lets me switch to different apt providers instead of the commercial subscribed proxmox one. Sorry for...

    disband and recreate cluster that will never fully reconnect

    You are correct that the services arent running properly. I figured this before but i couldnt figure out how to fix it that just dismantling the cluster and remaking it seemed like the only option. i cant login to them. they either fail and if i try updatecert they take forever to login then...

    resize LVM partitions

    lvm partitions can be resized live with no data loss. However given the very low usage will these commands work the same way? Only thing on the OS partition is just proxmox and a few softwares to do with monitoring and testing, plenty of space, or rather too much space. I used xfs. Would it work...

    disband and recreate cluster that will never fully reconnect

    I had a cluster of 3 proxmox servers and added a 4th, however each time i try i can barely login to the GUI and they barely connect to each other. 3 of them have existing VMs i cannot simply delete. Is there a way to delete the cluster and start again without losing the VMs? I remember that in...

    resize LVM partitions

    Hi i would like to resize the root and LVM partitions. I am using larger disks but on install proxmox takes up so much space. I keep all my templates, ISOs, etc on a network drive so i would like to reduce the size of the root partition. How do i go about doing this and what is the safe limit...

    LVM horror, proxmox reports LVM thin full when actual VM disk usage low

    it won't work since the "discard operation not supported" in guest OS. I did search and it seems that this is because of using virtio all the way. How do i mount the disks to perform it on the host? I read that its possible if the VM is shut down, disk mounted and then run. My current setup for...

    LVM horror, proxmox reports LVM thin full when actual VM disk usage low

    It looks like i've encountered another LVM horror. I lost a VM to disk corruption (won't boot anymore but i can at least recover files after fsck) and found that proxmox says it is full. I then went around viewing each VM that used that partition and check their free space, even running trim on...

    proxmox mail gateway as mail server?

    Thanks, no i don't combine everything. For instance what we use for our website is hard to containerise and on the small scale keeping it simple is hard to have multiple instances for, but mail is one of the things that can be easily replicated across multiple VPS thanks to DNS whereas a website...

    proxmox mail gateway as mail server?

    its more like on the small scale it doesn't make sense to separate things. For a small company i'd rather have 2 VPS with both combining mail server and PMG.

    Hi can proxmox mail gateway function as an email server as well or basically the end point where emails end up?

    changing the management interface?

    iperf has no issues, does it like a champ. in the bench i got above 9Gbit/s without jumbo frames. CPU doesn't have to be fast you either have the VM handle the NIC directly either through PCIe passthrough or SR-IOV, or you use virtio and have debian handle it. I have a much older file server...

    changing the management interface?

    i'm going to be using a managed switch. I know the concept i just wanted to confirm if proxmox could do it. I had issues trying to get more than 10Gb/s allocating a quad port PCIe NIC to the VMs directly even with the right bonding since it seems that assigning just 1 PCIe gives access to all 4...

    changing the management interface?

    I'd like to change the network setup of the server by bonding the onboard NICs and having the main bridge be attached to it which has the management IP and change it slightly. So instead of the bridged NIC the NICs are bonded and the bridged attached to the bond instead. Can i do this from the...
