    Container shutdown gives failure

    I have already noticed this a few times ... When I try to shutdown a container I get a fault message. In the Task viewer I get this: Stopping container ... TASK ERROR: command 'vzctl stop 102' failed: got timeout Configuration: Proxmox VE 2.0 Template: ubuntu-10.04-standard_10.04-4_amd64.tar.gz

    VE 2.0 RC1 - backup seriously flawed!

    @hk@ I have experienced the same unexpected behaviour: my older backup file is deleted and replaced by a new backup file; INFO: delete old backup '/backup/dump/vzdump-openvz-100-2012_03_23-14_24_02.tar.lzo'

    Minimium drive space needed for the host portion of Proxmox VE 2.0?

    I looked in one of my installation documents and found some information: Proxmox VE 1.9 and one container with the template ubuntu-10.04-standard_10.04-4_amd64 takes about 400 MB.

    SD card as backup medium

    @dietmar Sorry, I fully misunderstood this storage functionality, I thought it created a directory on a drive ... I created a backup directory and mounted the SD card to it, now it works and the "diskspace" is also correct. Thanks for your reaction.

    Proxmox VE on a SSD

    A few things that I have done to use my SSD: An SSD uses TRIM, so you need the Ext4 filesystem to make use of TRIM and also the SSD must be mounted with the right option (discard) and you can add some other usefull commands to optimize the use of the SSD: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak...

    SD card as backup medium

    I have installed a 16GB SD Ext4 card in my cardreader, that I want to use as backup medium. When I start in Datacenter > tab Storage > add Directory and select /dev/sdb1 it seems that the directory for storage is created. When I go to the SD storage and I look at the tab Summary, the size of...

    Disk space management

    I installed Proxmox VE 2.0rc1 on a 120GB SSD with the Ext4 filessytem. The SSD was already made empty and formatted with Ext4. After configuration I created 1 node and 1 Container with the template of Ubuntu 10.04 standard AMD64. What I do not understand is the space availability that is left...

    Installing Proxmox VE with an USB-stick

    I want to install Proxmox VE 2.x on a configuration without a DVD-drive. Is it possible to use a bootable USB-stick to install Proxmox VE on that configuration? Or is there an other way I can install Proxmox VE without a DVD-drive?

    Proxmox VE on a SSD

    I want to install Proxmox VE on a small (test)server with an SSD as system storage. As far as I understand you must have TRIM functionality in your filesystem and your kernel, otherwise the SSD will have a performance drop after a while. Proxmox VE 2 uses EXT4 that has TRIM functionality, but...
