@Docent I installed Proxmox VE 2.0 from USB stick on my testserver and I run it from a SSD and make backups on a SD card. So, all diskless ...

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

@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'

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.

@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.

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...

@Oeginc A few remarks on using the 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 #make a...

For question 4a I can point you to this: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/8662-Proxmox-VE-on-a-SSD

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...

If you want to use a SSD, you need TRIM functionality and AFAK Ext4 has only TRIM functionality ...

Thank you GT1, I have searched in the forum, but missed this entry ;-)
