    I want to set the default view is the "Folder View"

    Was this ever implemented as a GUI option on a per user basis? It would be nice.

    802.1X Auth in proxmox (linux networking)

    Hi all, I have been trying to implement 802.1X auth on my Proxmox host via wpa_supplicant with EAP-TLS using certificates issued by this particular sites network team. However.... No matter what I try, or how many times I get a new set of certs, I am failing on auth due to an 'openssl wrong...

    7.0-11 & 7.1-4 Differing backup schedule options?

    Hi all, I have noticed that the backup scheduler options in 7.1-4 differ substantially from 7.0-11. Why is this and whats the correct method in 7.1-4 for a daily 00:00 run? Thanks 7.1-4: 7.0-11:

    KVM Windows VMs and losing network connectivity

    Its been a long time since I initially posted in this thread. The problem was caused by bad VirtIO drivers. Switching to the latest stable instead of the latest beta which I downloaded by mistake solved the issue. I have used the net-kvm VirtIO driver from the latest stable VirtIO package on...

    ZFS ARC 64GB Limit realistic performance impact?

    I am back. 2 nights ago we broke the cluster down 1 node at a time and rebuilt with ZFS RAID 10. Performance improvement is massive. I done some quick Fio testing and could acheive over 2200MB/s sequential. Random performance appeared to present between 90k and 250k IOPS depending on the type of...

    ZFS ARC 64GB Limit realistic performance impact?

    Ah I remember now. I think im going to bin these cluster nodes one at a time, rebuild with ZFS RAID 10, set a 32GB cache and re add to cluster. Almost forgot how much parity based RAID sucks.

    ZFS ARC 64GB Limit realistic performance impact?

    I’m using a RAID Z1 with default config. Which I understand is basically the same as a traditional RAID 5. Performance appears to be good. But then again I do have a massive 256GB max cache. Which ZFS option on the installer corresponds to which equivalent RAID layout? When using traditional...

    ZFS ARC 64GB Limit realistic performance impact?

    Really, 8GB max!?. I’m conscious here that best practice is to give ZFS as much RAM you can can…. I’ve used Ceph on other clusters. It works, but I don’t need the shared storage model here.

    ZFS ARC 64GB Limit realistic performance impact?

    Hi all, have just deployed a new 3 node cluster consisting of 3 dell boxes, each with two 14 core CPU’s, 512GB RAM and 10 SSD’s. I know out of the box ZFS ARC will consume upto half of the hosts memory so 256GB in my case. I also know that this memory is released to other processes when needed...

    Save/Export VM/CT backups from PBS to USB disk for offsite/offline backups

    So I have to wake this thread up as I am excited to use Proxmox Backup Server for the first time. (I am a long time user of Proxmox VE). Is there an easy way, like the OP asked, that I can copy a backup from a period in time, to a USB disk for DIRECT restoration on a PVE host? Or so I can mount...

    Replication to multiple nodes?

    Hi all, Can I create multiple replication jobs for a single guest to multiple nodes within my cluster? If so, what happens when the currently running node fails and the HA service starts the guest on the preferred node? Do ALL the replication jobs get reversed as well? Thanks

    Which VM display settings for max video performance in VDI?

    I am currently trialling the QXL display adapter with 128MB memory. UPDATE: The two VM's I set to use SPICE, went into a paused state an hour later. Why is that? UPDATE: Windows sleep settings, the QXL pack installs a version of the qemu guest agent which obviously exposes the power interface.

    Which VM display settings for max video performance in VDI?

    Hi all, Running a small VDI environment with a selection of Windows 10 VM's. These are all accessed via MS RDP. They don't do anything particularly video intensive but since this is a for a remote teaching environment, a couple of the VM's do use classroom control software that monitors the...
