    Latest kernel update, not doesn't load correctly

    Well.., without more details it is difficult to say something. There should be a boot menu before that message. There should be a "boot previous kernel" option. Please post more details...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox refusing to ping to any network.

    Are you sure that nic0 is the correct network interface and it is actually connected? It is listed as "state UNKNOWN" in the last screenshot. If you actually have three NICs just try the other two. You need to get "state UP" for both the bridge and the corresponding NIC. After editing...

    setting up my pfsense router

    Yes, OpnSense/pfSense are complex beasts. Just look at the loooong feature list! Compared with that Wireguard is really, really easy - as it does one single job, and it does it right! My preferred method is to handcraft something like https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/. This requires one...

    setting up my pfsense router

    The full setup needs some complexity, to be useful - right? To examine routers and network problems you may setup a virtual playground. When I wanted to play with Ceph I took one beefy PVE node and created six virtual PVE nodes, created a cluster, prepared several virtual disks for Ceph...

    3 node proxmox link failure, reboots node even when second link is up

    You can see the status of both "rings" this way: ~# corosync-cfgtool -s Local node ID 6, transport knet LINK ID 0 udp addr = 10.3.16.7 status: nodeid: 1: disconnected nodeid: 2: connected nodeid...

    ArchLinux not found in LXC template

    That's not an arch-specific "problem". While the download page lists debian 10/11/12/13 only 12+13 are integrated in the PVE 9.x offerings. So my personal understanding is that only compatible and tested distribution templates are actually offered in each release. Disclaimer: I run VMs, not...

    Script de sincronización bidireccional controlada para Proxmox VE (pve-zsync)

    Please try to translate your post into English and post that as a reply...

    Migrating PVE install from flash to NVMe

    Did you test that? I know that you know that pve is a fuse-mounted database; a snapshot of the "/"-filesystem is... empty: ~# ls -Al /.zfs/snapshot/manual/etc/ | grep pve; echo "inside pve:"; ls -Al /.zfs/snapshot/manual/etc/pve/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2 Aug 26 2023 pve inside pve...

    Per-node resource allocation view in PDM / Proxmox cluster

    I cannot answer your question, sorry. I just want to mention this project: https://github.com/credativ/ProxLB From my limited(!) point of view PDM is meant to be helpful when managing multiple and independent clusters (or multiple single hosts).

    [PVE 9/ZFS-Based VM/LXC Storage] Why Shouldn't I Disable Swap Inside Linux VMs?

    Correct. That's the reason I didn't test it myself, yet. Please do not hesitate to tell us you findings :-) Fortunately my professional cluster has more physical Ram than it needs. And for my homelab I bought some MiniPC with 128 GiB Ram just before the current craziness emerged. Now for...

    new drive setup, considering RAIDZ1

    This gives the IOPS of a single spindle. Recommended is to use (two) mirrors --> double IOPS for writing data and four times the IOPS for reading data. And... for rotating rust I highly recommend to add two fast - but small - SSD/NVMe as a so called "Special Device". It really speeds things up...

    IBM Plugin

    Is there some documentation for that plugin? It should show details about the supported protocols and features, right?

    [PVE 9/ZFS-Based VM/LXC Storage] Why Shouldn't I Disable Swap Inside Linux VMs?

    Did we mention this (much newer) article in the other threads? https://chrisdown.name/2026/03/24/zswap-vs-zram-when-to-use-what.html I must admit that I haven't had zswap on my agenda at all. I read the article twice - and did not understand it completely... :-(

    What are these default root crontabs and what do they do?

    Note that there may be additional systemd-timers, which are not visible in the classic crontab context. Run systemctl list-timers -a instead. You also did not mention user-specific crontabs, editable by everybody by crontab -e - including one for the "root"-user.

    [SOLVED] Zfs boot disk replacing

    Well..., I hesitate to answer - because none of my machines has "booted with legacy bios", all of them report "booted with uefi".
