    Hi Pascal.ch, I'm not fluent in ZFS, so other members will have to chime in for support on that. How fluent are you in Linux? What you could do for a small improvement, is check the amount taken by /var/log and /var/cache: # du -hs...

    Hi fabian, Thanks for mentioning! I updated the ticket with my observation that the running log is available from the PBS-side.

    ohhhh, ok didn't understand that. I actually see the "required for self signed certificates" after clearing the fingerprint. Well that's easy enough then thank you.
  • W
    Hi whatishappening, I ran into that as well after configuring LE. The fingerprint is mandatory when lacking 'real' certificates. Once your nodes have LE certs, you can leave the fingerprint empty.

    As for the stray 104-image of 11 GB in /var/lib/vz/images/104: I'm not allowed to delete it, as container 104 exists. It was not my intention for 104 to use it, and the config seems to back me up: # pct config 104 arch: amd64 cores: 3 cpuunits...

    As a pointer for the next person facing this issue: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs-8/pct.1.html#_restoring_container_backups details: Create volumes for storage backed mount points on the storage provided with the storage parameter...

    Hi news, Thanks for the pointer. The thread discusses whether the configured tempdir is used or not, and that it is corrected by upgrading to the next minor version (all PVE 6, I'm halfway migrating from 8 to 9), with the case that resembles my...

    Hi news, Thank you for your reaction! The hardware I listed is PBS (1 GBit copper) , so ballpark about half the performance of your unit. I just found the culprit: besides creating an LV for the container to live in in the assigned storage...

    Hi all, Over an hour and a half ago I started a restore task of a 400 GB container backup. Up to now, restores have been of VMs and containers in the lower tens of GB range, which would ramble for a while and then complete. This one just...

    That's a worthy cause! Yes, indeed, BTRFS is the file system. Other popular options would have been ZFS, XFS or ext4. Is this the situation: Proxmox: hostname = mediaserver one harddisk default Proxmox installation with LVM guest: hostname...

    You can edit the kernel args during boot: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/3dbd7e0ddaf47c5539708a9cbcaab9e3#temporary-kernel-arguments I'm curious what they are at the moment.

    I'd boot a live distro and see whether the pool can be brought up using regular methods, before staying stuck trying it from initramfs. I presume you don't have an alternative (older) kernel to boot from where the boot configuration is not...

    wbk replied to the thread [SOLVED] Get my VM back.
    Great that you solved it, thanks for posting back the cause of the issue and updating the thread!

    Mostly things are fine, though a bit on the slower side, with HDDs. Migration to faster aggregated storage is the reason for the exercise in the first place. Unfortunately, I woke up to a failed backup, and running fsck gives quite a few...

    I never tested this with a volume this large or with HDDs. The daemon that updates the GUI's status and graphs doesn't handle slow/missing storage that well and can get stuck. I don't know for sure why it would take so long. All I can think of...

    Wohoo! The shrink-operation (crosspost for details) has completed, stats are returning, backup is running, and I'm winding down.
  • W
    Solved! "DELLE", as I recall the solution is called in German :p After waiting for half a day and then fretting for hours. With help of an AI, I got some idea of the state of the process, but things were not actually moving a lot. Until they...

    wbk reacted to digamman's post in the thread [SOLVED] Get my VM back with Like Like.
    Because nothing was accesible on the server, it boots and screen goes black when arriving at login page (no signal) similar to this case but no gpu from my side only intel igpu...

    That indeed.... The screenshot shows lilliputter lettersoup without zooming, or no more than six 3 cm lettes when zooming in, I was not able to read anything on it :p For me too, good night!

    Hi Boerny41, Would it be an option to netboot.xyz or a USB stick to boot a live distro and write a new GRUB? Take care of course to include ZFS if it does not come with the booted distro.
