Ah good point, could switch to SMB to stay unprivileged. Data would stay all on host on a virtual bridge so wouldn't think the networking would be a huge deal. Hmm might have to test that.

Dang since 2021 eh? Guess this isn't getting implemented any time soon. What other options do I have. I've read I could move the large data set out of a VM and into an LXC container and share it via NFS share so that I can use pxar for change tracking which (if I understand correctly) would...

Is there an alternative way to configure backups that I'm unaware of? I have one very large data set at just over 9TB even with a 10 gig direct connection between PVE and PBS this takes AGES due to disk IO constraints then you have to wait on verification jobs, it takes days. Now throw in the...

I'm glad it helped, really had me stumped for a bit.

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.

I use a Let' s Encrypt cert on both my PVE and PBS servers. This morning I woke up to a bunch of email alerts of failed backups and datastore connection failures. After some messing about I found that the cert on my PBS server had renewed so the fingerprints no longer matched. Was an easy fix...

Thinking maybe backup with Clonezilla setup new disks and raid, then clonezilla restore to new disks?

Currently have proxmox running as a single node on a Dell R730xd. I use the rear 2.5" drive bays above the PSUs for my OS disks. They are setup as a RAID 1 using the onboard RAID controller. I'm using spinning disks and they live right at their temp limit in those slots. I'm worried about...

I've been using vlans for a long time in Proxmox. I've always created a single bridge per physical nic on the host, made it vlan aware and then just tagged each virtual nic on the vm/ct. However I recently read somewhere (that I can't seem to dig out), where it mentioned setting up a bridge...

OK the solution is way easier than I thought. Just power down, delete EFI disk, recreate it with pre-enrolled keys checked, then boot the VM. Finally found this in the manual under "10.2.11. BIOS and UEF" section.

These look like guides for adding a TPM, I have a TPM attached to the VM already that part seemed to work, but secure boot isn't enabled.

Probably not, this VM is very old at this point and I didn't anticipate the need for secure boot and a TPM at the time of creation. Do you have an information or a guide on manual enrolling of keys? Any downside to doing it in this way?

I don't know what caused some of the service issues I had post migration, still fighting some of that..., however, I think I found why things felt slow notably the PVE UI. I mentioned swap was maxed out all the time, apparently by default swappiness is set to 60 of system ram, so set that to 10...

I'm trying to enable secure boot on a windows VM in preparation of the dreaded upgrade to Win11. However for some reason the option is greyed out in the VM bios (see screenshot). Not sure why or what needs to be changed. Config below if that helps. agent: 1 args: -cpu...
