    Migrating linked clones - does that go well?

    Got it. Just created a qcow2 image from scratch; can confirm that 'VM ID prefix' is always there, so not specific to my case. Thanks @bbgeek17!

    Migrating linked clones - does that go well?

    Hi @bbgeek17, I was moreso referring to the VM ID as prefix (`105/`). ZFS to local is just for testing purposes. Real migration will be Ceph to Ceph. Regarding the linked-clone-ness: I'm completely fine with VM disks being converted to full clones. In fact, it has my preference; creating...

    Migrating linked clones - does that go well?

    I'm migrating some VMs to different storage. Some of those VMs are linked clones, the parent of which would still be on the old storage. Should this go well? I tried this in a lab environment, and it looks like the linked clone is converted to a full clone (?), although the disk name format...

    Cloud-init `instance_id` changes on migration to different hypervisor

    Pretty sure I just found the deviation in `resolv.conf` that causes the hash to change. That was a very useful hint, thanks. What throws me off is that SSH host keys aren't re-generated every time this happens, while the `ssh` module runs with `once-per-instance` frequency. I'll think a bit...

    Cloud-init `instance_id` changes on migration to different hypervisor

    Hi @bbgeek17, Thanks for your reply. Your comment on `/etc/resolv.conf` is actually a very good one - I found that five nodes in the cluster have a deviating one. To see if that's an issue, I migrated the VM - that I could reproduce the issue on consistently, with every migration - to a...

    Cloud-init `instance_id` changes on migration to different hypervisor

    Hi, For some time now, we've been having an issue where Cloud-init re-runs on VMs that have already been operating for months or years. By 'run', I mean that first-boot-only stages run again, such as upgrading packages. This is obviously very problematic in production, as an 'innocent' reboot...

    Can you be more specific about the issues/doubts you're facing?

    Prevent re-injection into Postfix

    Hi, We use postfwd2, which ratelimits stuff based on the amount of RCPTs. I noticed that postfwd2 counts messages twice, because each one has RCPTs: the original message, and the one relayed to pmg-smtp-filter and then re-injected (using `content_filter`). Here's someone else with a similar...

    Correlate relayed mail after the fact

    Hi, This question is only slightly PMG-related. I am mostly looking for other users' input. I use PMG as a smarthost for several purposes, where email sent from a specific domain is sent by a specific system user. Using the mail tracking functionality, I can look up which email was sent from a...

    Mail to internal port is being SPF-filtered

    Hi, From the admin guide and forums, I gather that email sent to the internal port should not be SPF-filtered. It makes no sense to do so for relayed mail, where PMG is a smarthost. However, this mail is being filtered: it's rejected because of the KAM_DMARC_REJECT SpamAssassin rule (6 points...

    VM is not stopped after 'Shutdown timeout'

    I did not read the documentation correctly! Thank you.

    VM is not stopped after 'Shutdown timeout'

    https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-qm.html says: The `qmshutdown` task is ended after 'Shutdown timeout' (as the VM did not respond to the ACPI signal). However, unlike the documentation says, the VM is not force stopped. It still has the state `running`. The task log is attached...

    Backups caused RBD images to become read-only, and single node in cluster unable to mount RBD images after RBD images were read-only

    On a 12-node cluster, due to a backup issue, several CT's RBD images became read-only. Issue: backups caused RBD images to become read-only On all nodes, a backup job ran at the time of the issue. The backup jobs on two nodes (`g04s01` and `g04s07`) failed. On `g04s07`, the following was...
