Hi,When I do a snapshot backup of a KVM whose disk is on LVM, does it only backup the portion of the disk in its state at the point of when the snapshot starts? For example, if I start the backup before starting to compile an app, does it include all the partial disk writes that occur after I...

Well, it may be a less-than-ideal setup, but I did get an email reporting that the job had finished successfully. Being that it's the only way I can make use of the disk space I have available, I'll keep with it. I'll just have to deal with the service dropouts while it runs. If I were to do it...

Backup storage is FreeNAS zfs w/ highest compression & dedup on, in a Virtualbox sparse allocated default hdd. VM 100 is a firewall/gateway & it keeps dropping the internet connection, perhaps affecting the NFS share's availability (my guess- I dunno). PVE aptitude upgrade is current.

I want to use it for vzdumps, so I/O isn't a concern as long as it's not so bad that the jobs fail.

I'd like to add a 2TB RAW disk image via NFS or iSCSI for approximately $40/month US. Googling results come up with the cheapest I can find being $80/month at Softlayer: http://www.softlayer.com/file-storage I'm here to see if any PVE users know of a better option. Thanks, -J

Oh, ok- then don't worry about it. Bounty cancelled.

I've customized my linux-4.0.4 kernel for use with a KVM guest w/ virtio & VMWare display. The .conf is here: http://pastebin.com/JNdZ8VnN I'm posting it here in hopes that someone w/ more experience w/ configuring kernels could edit the .conf file as I have it configured such that it's more...

Before I opted for the non-free HaneWin NFS server, I did try that cygwin method. I don't remember exactly how, but it failed to work properly, or maybe it didn't install right- either way it didn't work. I guess I'll just settle for .raw disk images for now. Thanks nevertheless for your input.

That would be ideal, but I don't think it's an option for my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate). When I open nfsmgmt.msc, it looks like there's only a client available. See screenshot.

Sweet, thanks!

I want to give eth0.1 its own internal bridge so I can give a KVM guest eth1 to access eth0.1. What I tried already broke networking completely & I had to fix it w/ a Live CD- all that will remain unsaid... (I should've known it wouldn't work) I'd like to run my next idea past the community...

I have an NFS share from a Windows box on my PVE box, currently with backups & iso's. Today I tried to add an export to add virtual disk functionality over NFS. I can create RAW disks fine, but if I try to create a .qcow, it times out each & every time, no matter what I do. The network isn't...

Hi, I discovered lately that changing all the VM disks to 'writeback' has decreased the IOWait by orders of magnatude. Just an FYI for everyone who might be dealing with IOWait. -J

I just think it would be nice to be able to see how KSM is doing with a graph rather than watching a number.

Tonight I enabled TFA according to the instructions on the wiki, & got myself locked out. I was eventually able to utilize it properly by creating the user.cfg file as detailed at the bottom of the wiki article, & rebooting via ssh. Just wanted to document it here in case anyone else has the...

Hi, I've followed the instructions on the Wiki to gain access to my VM via TigerVNC, & it works properly from Windows 7. Now I'd like to configure the client to automatically connect to the console when I launch it from a shortcut. First I tried saving the connection from the TigerVNC client...

Hi, I have s3fs-fuse running on my PVE host, but it fails to mount when configured from a standard startup script in /etc/init.d because the host doesn't have internet access until a Multi-WAN gateway KVM launches & initializes. I'm looking for a way to script the mounting of the S3 bucket to...

Re: How to give PVE server internet access while doing IP address passthrough I figured out that I had omitted a gateway on the bridge providing the IP address the PVE host was using as defined in /etc/hosts. So now PVE has access to the net via the Multi-WAN VM providing internet for the rest...

I finally got the second configuration, without NAT, to work. I had omitted a gateway for the LAN address PVE was using as defined in /etc/hosts. Gave a gateway through the Multi-WAN VM & now PVE has internet, & the Multi-WAN VM can keep the public IP addresses.
