    Proxmox Backup Server 4.0 released!

    Thanks, it's good to know. Like I said, it's never done that with my bare metal server, and to see it now all of a sudden not be the 'norm' I believe was still worth mentioning. That's a significant change from 'what it was' to 'what it's supposed to do', when it should have been doing that...

    Proxmox Backup Server 4.0 released!

    @Amodin , This does not result in performance issues for other processes. ZFS takes 95% of unused RAM. If your system needs that RAM for anything else, the ARC cache will shrink so your system can do other things.

    Missing disk space on SSD

    ...test node, which I'm not running at the moment, but hopefully I will in future and I think it will need all of that 32GB, so I don't want to shrink that disk. Could I even expand the vm-202 disk without first shrinking the vm-204 disk? If I did, what would happen when the vm-204 machine wants...

    Missing disk space on SSD

    ...512 I don't think I can resize the root disk for this CT when there's no free space on the drive. Even if it were able to automatically shrink pve-backup to free up some space, I can't really afford to shrink that as it's 75% full and I need to leave some headroom for the backups. If the...

    Missing disk space on SSD

    ...I just wanted to mention that your sda3 PV has no unallocated space. This is pretty dangerous and not the default. If your thin pol ever gets to 100% you cannot really easily save yourself. Unfortunately I can't think of a good way to fix this without re-creating it as you can't shrink a thin...

    Missing disk space on SSD

    ...in the guest. I was looking at this because I need 10GB free on the PBS root to update it to v4 and I only have 5GB free, so I'll have to see if I can shrink the other two CTs to free up 5GB. I guess I could move the backup store to the USB SSD but I'm not sure if that would cause any issues.

    Decrease size of VM hard disk

    Hi, I want to shrink my vm disk (I have already shrunk the file system inside. So that's fine). Above, there is a howto for ZFS but my VMs reside in CEPH. What is the right approach here? Thanks!

    ...that’s preventing the operation from completing. I’d appreciate your help in reviewing this issue. My objective is to replicate the VMs, but the disk move fails with an error I can’t bypass. I’m trying to determine whether I should: - Copy only the necessary data - Shrink the disk before...

    Request for Assistance: Shrinking Attached VM Disk Storage

    Please don't quote the complete message you're replying to. Mine is already above yours. It looks like you don't even need to shrink anything inside the VM because the 5T~ disk only contains about 300G~ of partitions. We can just power off the VM and shrink the 5T virtual disk to 500G or so and...

    I am currently working on a project where I need to change the storage from the existing 5 TiB to an SSD. However, I am facing some issues with the transition, particularly because I only have 1 TiB available, and i want transferring data from my 5 TiB HDD. The total amount of data that needs to...

    Request for Assistance: Shrinking Attached VM Disk Storage

    ...set up there's few disadvantages of having a oversized disk. To avoid data loss you should create a backup and perhaps a snapshot first. Shrinking file systems or virtual disks is risky. I usually recommend booting the gparted iso to shrink the file system as you often have to move space...

    Newbie question on RAM overprovisioning (8VMs - 64 GB RAM)

    Understood. Did you try to use zramswap to get out more of your existing ram? https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Zram#Alternative_Setup_using_zram-tools It's not optimal but at least should help you to utilice the existing resources better. Personally I would try to get the needed budget to do a RAM...

    Is the new ARC limit a waste of empty RAM for most users?

    The issue is that it doesn't appear to shrink fast enough to avoid OOM issues. AFAIK it still doesn't work well with ballooning either.

    Home Assistant and Proxmox

    Hello guys, Yesterday, I made a huge mistake in my Proxmox. I resize the disk of a vm that hosts home assistant. After I change the size, I noticed that the size is more than the whole disk space and it used all of it. I wanted to add 18GB, but actually I added 18TB. Now, I cannot move the...
