    Advice on VM backup, VE reinstall and VM restore

    ...USB drive I used. I've since tried to move the PVE VG to another HDD but in so doing Ive run into some issues around using LVM Thin. (Can't shrink it). Maybe there is a way around that but I'd be happier not using that storage method. But I think I'll have to reinstall the PVE to...

    Install Win 11 Pro and Home Assistant

    ...Win11 VM's virtual disk itself will require 1TB. I personally don't use disk2vhd, but use dd as an image (option 3 above). What I do is to shrink down that image before I start. It takes some effort & is complicated but is possible (sometimes!). You could probably do this with the disk2vhd...

    [TUTORIAL] FabU: can I use Ceph in a _very_ small cluster?

    ...While Ceph worked fine its performance (with dedicated but sub-minimum 2.5 GBit/s = simply slow) was not great. And crazy prices for energy made me to want to shrink down the number of Nodes running 24*7. Removing nodes would cripple Ceph earlier or later, so I decided to remove it completely.

    OS/2 Warp 4.52 - Boot problem with a fun project

    No idea, but... I would shrink down the RAM drastically. On my "Warp Version 3" box I can read "requires 4MB". Remember: the software must be able to handle that large address range; I would start far below 100MiB... Good luck!

    [SOLVED] Official way to backup proxmox VE itself?

    How could you dd to the smaller disk? Have you used sgdisk -R=/dev/target /dev/source to replicate the GPT before executing the dd command? I'd like to see the steps for that. In theory, what you described should not work as dd cannot manage to replicate the table that would be at the end of the...

    ZFS ARC in memory usage graph.

    The ARC should shrink, if other processes need the memory, yes. But, afaik, the shrinking could often start too late respectively be too slow, which might lead to oom situations. For reference: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4829

    Need to reduce size of disk

    ...yet, so the data is still not changed. The attached screenshot shows that. The Installed OS is Ubuntu Server Pro, so Linux. I can rebuild from scratch if I had to, but I would really like to avoid that if I could just shrink the disk since the partition on the disk have not yet been touched.

    [SOLVED] Official way to backup proxmox VE itself?

    ...However when I tried to resize the lv filesystem size it doesn't work, seems the empty lv space have been pre-allocated. Probably I should shrink the partition and filesystem first, then do a dd (if dd method is still the way to go) p.s. found this one should be helpful...
