    Applying pve-qemu-kvm 10.2.1-1 may cause extremely high “I/O Delay” and extremely high “I/O pressure stalls”. (Patches in the test repository

    Interesting. Here is mine for comparison. No zfs on this box all lvmthin. can find one if more results desired. Initial findings after reinstalling pve-qemu-kvm 10.2.1-1, uplift of all Windows VMs to pc-q35-10.2 and flipping aio=threads on all disks. Proper shutdown and restart conducted of all...

    Network hickups during backup

    I moved some VMs to another freshly setup host and could remove the USB network adapter. With these actions, the memory usage dropped to around 50%, kernel logs during backup, see below. But the VM connectivity issues are still there. Mar 27 00:05:05 proxmox4 kernel: usb 2-7: reset SuperSpeed...

    Network hickups during backup

    ...I run Gatus to monitor them and the times of outage is not the same for all VMs. Also the host does not become unreachable. Memory usage is pretty high: 87.23% (54.24 GiB of 62.18 GiB) is in use. I lowered this a little to check if this makes the situation better. Thx for you insights.

    How can I fix MACOS ram usage is too high?

    ...run into this. I think this happens because macOS doesn't have a balloon driver. I ran into the same thing where OS X always shows 100% memory usage. In my adventures with OS X on prox mox I ended up writing my own guest agent and as a result accidentally fixed this issue (at least it's...

    Ceph - VM with high IO wait

    First, some context on why this matters even for a single-DC setup. Without `rbd_read_from_replica_policy = localize`, every read goes to the primary OSD regardless of where it lives — even if a replica of that object sits on the same hypervisor node as the VM. The network round-trip is always...

    Network hickups during backup

    Fleecing on or off does not make a difference. There is no PBS instance involved. Storage is single NVME (2TB KIOXIA XG8 Series) with LVM volume. Graphs below definately show the issues, mouse cursor is at start of backup job. Memory usage is also pretty high: 87.23% (54.24 GiB of 62.18 GiB)

    Troubleshooting host-side virtio-gpu/virgl not using host GPU

    Host is using software rendering, not using host-owned GPU for vm guests configured with virtio-gpu/gl. This might be just a normal graphics driver issue, but I've exhausted my minimal knowledge on the subject and from all the net searching, I have the impression that basic virtio-gpu/virgl...

    Proxmox-backup-client (3.4.6): "unclosed encoder dropped" / "upload failed" during pxar backup (Following #170211 patches)

    ...meant with the error message lacking context. This is not intentional needs improvement. Not from the top of my head, but you could check the max memory usage when running the client with the limit set, running into the limit. this will at least give you an estimate of what doubling might imply.

    Debian 13 guests freezing on reboot

    Hmm, interesting point. I hadn't noticed that pattern and don't reboot my guests often, which is why I haven't responded to provide logs yet. I'll have to keep an eye on this... the node where I run the most guests is usually above 80% memory usage.

    Should I set CT Swap to 0 to prevent PVE host crashes during high memory usage?

    Thanks for your input! That's a valid point regarding the total LXC swap usage versus the available swap on the host. I'm still not entirely sure if that's the primary cause in my case, so I'll keep investigating other possibilities as well and see how it goes. Appreciate the advice!
