    Prevent bind mount from being managed by Proxmox?

    That is what I am using currently and it does snapshot the bind mount unfortunately. Also, when I restore the rootfs it appears to clobber the exiting bind mount with a new one based on the definition in the lxc.conf. Avoiding backup is easy as that is a check box in the GUI or by omitting...

    Prevent bind mount from being managed by Proxmox?

    I have an LXC container where I want to decouple the rootfs and a bind mount. I want to be able to backup, restore, and snapshot the rootfs completely separate from the bind mount. The bind mount I will then manage separately. The reasons being * The bind mount is huge. Backups via PBS take...

    Mapping users for bind mount in unprivileged CT

    I figured with was more of a container issue as it was mapping. And indeed, chown 100034 worked a peach... though I will be waiting forever for .chunks to finish. Thanks!

    Mapping users for bind mount in unprivileged CT

    Ah, I think I understand better and perhaps a better option is to chown 100034.100034 the dataset on the host?

    Mapping users for bind mount in unprivileged CT

    I am trying to map a ZFS dataset into an LXC. The dataset is a PBS data set I am migrating from bare metal to LXC if that matters. I have read the docs here and there are a few assumptions that I am not understanding. In that article it talks about user ID 1005. Is that a real user? Like I...

    What are "reader" jobs and how can I control them?

    Aha! Yes, indeed. That explains it. Thank you!

    What are "reader" jobs and how can I control them?

    Strange. It ran a read job for every host that had a backup. There were no restores or the like happening at the time and it started at exactly 13:00... followed by many multiple read jobs - one per backed up host. See screen shots...

    What are "reader" jobs and how can I control them?

    My PBS server is a running a huge number of "reader" jobs. They started at 13:00 today and I don't really have any idea what they are. Verification jobs are run hours earlier and all jobs show as OK. Any ideas what these jobs are? Example: 2022-03-29T13:39:22-04:00: starting new backup reader...

    Change IP of cluster node

    Ok, I have this figured out and the result is largely why I started this thread - every procedure I have found is incomplete or has major assumptions that may not be obvious. So, future Googlers, here is the deal. Do this is in this order on the respective nodes. NODE = the node that is getting...

    Change IP of cluster node

    I tried again and this is what I am getting in the syslog on a node in the cluster: Mar 18 13:31:29 pve-firewall2 pmxcfs[924]: [dcdb] notice: wrote new corosync config '/etc/corosync/corosync.conf' (version = 28) Mar 18 13:31:29 pve-firewall2 corosync[1044]: [CFG ] Config reload requested...

    Change IP of cluster node

    So run 'pvecm expected 1' on the node with the new IP? It will then get its new corosync.conf from the main cluster? And when you say HA, are you meaning if shared storage is used for VM failover? In this case, I don't have shared storage.

    Change IP of cluster node

    I ended up reinstalling to get the node back so the logs were lost. Let me be super sure I understand the process as it sounds like it *should* be easy. 1. On the node to have a new IP - Edit /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts to reflect the new IP. /etc/hosts should ONLY have the new IP...

    Change IP of cluster node

    I have a situation where a "test" cluster moved to production out from under me and I need to get a few of the nodes proper IPs. I have a read a few threads here that seem to make it sound easy, but I am getting close to making a big mess. The one thread (this one) said to edit...

    PBS data stores show offline after changing root password

    Ok, so DatastorePowerUser Can backup, restore, and prune owned backups. refers to on disk permissions too? I understood that to mean permissions to literally click "prune" in the web console and not the on disk permissions. This makes more sense. Thanks!

    PBS data stores show offline after changing root password

    Aha, wonderful. As a side question, root seems like a bad idea. How does the user used for the connection map to permissions? It seems the ACLs in the web front end map to permissions within the web console only and the docs don’t explain it anywhere I can see. Therefore it seems an old school...

    Moving boot disk to new disks

    Apologies, I see how my wording was not clear. Yes, the rpool is ZFS. What I ended up doing that was much faster. 1. Put in new disk 2. sgdisk /dev/disk/by-id/existingdrive -R /dev/disk/by-id/newdrive 3. sgdisk -G /dev/disk/by-id/newdrive 4. zpool attach rpool /dev/disk/by-id/newdrive-part3...

    Moving boot disk to new disks

    I don’t know if it is worth the pain, thus the question. If it’s easy and works, then yes as it save me migrating a ton of VMs in this case. I’m not sure I follow the LVM mention. The boot disk is ZFS. I don’t believe ZFS and LVM have anything to do with each other unless you’re saying there is...

    PBS data stores show offline after changing root password

    As the title says, when I change the root password of the PBS server, all nodes lose access to the data store. When I open the datastore in the data center settings of PVE, the password seems to not be able to be changed. I am missing something as I don't understand how the root password is...

    Moving boot disk to new disks

    I installed PVE on a disk, its 120GB. I want to move the boot disk to (2) SSDs in a ZFS mirror that are 500GB. I'm wondering if this will work. Boot to live CD dd old boot disk to new boot disk Boot on new boot disk Add additional boot disk as mirror Will this work? Then, will the rest of the...
