Finally got this done. I created a directory on an external zpool (/bpool/pveback) Then wrote a script that removes any existing /bpool/pveback/pve and then copies /etc/pve to /bpool/pveback/pve This runs once a day on a cron schedule. Works great.

Hi Wolfgang, Thank you for the reply. Would it be possible in the ZFS section of the gui to list pve-zsync snapshots? That would be a handy way to rollback from the GUI at least. Thanks, Daniel

Congratulations, it looks very impressive! Couple of questions. 1. Does the GUI interface for Snapshots recognize snapshots being created by the pve-zsync utility? Right now if I create a snapshot vie the GUI it can't be used to restore, if it is older then any snapshot created by pve-zsync...

Bump!!

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, this will also reduce the disk space requirement on the receiving pool? Thanks, Daniel

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks for the reply. Just to confirm, this will reduce the disk space requirement on the receiving pool as well? Thanks, Daniel

Hello, I've been using zsync to backup my VM's, it works great. However I'm running out of disk space on the receiving pool. I think it's because of my setup. Here's an overview I'm creating 4 zsync tasks per VM. # VM105 Sync */15 * * * * root pve-zsync sync --source 105 --dest...

Ok, I've got a clone made of a snapshot. I can use fdisk to see the partitions. I'm trying to mount the second partition, but I'm getting errors. Here are the commands and errors. root@proxmox:/mnt# fdisk -l /dev/zvol/dpool/vmdata/vm-150-disk-1-clone Disk...

Your answers are very much appreciated, including correcting for proper terminology! :-)

Thank you Guletz for that answer. I have one more question. You say to use fdisk to see the partitions, will this work with an LVM managed disk? Separately will fdisk recognize partitions with NTFS? And thus allow mount to mount an NTFS partition? Thank you again for your help! Daniel

I've read on some other sites, that you need to clone snapshots of ZVol's to mount them. Could this be the reason for my error message above... unable to fetch ZFS version for filesystem 'dpool/vmdata/vm-150-disk-1@rep_150-15min_2017-12-21_10:34:18'

Here's the status of the pool zpool status bpool pool: bpool state: ONLINE scan: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM bpool ONLINE 0 0 0 mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0...

Hi Guletz, Thank you for the response. These aren't zvols, they are raw disk images. I do see the snapshots with the zfs list command. But I can't use the mount command, it says it's unable to fetch. For example mount -t zfs dpool/vmdata/vm-150-disk-1@rep_150-15min_2017-12-21_10:34:18...

I'm working on mounting snapshots myself. I've been following the above suggestions, but I can never seem to find the snapshot. It's not listed in the .zfs folder nor does using snapdir=visible show it. The snapshots directory is totally empty. These snapshots are being created by pve-zsync...

Thanks for the feedback Dietmar. Thanks for the tip Udo, but my backup pool is attached to my node. I'm going to guess that I can create a filesystem on that pool and just do a file copy into it. I'll share my results here.

Even if we installed Proxmox with a zfs rpool? It can't reach into directory?

Hello, I'm curious on people's thoughts on doing a pve-zsync to storage pool (NOT another node) of the /etc/pve directory? I'm thinking this could be done for disaster recovery purposes, such as having to recreate a node from scratch. Is it a good or bad idea? Thanks, Daniel

Update. The CD-ROM searching issue was a bad flash drive. With a new flash drive Proxmox installed successfully. Hopefully I can use APT to update the microcode, but have not tried that yet.

Hello, I'm installing 5.1 on a Supermicro X10DRH, with a thumb drive. Once I select install Proxmox I get the following error. [0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE Disabled due to Errata; Please update microcode to version: 0xb000020 (or later). It then continues to load drivers, and then...

Thank you for that detailed explanation!
