Occasionally, usually every 2-3 days (I have nightly backups setup), my lxc containers freeze and 'pct unlock' won't unlock them and I have to reboot the nodes. This appears to be a common problem with lxc (I wish I would have stayed with openvz). Is there any solution to this? I'm backing...

I installed 4.1 and have issues with my LXC containers taking 5+ minutes to boot and also with them randomly freezing during backups (ssh and mysql connect but time out and the container has to be reset). I also want /proc/cpuinfo to show the correct CPUs and I want dmesg to only show logs for...

I found out the delay for "Stopping Populate /dev filesystem" was caused by libpam-systemd:amd64, I removed that package and when rebooting it flies past "Stopping Populate /dev/ filesystem" then stalls out at "Starting Bridge file events into upstart".

Thanks for the response, attached is the log

Appears to be apparmor related?

My LXC containers are taking 4+ minutes to boot. The console log shows things are booting fast then it stalls out at "Stopping populate /dev filesystem" for 3-4 minutes. ssh connections are refused until this finishes. Any suggestions? * Stopping flush early job output to logs...

Now I'm confused, so if i use 2 x 2TB drives + ZFS for the root file system I can't use snapshots? What happens if one of the 2TB drives dies? Will things 'just work' or do I have to boot into rescue and fix things manually?

Thanks, I can add another 16GB of memory to the server. I like the features of zfs so I'd prefer to use it. Would it be unreasonable to partition the 160GB drive and use some of it zil / l2arch and the other for a VM? What would you recommend for a zil / l2arch sizes with 32gb of ddr4 memory...

Thank you, one last question...would you recommend hardware raid with 2 x 2TB drives with no zfs caching or 2 x 2TB drives with a 160GB SSD for zfs cache? I've not used zfs before but I can follow instructions. There would be around 8 VM's (1 db server with moderate i/o, 6 general servers with...

If I have 2TB drives and 1 x 160GB SSD for caching would that be supported by the default installer or would it be 'better' to install onto a raid-1 setup and then setup zfs pools for the hhd + ssd cache for storage? Thanks

Do I have to use the entire disk (680gb) for slog, or can I partition it? What can I use the other partition for? What size would you recommend for the slog partition?

I'm looking at a dedicated server that includes a 32GB of ram, 2TB SATA and a 680GB SSD drive. Besides the obvious lack of redundancy, if I setup ZFS with the primary boot / storage for the 2TB drive and using some of the SSD for zfs cache would I expect to receive a decent amount of fsync's...

Would be it faster to have 2 x 1TB HDD and 1 x 160gb Intel SSD as cache? Does the stock installer support this type of setup? I may not run containers and may just use kvm VM's for live snapshots with zfs

Ugh, I wasn't aware I would lose live backups. I don't want to suspend my containers for backup. I guess back to hardware raid...

I want to try ZFS. Would I be better off with 2 x 160GB SSD for the boot / VM store (the vm's are small), or 2 x 250GB SATA with 1 x 160gb SSD w/ zfs for caching? I plan to run 5 openvz and 2 KVM servers. The server will be a E3-1230v3 with 32GB of ram. Thanks!

I have four nodes, each has 73GB for / (and currently /var/lib/vz). On a couple nodes I have additional storage that I want to use and make that the default location for those nodes. Is there a proper way to do this, or should I mount the new directories to /var/lib/vz? If I do that, how...

I ended up reinstalling the main cluster node hoping to fix this mess. I followed the instructions to activate unicast from the WIKi and then I tried to add the nodes. I ran into authenication already exists and unable to copy ssh id (with -force) and was finally able to remove the old ssh...

I'm struggling with a 4 node setup with Proxmox 2.3. My Dell switch does not support multicast, so I setup unicast. *some* nodes can see each other, but most can't. I am totally out of ideas, short of formatting and reinstalling (which would suck, this server is colocated so I'd have to do...

I haven't touched my proxmox server in about a month. I upgraded to the latest stable version and spun up a (new) container. I noticed that I had no network connectivity and so I thought it was a networking issue with one of my public IPs. I came back later and it started moving packets...
