Seek times between 8-20ms using 7200RPM SATA drives is fine and normal. If you really required a fast disk subsystem for an I/O-heavy workload you'd have to get some 10k RPM Raptors or use 15k RPM SAS or SCSI drives or use a SAN. To be honest if my 7200RPM disk mirror ever became consistently...

The way I do things I still need to do this rotation step to keep the old backup from last night or I run the risk of not having a backup at all. I don't use tapes, just rsync, so even if I dump direct to another server via NFS or SMB, the following could still happen to me during my backup...

Looks good, but of course the real test will be how quick your vzdump goes. 2.3MB/s is awful, even my simple little 2x 7200RPM 500GB SATA drive mirror with the performance of a single 7200RPM drive gets about 7-17MB/sec.

You are/were using cfq, it was indicating that by surrounding it with square brackets. No, you don't have to restart, the change takes immediate effect. Your I/O scheduler is changed to deadline as soon as you do that echo command. If it works out for you and you'd like to make it permanent...

First, try a larger snapshot size for /etc/vzdump.conf size: 3072Second, what are you using for your I/O scheduler? I bet you're using the default one which performs incredibly poorly for me. See which scheduler you're currently using: cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler Try deadline, it works...

I have a simple feature request for vzdump. Since it has evolved into more of a full backup script and not just a command to be integrated into a custom backup script... The only thing it doesn't do for for me that my backup script used to is multiple rotated backups for safety's sake. When I...

Great work, guys. My nice 8-core server is so much more useful due to your software. I just created a CentOS 5 VZ container and installed coldfusion in it for a client who uses that junk. It went nice and smooth after I performed the (also very smooth) update from 0.9b2 to 1.0.

Nice, thanks for that. I had never heard of it before but it looks really slick and you make it so easy to install it and play around with it.

I think you're looking at the right place and you'll be needing a bridged interface. The venet interface shows up in the guest container as a point-to-point interface with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 which will not work for nmbd which needs to broadcast. Sorry I can't really help with getting...

Nice, do you expect this will work generically for other non-disk devices that Linux doesn't recognize? For example, if someone had a piece of Windows software that required a stupid USB dongle for copy protection, could I use this to bring that USB dongle into the Windows KVM?

vzctl set 100 --quotaugidlimit 500

It'll work for OpenVZ containers, but not KVM bridged networking. OpenVZ containers using venet use the same MAC address as the NIC so no problems there, but KVM bridged networking bridged to an 802.11 client wont work unless you've got special WDS support at station and AP because that is a...

Not really a bad price. It takes someone's time to sit there and do that stuff! Glad I could help.

When you register a domain and specify the nameservers for the domain, you need those nameservers to respond authoritatively. I do that by having the domains setup on the FreeBSD DNS servers as slave zones. They do zone transfers off the Plesk server and receive notifies from the Plesk server...

Proxmox VE provides OpenVZ Linux or KVM-based virtual machines in a very nice convenient, tested and stable manner. They provide a great web interface to manage the OpenVZ and KVM containers and they release kernels and userland utilities for OpenVZ and KVM that they've extensively tested for...

Well, whatever datacenter or Internet connectivity you've got, I assume you already have existing DNS servers you use to resolve DNS names on The Internet? You can use these existing DNS servers for all of your VPSes, or you can install BIND (or your preferred DNS software) in one or two of the...

You can attach the new server installed with Proxmox VE to its own subnet with its own /28 on it and let the customer assign those IPs to their VPSes any way they want. One VPS with 10 IPs, 6 VPSes with 2 IPs each, whatever you and they prefer to do. You can assign multiple IP addresses to an...

You are correct, removing "bootdisk: ide0" from the config file has allowed me to use the beta2 qemu-server with that Windows2000 KVM.

I just had a hardware RAID mirror's bad disk overwrite a good disk about 2 weeks back... I really wished I had ZFS on that box instead of the hardware RAID. I use ZFS almost everywhere under FreeBSD and Solaris now and I am very happy with it: performance, ease of use and convenience later on...

Yes, that is correct. That's how I am using it now.
