    Slow restore from backups - two lzo processes thrashing restore drive?

    Well this is entirely reproducible. Copying these files from this drive gives me a drive read speed of 110MB/s (I use iostat for drive performance monitoring). Whatever is happening here is making the drive settle down at about 25.5MB/s. I've taken your advice and updated (using apt-get...

    Slow restore from backups - two lzo processes thrashing restore drive?

    Well the new backup/restore sounds good but unfortunately I'm implementing within the month I expect, which means the current platform. I'm running 2.2 with no kernel updates and its showing this strange double lzo behaviour. It's pretty obvious to me that something is wrong here as it should...

    Slow restore from backups - two lzo processes thrashing restore drive?

    I'm using the proxmox 2.2 release DVD, no updates - so this is a bug in this release somehow? Any other fixes other than using the 'test' kernel? Perhaps use something other than lzo? Also, can anything be done about the file names for backup? Including the server description (at least part) in...

    Slow restore from backups - two lzo processes thrashing restore drive?

    So, I'm running proxmox through its paces on a testbed with some test servers and I'm recovering backups from one server to another. I'm restoring from a 1TB disk (sata-connected) to a 1TB raid-1 array (raid controller). I expect to get 80-120MB/s out of both storage devices. What I'm seeing...

    Features/Questions coming from Vmware Server 2.0

    Win! Editing the file works great to add offline drives (assuming the vm is off at the time lol), I can even retain meaningful file names. I won't be using the add disk function due to this, I'd far perfer to have meaningful disk image file names than something nondescriptive in any case, this...

    Features/Questions coming from Vmware Server 2.0

    It accepts this command, but no effect. This will be quite a pain since I'll be migrating a bunch of images for testing :/ p.s. This is actually quite unfortunate because I can't give any of the files/drives meaningful names.

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm Hi Tom. So, I wiped my machine and started again - I guess the highpoint driver killed by mvsas module when I tried to install it - makes sense, so I can see that driver now. The strange thing here is, that...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm Tom, understand this card is not full hardware however I purchased it for testing - and certainly I have to point out not all highpoint cards are 'cheap'. My question about recompiling for new kernels was...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm Heck just being able to use the card and test that the web admin works well would be great :) So, you've got the rr272x_1x driver there (not GPL) - that's a highpoint driver, not the mvsas driver (should be...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm Hi Tom, thanks for the reply. It's the scsi->low level->mvsas module I'm after, the card is the Highpoint 2720 SAS/SATA controller. P.S. it's listed as the Marvell 88SE64XX/88SE94XX in the menuconfig (which...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm So, I've downloaded the kernel headers, done a make menuconfig to look at the config of the kernel and guess what? The kernel has options built in for mvsas, even there are folders created on a proxmox install...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Re: Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxm Thanks for the info - I'm looking at highpoint myself due to the web interface, I'm using it elsewhere and it's great. This looks like a good card but I'm not certain about spending $800 on a card with only...

    Hardware Recommendation / Raid controller with operational web interface on proxmox

    Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation here - I would have thought this is something a lot of people would be after given the requirement of proxmox to support hardware raid - a good hardware raid card 8 ports or more that runs on proxmox with a fully operational web interface.

    Features/Questions coming from Vmware Server 2.0

    A few questions/things I've noticed coming from Vmware Server 2.0 1) Vmware Server allowed hibernate to disk in the server. I notice proxmox has a suspend button, but this only seems to freeze the KVM host. Is it possible to send the host via ACPI, keyboard or otherwise a 'sleep' or...
