Hi there. I'm struggling for some time to find a best solution for me having some sort of self hosted storage/cloud mainly used for storing/uploading pics and other data from my smartphone. I tried NextCloud, yet I feel it pretty slow and clumsy (web gui both simple -thats good, and quite...

Worth thinking, not in my case though since I'm about to use small NVME drive (~250G). Mainly for PVE itself plus come LXC, later on perhapse 1-2 VMs. Additional (yet obviously internal) 2,5" drive mailny for storage purposes (small NAS, NextCloud). Just wondered if having (not hunting for one...

Hi there. I'm about to replace my HP 800 G1 with HP 600 G4 as low-power Proxmox host. For now I barely use it on my homelab - mainly LXC Pi-Hole etc. Since I'm about to finally switch to nvme support I'm planning to use NVME for host os + some light vm/containers plus small NAS/DLNA and/or...

I'd also consider monitoring your disk weekly/daily(?) usage (total read/write, iops etc both vm and host based). Perhapse this might giva a clue how badly (if at all) your disk is being stressed out. Obviously your w10 autonomous behavior (scheduled updates etc) might make the results a bit...

Not sure but seems ur drive is reaching its eol...

Why using ZFS on a single disk (well except zfs-snaps perhapse)?

Try 'hashing' out NFS entry in /etc/pve/storage.cfg, then reboot if possible. If GUI is back again readd NFS share (using soft mount instead). Just add 'soft' parameter at 'options' line (like so: options vers=4,soft)

You've probably changed disk/controller type - your VM OS cannot recognize (yet). Before changing disk config you should create a tiny new disk using virtio scsi type. Then install virtio scsi drivers under VM to it. Finally shutdown VM, change your main disk type and boot again (also remove...

I'd start by running some read/write tests directly from your host (PM I mean). If those seem to work fine next - do some benchmark from a VM. What is your VM harddisk controller setup? How 'bout changing your virtual controller to Virtio SCSI? Also what's the storage type - ZFS/ext4-lvm/thin...

Hi there. I recently noticed issues using NFS NAS share being used as backup storage. Probably due some network issues (or nas/power failure etc) scheduled vzdump process got frozen after reaching 100%. "Lucky" for me backed up VM still worked. Anyway I had to force killing vzdump proces and...

Proxmox installation (from official ISO) will remove all your current disk data so be warned. IMO 30-40GB is quite low for peace of mind using Proxmox + vms anyway... Workaround is manually install debian based distro and install Proxmox feature manually on top of it. Doubt you'll manage to do...

If your new disk is trully 'unused' storage configuration from webGUI should be possible. For single drive I'd leave ZFS and use simple ext4 with lvm-thin instead. PS. Using NAS as a VM storage probably not a great idea comparing performance nVME vs LAN (1Gbps tops?). Depends on a NAS ofcourse...

Perhapse cause you have a non-backed up 'backup' VD (not included in archive itself)?

I think it will do just fine (at least for lightweight VMs/CTs)

Not quite understand your scenario. Do you have a PM host with mounted storage (like NFS) on external NAS? Or NAS is a VM aswell? What's your filesystem on a storage containing your VD? You could try to create 2nd VM, detach your 1st VM disk, then attach it to other one. 2nd part needs to be...

Afaik ZFS does not have VD's as a regular "files" to copy. How about just simple backup/restore? Using that your backgroud filesystem doesn't matter. You can backup/restore to different storage easily and restore process will match output VD's format accordingly.

Just a quick update. After a few reboots vga output came back. I guess that makes troubleshooting even more difficult :/

What's the main purpose for your build? Is it just a homelab or what? In both cases... why not a refurbished one like -Lenovo M72e -Lenovo M93p -MINI HP Elite 8300 USDT -Dell OptiPlex 3010 and so on... plenty too choose from. Or anything with i5-2500s like cpu (4 core). I suppose this old 2nd...

Hi there. I performed locally a fresh installation of PM (6.4-1) on my Fujitsu x2540 M2. After that I updated (remotely) to v.7 'by-the-book' using pve6to7 check and no-subscripton repos. Everything went smoothly but what made me wonder is no signal on vga output (@ least that's what monitor...

2-core 2-thread... not much to share with 3 vm's + host :/
