    Booting Proxmox from NetApp Lun

    I tried that yesterday with the exact same results. I can complete the install but on reboot, it gives a "non system disk, or disk error". that is with 4.1 and 5.1. I reinstalled VMware to insure it's the OS and WMware worked just fine. So I reinstalled Proxmox again and same result. I really...

    Booting Proxmox from NetApp Lun

    I been at this all day, trying to get this blasted thing to boot of the NetApp SAN. I was about to do it one with Debian Lenny, but once I added PVE, it paniced. Haven't been able to boot this thing since. At this point, with having this hard of a time with this software, it isn't viable for...

    MMU problem for memory sharing and ballooning.

    It looks as if the KSM is automatic and I verified that it is on. Guess I need matching operating systems to really test the KSM. KSM doesn't give back the memory, but instead shares the memory with like systems that are not going to right to it. EX. the main OS of windows is usually reading...

    MMU problem for memory sharing and ballooning.

    Wanted to report that the 2.6.32 kernel has the ballooning and hugepages working in it again. Sadly, the result is not what I expected and I was hoping the hugepages will allow for the unused guest memory to return to the host for other guests. This isn't the case. I jsut moved my problem from...

    New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32) [UPDATE]

    Re: New Proxmox VE Kernels (2.6.18 - 2.6.24 - 2.6.32) Wanted to update. I have the ballooning and hugepages working, which solves a thread I started earlier, but the result was not what I expected. Instead of not letting the memory go in the main space, not the VM won't let it go in hugepages...

    MMU problem for memory sharing and ballooning.

    ty. I wasn't really sure if it was a Kernel problem or possibly an AMD problem as it uses iommu and not really a normal mmu. I'm taking this work for testing on 2 HP 1u rackmounts 2.8gig duel Zeons (with VT) and a netapp SAN one server has 6 gigs of ram and the other has four. this is phase...

    MMU problem for memory sharing and ballooning.

    ok, I been doing a ton of googling regarding the MMU issue. I would like to use the "hugepages" for my KVM andit seems there was a problem with the kernel writing to parts of memory that might belong to other guests. I found these posts of kernel patches and they were dated for the begining of...
