    Proxmox 5 beta, Areca 1883i, 10x LESS Fsync/Sec vs 4.x

    The 5.0 beta VM that before had 300 on average, went down to 210 with barrier=0 (I've tested with a grep in /proc/mounts and shows the "nobarrier" option).

    Proxmox 5 beta, Areca 1883i, 10x LESS Fsync/Sec vs 4.x

    I've done a "better than nothing" test: in my production server I've created 2 VM, storage in thin-lvm, 32GB, 2GB ram. One has 4.4, the other 5.0beta, default configuration (no updates, no config changes, no new packages installed, just bare metal installation and reboot) On average of 4 tests...

    Proxmox 5 beta, Areca 1883i, 10x LESS Fsync/Sec vs 4.x

    Since I've BBU, barrier=0 was never necessary, writeback cache took care of the performance drawback. I've now installed 4.4 on the same hardware, same fstab config, and I've fsync of 8800! So there is something badly broken in 5.0 beta about performance, at least with areca, or the measurement...

    Proxmox 5 beta, Areca 1883i, 10x LESS Fsync/Sec vs 4.x

    I've a new server where I've installed an Areca RAID controller 1883i, 4 x 1TB RAID10 WD Enterprise Gold and 2 x 2TB RAID1 WD Enterprise Gold. The controller has a "supercap" and Write Back cache enabled, raid has been initialized this night. With Proxmox 4 the same controller with 4x500GB...

    Windows 10 low performance

    Spice in Win10? As far as I know Win10 is not supported by Spice so far, and when I tried performance and responsiveness were terrible. How did you make it work?

    Gluster storage

    So you mean that I can't create a 2 storage node with a 3rd cheap node just for proxmox quorum, as I did with drbd9 (that I have to abandon due to licensing changes)? What alternative (complexity and cost wise) do I have? People here just need the possibility to have redondant nodes/storage, HA...

    DRBD9 wrong free space calculation

    There is 0.97.3-1 in the repo, but after upgrade the calculation is still wrong. Is there any command to run to make it "recalculate", or something further to do? I should have plenty of free space but is reported not, and I will be introubles if I will have to create some more VM or enlarge...

    How upgrade a 3 node, 2 node storage, drbd9

    Ok, I've upgraded first the "control node", then rebooted. Then I upgraded the node with storage but no VM on it, and rebooted. Last I upgraded the node with storage where VM are run (primary), and rebooted. Everything went fine, fortunately. The only big problem is that still, with 2x800GB for...

    How upgrade a 3 node, 2 node storage, drbd9

    I've a 3 node cluster (but only 2 node storage) with enterprise repo and drbdmanage 0.91-1, so I think I'd better upgrade now (also hoping 0.97.3-1 will fix some issues about calculated free space) since the license change and waiting to things to clarify (and in the future avoid the...

    drbdmanage license change

    So the "few facts" also are: a) DRBD Manage is NOT free(dom) software anymore b) you can NOT trust Linbit about developing free software, the license can become proprietari in a snap c) is bettere not use DRBD if you use Proxmox, since you can't have support from proxmox and you have to pay 2...

    ext4, fstab, io wait

    Seems so, I've also noatime, i.e. my config is usually like that /dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext4 defaults,noatime,nobarrier 0 1 of course after changes in fstab you have to remount or better reboot :)

    ext4, fstab, io wait

    Try to mount the file system with "nobarrier" option, a bit more risky (search about the implications) but definetely your fsync numbers will increase a lot

    Win10 Spice not working

    I know, is the way I installed them :) But you stated "there is no guest-tool exe for win10, only for win7", I of course was referring to guest-agent (qemu-ga-x64.msi), so just now I see the confusion that has been made (I thought was the same thing). I will investigate further tomorrow since...

    Win10 Spice not working

    Argh, the wiki is not that clear about it, so I should remove them? How is that I've been able to have "QUEMU Guest Agent" and "QUEMU Guest Agent VSS Provider" running? I need to try to find how to uninstall them? Seems at least that shutdown is fine with them installed.

    Win10 Spice not working

    I reply to myself about the manual installation. I've found in a oVirt page the necessary steps, that are: run cmd as administrator, go in the directory where the unpacked files are, run "vdservice install" and then "net start vdservice". In services, you will have now "RHEV Spice Agent". Mouse...

    Win10 Spice not working

    Probably, because everywhere is stated that if you install guest-tools, should be included and installed!!! When has this been broken? I installed a test Win7 recently and AFAIR I had the same issue. In any case, I've dowloaded the file you pointed me, extracted the zip, doble clcked in vdagent...

    Win10 Spice not working

    Hi, I've a Kubuntu 16.04 vm and spice works fine (I've "Use tablet for pointer" Yes, "Qemu agent" Yes, Display "Spice (qlx)" and in the guest I've installed spice-vdagent). But when I try to set spice on Windows 10 pro (or even Win7), the mouse keeps being grabbed and is not precise/does not...

    Failed to start VNC server: The server certificate /etc/pve/local/pve-ssl.pem is not yet active

    Just to notify you that I installed (bare metal) 4.2 without internet connection, had problems to identify the right eth0 port so I did some reboot before solving (AFAIR), and had the certificate FAR AWAY from current date/time (I recreated it with your instruction and now everything is ok)...

    DRBD9 and pvesm

    I don't understand you completely. I've 2x800GB SSD in each of the 2 storage node (3° node only for quorum). That is why VG is 1.4TB (I've not fully used the theorethical 1.6TB capacity) root@prox01:~# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert .drbdctrl_0...

    DRBD9 and pvesm

    That was my feeling too, but seems that Proxmox team just ignored me thinking that "drbd9 is broken", and they could be right, just we should understand if the "redundancy" adjustment should be made by drbd tools or by proxmox ones. In my situation, with redundancy 2, for instance I have: #...
