    Very Serious Backup/Restore Issue in PVE 5.0

    @vlab. Before you blew away the existing hosts, were you still on Proxmox 4.4? I would verify the backup as LnxBil mentioned, and if possible, try and restore the backup files to another test server based on the same version as your original host. Or you can try booting up with an older kernel...

    VM start issues

    I think your VPS provider is having network related issues. I can't even ping srv.iwebhosting.com.br, or https://solusvm.iwebhosting.com.br. Even nameservers are not responding: ns1.iwebhosting.com.br

    Poor performance with ZFS

    Hi Chalan, you need to install package "sysstat" first #apt-get install sysstat run a clone operation and then run: #iostat -x 5 then watch for a disk with any unusually high values under these columns | await | r_await | w_await | % util

    vms lags during vm cloning

    Is the /public/ ZFS pool local storage? What happens if you temporarily remove (offline) /public/ ZFS pool, pull the drives out, reboot, and then re-run pveperf with just the 4 disks in raid10? Do you remember running pveperf before adding /public/?, and if it was better?

    vms lags during vm cloning

    fsync for pool /public/ looks about right. fsync for pool /rpool/ looks terrible. REGEX/SECOND for both seem lower than normal. Can you check ashift settings for pool /rpool/ and also pool /public/ Check ashift settings: #zdb -C rpool | grep ashift and #zdb -C public | grep ashift The...

    vms lags during vm cloning

    I don't know if syntax makes a difference, what happens to fsync rate if you do: #pveperf /rpool/

    vms lags during vm cloning

    If you want additional ZFS tips & tweaks, gkovacs has an excellent write-up on his ZFS settings here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/single-server-storage-recommendations.35148/#post-172410 Otherwise if everything's running fine, I'd leave well enough alone. And if you do change anything...

    vms lags during vm cloning

    As I understand it, ZFS requires more memory to reach full potential. So if you have 16gb, expect 8GB to be dedicated to ZFS, with 8GB left to be divided between your VM's. Please see this port for more information...

    Proxmox can't find my second NIC

    @Saihtam If this is non-production server, you can try enabling pve-test repository which uses a newer kernel. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories Good Luck!

    Proxmox can't find my second NIC

    I agree with Alwin, I would remove the card, use eraser to gently scrub the contacts, and then isopropyl alcohol or windex on the contacts. Can you also try another PCI-E slot? Also, if you aren't using the onboard motherboard NIC, try disabling it in BIOS. And also update your motherboard's...

    Slow VM's when backups are running

    I would check network stats from each node, to check for network card errors: #ip -s link Also do you have another 1GB switch and/or Cat6 cables to switch out and retest? Is the switch using VLAN and/or is there any QOS or bandwidth throttling enabled?

    test upgrade from community 4.4 to 5.x

    Correct, your proxmox 4.4 test VM should have sources.list pointing to debian Jessie pve-nosubscription repos, and pve-enterprise also disabled, then dist-upgrade to latest updates. Once no more updates available for 4.4, modify sources again to debian stretch pve-no subscription and...

    WARNING: Not using lvmetad because config setting use_lvmetad=0

    "Can I stop lvm2-lvmetad while the server is in use and VM are running?" In my case I stopped lvm2-lvmetad while2 VM's were running (Windows and ClearOS VM) and I didn't notice any issues during the updates. This is on a standalone (non cluster) server with pve-nosubscription repository. I...

    WARNING: Not using lvmetad because config setting use_lvmetad=0

    Hello, I encountered the same issue awhile back. It sounds scary, but actually harmless. If I interpret correctly, this happens because "pvscan --cache" can't run while the service "lvm2-lvmetad" is running. Here's what I did to make sure apt-get update/dist-upgrade went smooth: #service...

    Crash with reboot

    I'm not the expert, but I recall using ZFS requires adding more memory. Maybe ZFS used more ram during file copies than it free'd up, causing the crash. see here: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/zfs-server-crash.32675/...
