    High CPU load for Windows 10 Guests when idle

    I've never found a solution for this either. My Win10 VMs when idle report 1-2% CPU usage; host reports the VM usage as not less than 15% and bounces as high as 22% for the same guest usage at 1-2%

    PVE 5.2; kernel and vfio passthrough errors: Mapping multiple BARs

    Actually I was premature in reporting success with SeaBIOS. My logs are filling up quickly and reporting: Jun 12 13:52:26 pve kernel: [ 615.796277] caller vfio_pci_vga_rw+0x16d/0x240 [vfio_pci] mapping multiple BARs Jun 12 13:52:26 pve kernel: [ 615.796393] resource sanity check: requesting...

    PVE 5.2; kernel and vfio passthrough errors: Mapping multiple BARs

    Update: I have posted flooded log messages in second post which may be easier to identify and resolve then the remainder of this original post. Prior to upgrading to PVE 5.2 my guest VMs were booting without issue using OVMF. Some issues I am noticing: 1) Windows 10 guests, OVMF, boot to...

    Boot Hangs with vfio Problem trying Skylake Passthrough

    I don't remember the exact reason or error I received when trying passthrough on my system; though I am not passing an onboard video card. This may be worth trying.. My resolution was adding "iommu=pt" to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"

    VM with GPU passthrough reboots host on shutdown

    My only success with Nvidia and GPU passthrough was after turning KVM off so later drivers could be installed. I was using a GTX 580 and the 5 series was known to have issues reinitializing so I had to reboot my host continuously. I switched to AMD and had no such issues.

    Lenovo BIOS lock, unable to run Windows OS

    Did you try this with OVMF; UEFI BIOS? I created a dump of my ACPI table and pass the SLIC table through args passing my OEM SLIC/serial. I haven't tried the PVE option you posted above. args: -acpitable file=/path/to/slic.bin This works great for activating my license. I'll have to try a...

    ZFS directory empty after reboot

    Thanks. That does list my raw disk images as well as the tank. All mountpoints are listed. I created a couple directories in the root of the tank. mkdir. Those folders are empty now after a reboot. I assume it has to do with not creating it as a dataset... I believe I can recover my files...

    PVE Crashing Starting LXC Container (5.1)

    I did not have this problem on 5.1 but after upgrading to 5.2 and a couple reboots later none of my containers will boot. I'll return with more details, I've left my system offline until I could get here to investigate Edit/Correction: something else is going on. I'll create a separate thread...

    ZFS directory empty after reboot

    I created a directory on my ZFS pool and added that directory as storage on the datacenter for disk images and container templates. Everything was working fine until I rebooted... Now, all of the ISO images and LXC templates are missing from those directories. The pool reports healthy and...

    Nested Virtualization without CPU host

    I have one graphics card. But otherwise, yes I have had macOS 10.12 and 10.13 working fine in PVE. They also work fine off of the Mac Pro; I suspect even AMD PVE system would run as vanilla without issue (with intel personality). I'd be glad to share my setup. Concerning the Wiki I see no way...

    Nested Virtualization without CPU host

    I have a mixed PVE cluster; most guests are running Windows and Linux. In addition, PVE is running on an Intel MacPro where macOS is a guest. I am also running my VM with VGA passthrough on this system as a triple boot guest to macOS, Windows, and Linux. Since passthrough and macOS require...

    Append/postfix args? How to issue command line argument to QEMU AFTER devices have been specified?

    Unless/until later we can append the args directly to the net0 line, try: Record your existing net0 MAC address if you wish to duplicate the interface; else prepare a new MAC; Remove the net0 device from the VM's hardware config; and the following args line to your VM's config file with the...

    Memory claiming disk space

    I read over the information on the pagefile and that seems correct. Working with physical hardware that would have been just gobbled up and gone unnoticed. With identical cloned VMs I can notice the difference; but I should have thought of that. I'm considering setting a fixed pagefile size and...

    Memory claiming disk space

    Should the pagefile be equal to the size of VM memory? If I add 10GB RAM my available space on the disk availability decreases by 10GB. I see 1:1 I wasn't expecting that at all. I built a template to deploy linked clones and tried to keep the base image as small as possible with some room for...

    Memory claiming disk space

    I don't remember this being discussed or documented nor do I ever recall experiencing or noticing this happen. Maybe it's normal... Problem: When I increase the amount of ram in a VM the disk space on the guest's primary hard drive is used/filled by the adjusted amount of change to memory...
