    Howto rename VMID

    Yes it has been asked before, a decade ago. Things have moved on, we no longer use OpenVZ. How is it done 2019? I can rename the devices under /dev/pve and update the config files under /etc/pve/qemu-server, but after a reboot the symlinks under /dev/pve are back to their old values. I suppose...

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    I tried to get around this by disabling the qemu agent, but now it is just crashing the server instead. Then BANG reboot. I had a look around the files available under /var/log but don't see anything obvious. For example this from kern.log: help?

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    So here is the continuation of the story. Trying to do an automatic snapshot last night I woke up to a unresponsive server, and this logfile: The snapshot/backup was taken, the problem is just that the server was dead in the water for two hours. Off peak hours but still. Anyway, any idea why...

    snapshot, is this normal?

    The vzdump(1) man page says: I'm just wondering how to understand this, as it conflicts with the above statement, and also with my own observations. No LVM - no snapshot. So how should we understand the man page? And somewhat related .... is it possible to use compression with snapshots and...

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    Now this is the weirdest ... the only change I made was adding [general] verbose = 1 To the bottom of /etc/sysconfig/qemu-ga. I did't know how to "restart" qemu so I rebooted the VM, then ran the vzdump command like before, but now it runs as it should. o_O

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    If if if freeze up again, is there any way to make it unfreeze other than a reset of the VM ? Also, before doing this, would it make any sense to remove /reinstall the qemu-agent software?

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    I rebooted the VM but it didn't suffice, i had to actually shut it down and restart it. Anyway, up again, without the qemu agent, and a vzdump -snapshot performs as it should.

    [SOLVED] snapshot stopping VM

    The storage is SSD, so can't be much faster. The VM has 8 GB ram and 4 cores and runs with a loadavg on around 1.00 at the times I tried. My objective is to run a full backup without stopping the machine. It was my understanding that is the purpose of snapshot backups? Will that still work...
