    /proc read-only in lxc when trying to set /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

    You are correct ;) I took your previous note about VMs to mean that the hypervisor had some built in property which would allow only certain processes to over-commit memory. I now understand that you meant that VMs can control their own virtualized kernel's over-commit, and it's this same...

    VM migration when host rebooting

    Hi Viktor, At the moment, we don't have a proper HA load-balancer. The best thing you can do is configure multiple groups with differing priorities. However, earlier today an initial PoC/RFC was send to the mailing list [1], which addresses the topic, so you can follow PVE development list [2]...

    VM (Windows 2022) - shrink qcow2

    Could you post the config file for the VM? (cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>)

    /proc read-only in lxc when trying to set /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

    Okay, thanks for clarifying. I understand what you mean now. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to communicate this information in the direction you want. As the container doesn't have any information on the host's memory distribution, it's unable to prevent itself from trying to use...

    /proc read-only in lxc when trying to set /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory

    Forgive me if I'm missing something, but why don't you just assign this container a limited amount of memory? The ability to over-commit memory is more relevant to the PVE host, as it's managing the rest of the processes. It's a security risk to have the /proc filesystem writable from the...

    [SOLVED] (7.1) Windows 11 CPU Type

    Hi, Could you post the Windows VM config file as well as the output pveversion -v? Did you add a trusted platform module (TPM) [1] to the system and give it at least 4 cores? Did you try to use the 'kvm64' processor, with the flags that Thomas listed, in the linked forum post...

    Are these kernel panics? Now what?

    Hi, The actual error message should be a couple of lines above this (maybe starting with "INFO"). This only shows the call trace which led to the issue. Could you post the full message and the output of pveversion -v?

    MS Exchange 2019 Cluster - crashes am Laufenden Band

    Hallo, Bei einer so großen Anzahl von Laufwerken ist es durchaus möglich, dass das Problem in der neuen io_uring-Schnittstelle [1] liegt. Könnten Sie versuchen, 'Native AIO' anstelle von io_uring für jede der Festplatten zu verwenden. Das geht am einfachsten, indem Sie aio=native an das Ende...

    How to delete ghost CEPH storage from nodes?

    Hi, If you are sure that Ceph has been fully removed, and if removal is not an option from the GUI, you can remove the entries from the file /etc/pve/storage.cfg to get rid of the ghost entries.

    [ASK] Older node was re-installed and wants to join

    Hi, Are you sure that the node was otherwise removed? Please check the output of pvecm status, to ensure that it has been removed. If it has been removed, it's possible that it's still shown because it had some VM/LXC config files stored on it, which the cluster retains as a precaution, after...

    Force transfer backups over 10GbE, not 1GbE?

    Hi, If the Freenas server is connected on the 10GbE switch, the backup should run over this network. Are the 10GbE and 1GbE NICs on different networks? Could you post your network configuration (/etc/network/interfaces) as well as the address and subnet of the Freenas server?

    Snapshot proxmox installation itself

    Hi, You should be able to do this using ZFS snapshots, but be careful not to accidentally revert anything you want to keep, such as VMs or configuration files. It might be a better idea to simply backup /etc and particullarly /etc/pve, so that you retain configuration settings in case you need...

    Data on another disk/VG

    Hi, The Proxmox VE installer automatically partitions the disk and sets up a logical volume with a root and data partition. To achieve what you're asking for, you could install Proxmox VE following the default LVM setup, then remove the "data" LV following the installation: # remove LV 'data'...

    Local Disk Full and Proxmox Error During Backup

    Hi, if this is still an issue, you should first look for where space is being used on the host. This is easiest tracked by using du -sh /* | sort -hr to view disk usage from the root partition, sorted from highest to lowest. You can then run the command on the directories which take up a...

    Cluster/Nodes between two locations

    Corosync needs a stable connection with latency between the nodes of under 2ms [1]. If the latency between your home and office is less than this, or if you can't guarantee a consistently stable connection between the two, you should expect to face quorum issues and downtime. As it's only two...

    promox hetznet install?

    This line is routing an entire range of addresses (192.9.122.96/27) to 192.9.122.97. Did you instead mean to use route add -host 192.9.122.96...? Also, may I ask what you want to achieve with this line? If the VM is on the bridge vmbr0, it should be using 10.10.10.1 as its gateway. As for the...

    promox hetznet install?

    Hi, For setup with Hetzner, if you only have a single public IP address, it's probably best to follow the Masquerading setup (see "3.3.6 Masquerading (NAT) with iptables", in the PVE admin guide [1]). The probable reason for the MAC address errors is stated in section "3.3.5 Routed...

    Directory not empty at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/VZDump.pm line 1067

    Could you post the entire contents of the backup task log? It seems like a permissions issue on the NFS anyway. Could you also post the output of: getfacl /mnt/backup/tobackup/dump?

    Proxmox only with CEPH

    Okay, as long as you're happy with using Proxmox VE, I won't stop you ;) But I wouldn't advise disabling other parts of Proxmox VE, as these shouldn't really interfere with anything or lead to any noticeable resource usage, and disabling them could lead to some unexpected behavior. Furthermore...

    Proxmox only with CEPH

    Hi, I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you trying to set up Proxmox VE just to make use of its Ceph management interface? If this is the case, note that Ceph also has its own web-based management interface [1]. [1] https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/mgr/dashboard/
