Appreciate your pointing that out @avw. Not sure if this has any bearing, but I am booting to a ZFS RAID-1 mirror arrangement from a PCI card. Couldn't quite tell where the boot sectors are kept (probably both drives), so I didn't isolate the bootloader being used initially and made an...

Very interesting @avw thank you for making this observation. So far while I have found maybe a couple people talking about it, each one hasn't seemed to be the actual problem with the R710. I'll keep digging and researching. It does sound similar though, but strange nonetheless, since I am...

@fireon again, thank you for your work with this. ❤️ Does this map to the GUID of the USB devices so as to always mount it as the same name? If not, could you extend it to do so? I simply want reliability in naming for certain drives. Also could you please extend its functionality to 1)...

EDIT + SOLUTION: if you are having trouble with PCI passthrough on your system and know/believe it should work, be sure to know if you are using GRUB or Systemd-boot first. If you are using UEFI you are probably on Systemd-boot and need to edit /etc/kernel/cmdline and issue pve-efiboot-tool...

It appears Proxmox 7 support is available: apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2FAB19E7CCB7F415 echo "deb https://apt.iteas.at/iteas bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/iteas.list apt update apt install pve7-usb-automount Thank you! I would suggest always modifying...

I am having a similar issue. When I attempt to mount a SMB (CIFS) share from a macOS file server on Proxmox 7, I get the error: create storage failed: storage 'name_of_server_and_share' is not online The command that produces this is: pvesm add cifs name_of_server_and_share --server...

I certainly understand, but it would still be interesting to get some metrics for better comprehension. I've done a good bit of digging and everyone SAYS stuff about what we already understand, but I don't see any actual measurements to see real differentials between the two. Really a shame...

Curious: has anyone done an analysis of what the memory and processors utilization differentials are between a virtual machine and an LXC container? I think it would be interesting to see how much more RAM a large and small virtual machine may use compared to both a large and small a container...

@juliokele thank you - am I missing something? I diff'd the code you shared above but it is no diff from the one I originally posted. Was there supposed to be a change? I think something must be missing. Thank you for the last three lines that apparently will cause it to use this instead of...

Ah I see. That seems to have worked I believe! So we need to start kexec-load.service at system start. The process is also labeled as making reboot also initiate this fast restart. Are you aware of how to make this work? From my impression normal-reboot and a halt and then starting the server...

I am also having trouble with this situation and would like to understand this better. I have a home / small office scenario where I run 4 Proxmox servers. 2 of the 4 servers are usually off and 1 of those that is on needs to be really flexible. The main thing I'm looking to achieve with a...

Thanks for calling that out @juliokele for direct exec, here is the output: systemctl kexec No kexec kernel loaded and autodetection failed. Cannot automatically load kernel: ESP partition mount point not found.

I managed to get an R710 working with BIOS 6.6.0. I set it to boot to UEFI instead of BIOS/MBR and used F11 to get into the UEFI boot manager. Once there I selected the USB flash drive (I prepared with Ventoy and a copy of the most recent Proxmox ISO on it) and after installation everything...

Working on updating this for Proxmox 7: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-7-fast-reboot-with-kexec.93422/ Thank you for the input and links!

I'm attempting to synthesize the instructions found here with this as mentioned previously in order to get kexec to work with Proxmox 7 for fast reboots. Some servers I work with have just insane reboot times and this would help dramatically in some situations. I ended up taking the following...

Thank you very much for letting us know about Ventoy! I was testing a Dell R710 booting to UEFI and couldn't get it to work as it has with other servers. Rufus and Etcher would not produce a bootable USB flash drive with proxmox-ve_7.0-1.iso, but Ventoy did the job!!! Very nice and so much...

Oh nice find @ph0x, thank you. I was having a hard time isolating something like that based on having the right search terms. I had a hard time getting the server to respond for some reason so I got an archive: https://archive.is/dz0QV

I installed with ZFS on a single SSD. It would be nice to avoid a reinstall for sure.

This looks like it may have the answer, but has anything changed in this regard for Proxmox 7 since this posting?: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/convert-single-drive-proxmox-installation-to-a-raid-1-configuration.77941/

I have a server I've installed Proxmox onto that has one SSD for the main system installation. I'd like to add an identical drive in a month to mirror my base install as a software RAID-1 (raidz maybe?) so I don't have any down time for when the primary SSD fails. Can this be done, and if so, how?
