    Error on update to 6.2.10 "setupcon is missing. Please install the 'console-setup' package."

    Thanks for that. The system is entirely canonical, with no deviations that I am aware of. Keyboard is English UK. My comment about it being non-enterprise was wrong, though, I had too many screens open! It's on the enterprise subscription. I'm inclined to wait for the next minor update and...

    Why is there no "Notes" TAB for a VM?

    Agreed... but it continually improves (on the whole!)

    Error on update to 6.2.10 "setupcon is missing. Please install the 'console-setup' package."

    I can do (and have done) that, but as the system is canonical wondered if it was a Proxmox update issue that might occur more generally. This is our test non-enterprise machine.

    Mounting GPT disk in VM

    Thanks again for the reply. Um, I don't think I am mixing them, but I am certainly misunderstanding! My point is that the GPT disk is mountable on the host OK. In the post I referred to above you said: This is what I want to do as well, but I have not yet achieved this and cannot use...

    Mounting GPT disk in VM

    Thanks for the reply. This is where I am stuck; fdisk will not pick up GPT disks... The Areca array appears as /dev/sda in the host. Here is what happens when I run parted: (parted) print Model: Virtio Block Device (virtblk) Disk /dev/vda: 34.4GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B...

    Mounting GPT disk in VM

    I have seen the thread at: http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/3589-Using-local-harddisk-with-existing-data-as-storage but as this is old have started a new post. I have a large (14TB) Raid 6 on Areca array, partitioned with cgdisk (but could have been parted) and set up as per general...

    Boot problem after kernel upgrade while external USB drive connected - help, please!

    Re: Boot problem after kernel upgrade while external USB drive connected - help, plea Duh! Of course! Yes you were quite right, it had written the MBR to the wrong drive. What I had overlooked is the Grub trashes the original MBR in this case... Thank you!

    Boot problem after kernel upgrade while external USB drive connected - help, please!

    :: Resolved :: This is a very silly issue, but I'm posting for two reasons: 1. As a warning - don't do this! 2. To request help to resolve the issue as I am stuck. There was a recent 32-4 kernel upgrade released. As I had a machine on the bench at the time, I ran the upgrade and all was...

    NTFS on LVM direct - best practice?

    Hi, I'm new to KVM but like Proxmox and have been testing KVM in various circumstances also under CentOS and Ubuntu. As a result I'm building an XP farm on a new HP DL385 G7. After getting the missing battery for the controller (see other posts by me) I was still seeing somewhat disappointing...

    Note of working hardware: HP DL 385 G7 works

    Just for the record, this brand-new machine seems 100% OK so far *despite* HP "support" refusing to agree that it would work. This is a 2-socket box with one 12-core AMD in it at present and I expect it should work well. If you order one make sure to order either a battery for the package...

    Poor performance on HP ProLiant DL385 G7 12-core

    Well, this was a real slap-head issue. The server came WITH battery-backed cache and RAM but WITHOUT the battery. I forgive Purchasing for not detecting this! Results after ordering and installing the battery and it getting charged (on 1.51 kernel): proxmox1:~# pveperf CPU BOGOMIPS...
