As far as storage goes, I personally use all consumer grade disks for my own builds, and for my small business clients. Honestly, I don't even use any of the special Reds or Purples or Golds or whatevers. I haven't seen any tests that show these drives provide any additional performance, or...

The USED column tells you how much space the snapshot is taking up. The AVAIL column tells you how much space the snapshot has available to it. I think a - is displayed here because snapshots are immutable. The REFER column tells you how much space was used on the referenced dataset or zvol when...

I've gotten a lot of the soft lockups, as well as just experiencing atrocious performance with RAIDz2. RAIDz2/RAID6 just isn't very good for performant small block operations. You might be able to skirt around the issue by having a couple of SSDs mirrored for ZIL and L2ARC. But ultimately I...

I've not used pve-zsync myself, so I can't answer for it. However, I do use Sanoid to sync snapshots between Proxmox boxes, and even Proxmox to FreeNAS. Maybe it will be able to help you as well. The configuration for snapshot retention is set on each box, so you can have the source keep only...

On the beelink x55, I'm only seeing USB 3.0 ports. I've run into a ton of problems, across different distros, and even across different operating systems entirely, using USB 3.0 for live installer media. FreeBSD often just won't boot to 3.0. It wouldn't surprise me if the reason you can't select...

In the end, is this any cheaper or easier than just setting up a terminal services VM?

Drat. Ceph and containers. The gaps in my knowledge are showing. I guess the best guidance I can give is that: * vm-100-disk-1 needs to be in the same location as vm-100-disk-2 * The naming convention needs to be the same. We can't have Proxmox looking for vm-100-disk-1 if the file is actually...

Can you post the contents of your 100.conf file? Also if you could do a pwd and ls -l in the directory where the virtual disks live (assuming these are .qcow2 files you're working with).

To my knowledge, you aren't missing any commands. Your new install of Proxmox isn't aware of vm-100-disk-1, and since it doesn't want to be destructive (a big thank you to the devs for this!!), you will have to show Proxmox the way. You'll have to go to /etc/pve/qemu-server/ and edit the...

Have you disabled whatever driver Linux loads for the PERC? You can check this with lspci -k 01:00.0 The tricky part is making sure that you're not disabling a driver that is needed elsewhere, like for your primary SATA controller for example. You might be able to unload the driver for the...

In the Summary of each VM, you can scroll down to the bottom to get a pretty graph of the disk usage. If you're not big on trolling through the web interface and want to do this at the CLI, then iotop that danielb recommended is probably the best option.

Sure. Let's start with getting the output of a VM that you're trying to start. If you could, just post the output of the command below, and that should give us a good starting point for more questions. qm start <vmid>

Set zfs_arc_min to ~4GB, and zfs_arc_max to ~8GB. Adjust the min/max as necessary. If you find you're pulling data from disks more often than you'd like, raise the min. If you find you haven't had a disk performance problem in some time, try dropping a gig off of max and see if your VM still...

At a glance, it looks like pve-zsync is ZFS snapshots. So your first synchronization is going to be the same between rsync and zsync. But subsequent syncs, zsync should take the cake pretty handily as it doesn't need to scan the far side to see what blocks have changed.

I haven't seen that happen before. Can you send a kill signal to it (not -9) and see if it will gracefully quit?

Where does the issue occur? Does the VM itself fail to start, or does the OS fail to load within the VM?

++ to dietmar's link. That's the one I followed and the upgrade completed without issue.

I think the best way to troubleshoot P2V servers is just to go into the VM, to Services, and just go down the list of services looking for any service that is either specific to HP, or specific to a piece of hardware that was part of the physical server, like the RAID controller, or backup...

What is your underlying disk setup, and virtual disk type for the VM? P2Vs are terrible, terrible beasts. Often times there can be services that are tied to hardware drivers that can slow the VM down, sometimes drastically. Check for services that are specific to the brand of server that it...

Okay, you're nearly there. I think the only thing remaining now is pretty typical cable modem finickiness. With your Untangle VM off, unplug the cable modem, turn the Untangle VM on, let it boot, and then plug the cable modem back in and let it boot. Once it seems to be booted, hop into...
