Hmm... So, I installed the kernel headers as suggested above, making sure they were of the same version of the kernel as is installed: # uname -a Linux proxmox 4.4.6-1-pve #1 SMP Thu Apr 21 11:25:40 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux So, both are 4.4.6-1-pve. I ran the Nvidia binary blob driver...

Never mind, I got my answer here. My mistake was I searched for "do-release-upgrade" when I should ahve searched for "testing template" :p

Hey all, All of my Ubuntu containers are still on 14.04LTS, because IMHO 16.04 hasn't been out there long enough to prove itself yet, and I don't run non-LTS Ubuntu releases on anything, desktop or server. ( learned my lesson about this years ago) Right now, - however - I have a need to do...

To be clear, no KVM disk images reside on my big 12 disk pool. It is for file storage only. Unusually hyperactive file storage that - if poorly planned - can hurt media streaming performance but file storage none the less. My VM storage resides on the ZFS mirror created by the Proxmox...

I would caution against blindly setting any values :p I've been using these settings for some time under FreeNAS. I originally experimented with them because I was having problems streaming media content off the volume when it was busy. These settings all but made that problem ago away. I...

I honestly never paid much attention to the block sizes of the pools. My big pool was originally created on FreeNAS a long time ago, but has been exported, moved, imported, upgraded, etc. over the years, so I decided to check: Blocksize of rpool (boot mirror set up by Proxmox installer): # zfs...

Never mind, this is definitely not an apparmor problem. I have succeeded in getting my guest shares to work. Still having the same problem with shares that require usernames and passwords. :/

Hey all, So I'm trying to set up a container that shares a few folders via SAMBA. From what I can tell my configuration SHOULD be working, but no matter what I do, when I try to connect to the shares, I get permission denied, even on guest accounts. I'm wondering, is this apparmor blocking...

The first line in the 4.x to 4.2 upgrade guide is: So, yes, this means you need a valid subscription to access the stable repository. In the link Tom posted above there is also a "Non-Subscription Repository". I imagine this will also work for upgrades, but keep in mind that this repository...

Yeah, when I first started using ESXi it was really the only system that could do what I wanted to do at the time. KVM has come a long way in the last 6 years. For me there were many reasons for switching, here are some of them: A bug in ESXi 6 resulted in a kernel panic hard crash situation...

In my own testing I have found that with all things equal, NFS provides throughput as well as, or slightly better than iSCSI, but pay attention to the "all things being equal" part. iSCSI uses async writes, which improves write performance by "lying" to the OS that has mounted it and telling it...

RAID0 :eek: You must like data loss.

I had the same slow boot problem when I recently migrated my FreeNAS guest which previously had been running fine for years in ESXi with two passed through LSI 9211-8i controllers. When my first scrub initialized I started seeing massive amounts of checksum errors, and lost a good amount of...

Could this be a file permission issue maybe? When you replaced the dummy image with the old image, did you compare the permissions/user/group and make sure to make them the same?

Yeah, it is. It sounds more impressive than it is really. I've built it together from bits and pieces I've pounced on when the price has been unusually favorable used on eBay over the years :p Well, TV is just one of the many things I use the server for, but because it is very disk latency...

Well, I recently tried using FreeNAS as a VM in proxmox with a passed through LSI SAS controller. This configuration had worked for me since ESXi 5.0 a few years back under ESXi, but I guess it just didn't like KVM, and it caused a bunch of checksum errors. I wound up exporting thee pool and...

That is interesting. I've never run into anything server based I couldn't do with 14.04LTS, but I guess everyone's needs are different. The only application I've ever run into where a newer than LTS distribution made sense was in video playback on integrated intel graphics chipsets, where a...

Why on earth would anyone run a Non-LTS Ubuntu, especially on a server? I'm still installing 14.04LTS now even after the 16.04LTS release until 16.04 has been out long enough that I become comfortable with that it is stable enough for server use. There should be no reason for any Ubuntu...

Yeah, I don't understand what the problem is here. Linux by default uses free system RAM to cache disks and all sorts of other things. This cache helps speed up future disk reads, as they are read from the fast ram, instead of the relatively slow disk. We WANT Linux to do this. It is a...

Nice. Quick question regarding upgrading from 4.1. I usually like to image my boot drives before doing release upgrades "just in case", but I'm wondering, since I'm booting from a ZFS mirror in 4.1, if I were to take a recursive ZFS snapshot of rpool before starting the upgrade, and something...
