    LXC 1.0 released, is now ready as a openvz replacement?

    I know this is an old post... but has any consideration been put in to LXD? Probably is not viable for immediate adoption as it was only just released, but sometime in the future it may. The key being that it builds on top of LXC and offers live migration...

    VT-D PCI passthrough issues

    I have set this up on a couple of servers, but this one is giving me trouble, I am trying to figure out if the hardware is just not going to let it happen, or do I just need to tweek my config a bit more. I am trying to pass through a 32 bit PCI card, have tried a couple of different random...

    Migrating from RAW LVM to qcow2

    I guess this is more for posterity and reference as I didnt find much on it here... Main questions- is this sane? am i missing anything? Currently I have a RAW LVM storage media (block devices), on local volume group called VMStor1, and wish to move to a normal ext3 formatted array mounted at...

    pve 3 fails to add 2nd disk to vm using ext4 storage

    Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm Thanks Dietmar - that worked, one last question, since i was able to mount a usb to my VM, is there a way to make it hotpluggable to the VM and send mount/unmount commands to it so that it can be cleanly removed without a VM...

    pve 3 fails to add 2nd disk to vm using ext4 storage

    Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm replying to myself, it appears that I have narrowed this down to not being stored on ext3, although I am not sure how this matters if the it is being presented as a passthrough device. My USB drive is partitioned as: sdc1: ext4...

    pve 3 fails to add 2nd disk to vm using ext4 storage

    Re: pve 3 fails qm VMID set ide0 dev to add complete disk to vm Actually this appears to be an issue with adding any drive type, including qcows, adding virtio2 in the config below causes the vm to error on starting: boot: ccn bootdisk: virtio1 cores: 6 ide2...

    What is best storage model for single server, local backing

    I guess from recent info on the wiki that qcow now being the default makes it the best format?? I am going to make a LVM volume, format it ext3 just like the default pve setup, and store my qcows on that.

    What is best storage model for single server, local backing

    In the past I have known that block devices on LVM are best, but I read a while back that qcow drivers have improved performance - so these days, what is the storage model sweet spot for features/performance. Already familiar with this: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage_Model Server specs...

    USB Disk Passtrough problem

    Try a different USB device - is a flash drive. I had the same issue with 1 western digital passport, and I think it is failing, because access times were very high on a normal PC, sometimes it would take 10-20 seconds to show the list of files. I tried another 500gb and 3tb drive, and both...

    usb storage does not show in /dev in latest pve 2.2

    Odd - after a reboot everything works. I suppose I could have ran a aptitude upgrade, but I thought I rebooted after that.

    Does this hardware config sound sane for SBS 2011??

    I am getting a Dell R710, just trying to work out the storage: 6x 300gb 10k 6gb/s SAS in RAID6 PVE installed on a single 60gb SSD (wish i could run it on SD card;), plugged in to motherboard, not RAID card, clone it off for backup. This way I can use raw LVM backing on the RAID array, and wont...
