    [SOLVED] Create a "blank" VM or CT

    Hi This is probably a basic (or maybe dumb) question but... how can I create a "blank" VM or CT? Why do I need this? Imagine that I have the backups of my VMs (vzdump-qemu-1xx-....vma.lzo) or CTs (vzdump-lxc-1xx-....tar.lzo), and I want to restore them in a clean Proxmox installation. I can...

    [SOLVED] TBS6909 driver installation on Proxmox VE 6.3

    Hi Thanks @t.lamprecht for your hint! Meanwhile I solved the problem! Instead of using the procedure described here: https://github.com/tbsdtv/linux_media/wiki, I used the one described inside the zip of the "TBS Open Source Linux Driver Offline Package" that can be obtained here...

    [SOLVED] TBS6909 driver installation on Proxmox VE 6.3

    Hi again I just noticed in my last post that in the end of command "make -j4" I got: make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.73-1-pve' What is strange since my current kernet is the 5.4.78-2-pve! The problem was that when I did the "apt update && apt -y upgrade", the kernel...

    Proxmox won't install - "A volume group called pve already exists".

    I know, I know that I can avoid all this by removing the M.2 disk but I wonder if I can simply "ignore" the disk with the old Proxmox. Please remind that my main goal is to do a Proxmox test installation on a SSD along with the presence of an old installation done in a M.2 disk. Why? Because is...

    Proxmox won't install - "A volume group called pve already exists".

    Hi I run into this problem when I was trying to install a newer Proxmox version (v6.3) on my server. I have a older one (v5.4) installed in a M.2 disk. My idea was to keep that M.2 disk unchanged to go back to it if something went wrong with this new installation. So I connected a new SSD in the...

    [SOLVED] Failed to start import ZFS pools by cache file

    In conclusion, despite the final solution was a simple "edititing of the fstab" I think this was only the final step of several things I tried before (most of them suggested by @H4R0 that I would like to thank once again). Now I will mark this topic as... SOLVED!

    [SOLVED] Failed to start import ZFS pools by cache file

    In another PC I already did the following sequence in a new Proxmox server that I just installed: - created a VM (100) - created its Backup file (from Proxmox WebGUI) - copied the backup file (/var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2020_09_20-15_27_57.vma.lzo) to a disk outside that PC - deleted the...

    Sorry to insist but... it is not possible to create the backups of the VMs from the cli in my current Proxmox state (in emergency mode but with ssh access and apparent full file system access?

    Yes, the FreeNAS VM is one of the Proxmox VMs, but that I can not access now! The Proxmox still goes to "emergency mode"! :( As I explained in the first post this problem happened after a reboot caused by a power failure. I though that this could be caused after making several snapshots of a...
