    The PVE 5.3 release notes says: "The distributed file system CephFS eliminates the need for external file storage such as NFS or Samba and thus helps reducing hardware cost and simplifies management." 1.

    How to setup an existing Postfix-Mailserver for PMG

    Thank you for your quick reply. Q5: Does PMG save a copy of each email and is this accessible from interface? Say there is an issue and I want to find the specific email from the specific sender and view its content, how can I do that in PMG? Q6: How do I implement end-to-end email encrypted...

    How to install the LSI Megaraid SAS driver

    I have tried these packages and they work with respect to using it as a command line tool. I have not been able to connect the storage manager interface to proxmox. I believe that these are the commands that I am able to currently use: megaraidsas-status megaclisas-status megacli

    Proxmox VE on a SSD

    - Do you remember the amount of disk space left in your array when you started experiencing problems? - Was your controller using its cache or did you enable write through? We are currently running an 8 disk RAID10 with Vertex 3 max iops, with LSI MegaRaid 9265-8i + FastPath. So far we have no...

    Backup does not complete and get error: Can't remove open logical volume

    Thanks. I just tried that. But the question is whether things will then complete on their own or whether I have to still kill vznap? If I have to kill it, how would I do that since it lvremove doesn't work?

    Backup does not complete and get error: Can't remove open logical volume

    we upgraded another server with Proxmox 1.9 (raid 10, sas drives, so IO is not an issue) and the backup ran yesterday and worked for most of the containers except for 3. In /etc/vzdump.conf we have size: 2048. In the vzdump logs we get. Mar 18 06:53:09 INFO: Starting Backup of VM 600...

    Proxmox VE on a SSD

    What are the exact issues that you ended up having with SSDs after half a year? Could you please be more specific? - Have you tried to take the SSD disks out one at the time and reformat them to see if they would get their performance back? - What is the total capacity of your SSD-based raid 5...

    PLease HELP recover container from cancelled vzmigrate

    No storage is not shared.. but more importantly this does not happen from the interface. It happened from running the vzmigrate command from the terminal (so I could copy 60GB through a private network instead of the internet).

    PLease HELP recover container from cancelled vzmigrate

    Thanks for your advice. However we use proxmox 1.9. After some digging into the filesystem I found some partial files inside /var/lib/vz/vztmp I am not sure if these are partial files from a previous failed backup or from the migration I attempted to do. Do you know what exactly writes in...

    PLease HELP recover container from cancelled vzmigrate

    No it was not.. it is a 60GB container. I ran the command vzmigrate <nodeip> <containerID> But just a few seconds into it I cancelled the command. So my logical thought is that the container would remain were it was because vzmigrate was cancelled. On the contrary it was not copied into the...

    Centos 6 OpenVZ template

    Well this is an issue you should fix. I was not able to add the centos 6 openvz template unless I renamed x86_64 to and64. the problem is that no one said this should be done, yet proxmox fails to accept the upload unless this is done. So either proxmox need to be fixed or this needs to be...
