I wonder if some kind person would offer some advice please? I'm wondering what proxmox-related services need a service restart after an update for them is installed ? Or even mandate a node reboot (other than the kernel, of course)? Right now I'm thinking in particular of the qemu-server...

There's probably a better way, but if you use lvdisplay you'll see the mapped size. e.g. 1TB allocated, 83.82% used: LV Size 1000.00 GiB Mapped size 83.82%

You can create a VM, then make it a Template. From that you can re-create a new VM very quickly, with one click (or maybe more than one really, but it is very very quick and simple). You can also take a backup of a VM, and generate new VMs from that backup, again with only a few clicks. In all...

I'm not clear what you want to do, exactly, but: If you have a vma (backup) then you can restore the backup as a new VM, running in parallel with the current VM. In Proxmox, go to the Storage where the backup is held, and you'll see you can restore it as a new VM with a new IP. Be sure to...

Yes, exactly tight. /etc/hosts might look like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.1.104 hostname-of-vm-you-are-logged-into Basically you just need to add...

Essentially, the hostnames are just strings of letters and numbers and could be anything at all. For machine A to be able to ping hostname, it needs to know the IP. To know the IP, it needs somewhere to look them up. Proxmox itself does not have any facility for this. If your router doesn't...

@pdontcheff I'm not sure the issue is the same as we're discussing (disk images that were absolutely fine suddenly losing MBR/partition table and become unbootable with "not a bootable disk") but maybe there's a connection with what you have experienced and I appreciate your post. I've been...

Several people have posted about problems with VMs not booting with "no Bootable Media found" errors recently. Yes, we're only taking about 2 or 3 users posting about a problem out of many, many thousands, but it is clearly not an isolated incident with only one user being unlucky and...

Is there a common element here? I see one post that indicates an NFS share in use. What about the other users? Also the original posts in this thread are from 2016. That's a long time ago. What happened back then is not necessarily an issue now. I think it would have better to creat a new post...

no, I don't recommend installing anything on the host. Do it all in a Container. I'm using awscli (1) which allows me to synchronise, in a similar way as rsync, the backup files created by Proxmox using vzbackup. The Container has access to these files using a bindmount. Why not install awscli...

An alternative option is as follows: 1) Backup using vzbackup (Proxmox native) to local storage. 2) Create a LXC Container with READ ONLY* access to the backup location (by creating a bindmount) 3) Use Amazon's native tools for S3 sync and modify to use Wasabi (I've not done this but I think it...

I do wish there was better *system* backup built-in for node configuration. Not everybody uses ZFS/Ceph, and sometimes those of us who don't can feel a little left out (I know it isn't intentional, but that's still how it feels). Kamzata, I like the look of your script. I just think that an...

Ah! OK. that's very interesting. Thank you.

I'm wondering if anybody can offer me any advice on handling large VM disk volumes We only use RAID10 local storage, no ZFS, no Ceph. We copy backups to a second node and also to S3. I have a customer with a VM that has a 500GB disk in lvm-thin. He's used almost all his allocation. Backing it...

I'm confused (again) - this time about predictable network names. I have two *on-board* Ethernet ports enabled on a Dell server running PM 5.4 (this system has always been 5.x from the start) My network interface names are en0 and en1 # ls /sys/class/net/ eno1 eno2 lo vmbr0 I believe...

Well, on a conventional setup, you just add the IP and it just works. I have Centos 7 VMs with up to 10 IPs. Nothing is done in Proxmox, all in Centos itself. Have you done anything unusual with a firewall, either at OVH or in Proxmox? Does OVH require you to do something unusual to get...

I don't think you'll get 2:1 compression unless your disk image only contains plain text. There are too many things that are pre-compressed, at least to an extent. e.g. videos and images. Sure, plain text might be 2:1 or better. Having said that, if it fails at 38% I'm not sure what kind of...

It isn't just Crucial. I had the same problem on a brand new system with Dell Enterprise SSDs and ended up just ignoring the alerts.

Ah, I think that might be related to ZFS snapshots (it mentions ZFS and Ceph). That's there the difference between a VM Snapshot, and a filesystem snapshot, causes confusion. What they appear to be doing is filesystem snapshots. Some form of CDP, possibly. How best to protect your particular...

I think I'm 90% correct in saying: A full backup copies the content of the VM's disk into a backup file. You can later mount this in order to extract or view a single file. In theory you could create a clone or temporary copy of your VM by restoring a new VM from the backup. And of course you...
