    Hi Guys, I just tried the following: - Upgrade pve to latest version - Reboot pve host - unlock zfs encryption - Start the container → not working - delete the container - delete the folder „/datapool-01/vm-crypt/subvol-108-disk-0“ and the subfolder dev manually - restore the container from...

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    Hi, did you try it with an encrypted zfs volume that has to been unlocked after boot? As I wrote before: I read in other threads, that there seems to be a problem with containers not starting after pve reboot if the zfs pool fails to mount during boot time. I don't have that issue, the pool...

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    Hi, I have just just shut down all the VMs and the lxc container and rebooted the host. Same result. The VMs are starting fine, the container is not. So I guess this is a bug ? Can I do anything to help to fix this somehow? cheers, Michael

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    Hi, well, I have just shut down all the VMs, rebooted the host, unlocked the dataset first and THEN tried to start the container -> no luck (log file attached) If there is an issue with the volume then I have no idea what could have caused it. As I wrote: The disks of the "regular" VMs...

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    the lxc container is not set to auto boot. But I am not sure if I might have clicked manually on "Start" before unlocking the encrypted dataset. I guess I have to reboot the host again... where am I supposed to look for the file after the mount? "/var/lib/lxc/108/rootfs/" ? there is only...

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    lxc container on zfs won't start after reboot of pve host

    Hi Oguz thanks for your reply! :) You can find the log file attached :) regarding the workaround from the other thread: Do you mean these two commands ? zpool set cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache POOLNAME. initramfs: update-initramfs -u -k all. I don't think that the pool doesn't get...

    [SOLVED] Container starten nach Proxmox Neustart nicht mehr

    Good Morning! I've got a similar issue for my lxc container after a reboot of the pve host. (mount_autodev: 1074 Permission denied - Failed to create "/dev" directory) The "regular" KVM VMs on the same zfs pool are starting fine, only the lxc won't. I think the reason might not be, that...

    Request: Optional monthly backups

    Hi, I changed the vzdump.cron file to my needs. I'd like to start a backup every 1st monday of a month (0 0 1 ? * 2#1 *) I cheated a little bit with this website: https://freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html ;) I guess I will see if it works in a few weeks :)...

    Request: Optional monthly backups

    +1 for monthly backup options ! or better granularity for backup jobs in general. Like "first monday" "every uneven week" etc. :)

    Proxmox and Citrix?

    Hi well yes, most of the Citrix software is proprietary – except for XenServer and parts of ADC maybe. But that shouldn’t be an issue. You wouldn't have to change one thing at Proxmox VE. MCS ist mostly a tool to tell the hypervisor what to do via an API. For example: You want to create 200...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox unexpected behavior after installation

    Hi I just ran into a quite similar issue today. I did a dd on the first 1 GB of the disks which made them look like they were clean but ZFS seems to store some information at the end of the disk too. So they were not… The destroy command with the ID as reference did not work – it looks like it...

    Hi Tom thanks for your help!! I tried the 2 x CTRL-D and it seems as I can now access the zvols. But I still got some more questions :-) I got an IP from the DHCP server but there are no cifs-utils present to mount a share for exporting my VMs. Any idea how to work around this? And...

    Create a PROXMOX iso on Debian

    I second that! I am about to set up a Proxmox server with two SSDs (enterprise grade) in ZFS RAID1 and I am concerned what I would do if something “terrible” happens to the OS. Like it won‘t boot after an update, or I accidentally messed it up while doing something stupid or things like that...
