    [TUTORIAL] How to create an LVM-Thinpool and Vz directory on the same disk.

    If you mean from proxmox VE you would goto Datacenter > storage > click on the one you want to remove, then click the remove button. if you mean to erase the drive, do as the guide shows at the top, but understand this wipes out the entire device, meaning all partitions on that drive. #wipe...

    [TUTORIAL] bootable NVME install on old hardware made easy with pcie adapter and clover

    My 1TB nvme is installed into an nvme pcie adapter (these can be bought for like $10) First you simply install proxmox to the NVME, this is straight forward just like installing to a hard drive, the problem comes in to play when you try booting from the NVME, older bios do not support that...

    Proxmox slow file transfer performance

    I am currently investigating this on my system. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with plasma desktop. What I have found is that if I use dolphins built in sftp functionality then files transfer 35-50 MiB/s. If I mount the share in fstab using cifs OR use rsync then I get full speed. rsync -avxe ssh...

    unable to install: "no cdrom found"

    hmmm, well you could try installing the disk on another machine and then moving the boot disk back to the poweredge r710. The USB worked for me when created in Rufus using DD mode, I installed the PC in BIOS mode not UEFI.

    Change the defaults for 'Backup Now'

    To change the default Backup mode for "Backup Now" from Snapshot to Stop: sed -i 's/value: 'snapshot',/value: 'stop',/' /usr/share/pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js I think an ideal way for this to function instead were if it simply remembered the last setting you used, but it dont sound like...

    [TUTORIAL] How to create an LVM-Thinpool and Vz directory on the same disk.

    I wanted to add a disk, and primarily use it as a Thinpool, and I also wanted some directory storage for images and templates on the same disk. The guide here shows how to do it: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#chapter_lvm However its not as simple as copy and paste. You...

    Change the defaults for 'Backup Now'

    I just came here looking for this, was hoping to change the default mode for the "Backup now" button to use Stop instead of Snapshot, and also to use a different Storage location. So far using proxmox has been a real treat once up and running. I only had two issues and they were during the...

    Keyboard does not work during installation

    I am having this issue right now on a Supermicro X9SCM. The funny thing is the mouse is working, but the cursor is invisible. (whats up with that, are you guys trolling me?) I can move the mouse around randomly click left and right, and it will eventually pop up a menu, this allowed me to guess...

Rufus expect the .iso should be written in .iso mode which is what version 3+ does. you need to download an...
