Good day, I want to set up a new Proxmox server and I am unsure what the best setup is. I want a Samba File Server, with ZFS as the underlying file system to make use of the advanced ZFS features like snapshots and so on. Besides that, I also need a couple of other virtual machines for other...

Hi all, I thought I mastered the understanding of how ZFS reports disk usage, but I was wrong :-) I have a VM that has a disk having a size of 6TB: 6010GB, to be exact. This VM is, together with others, on a server having a 16TB raidz-2. And the weird thing is that this morning I got an email...

I have a general question because I think I misunderstood something about Proxmox. I have two nodes, and I have configured ZFS on both of them. On node 0, my ZFS pool is called "pond", whereas on my node 1, the ZFS pool is called "tank". I want the disk images of my VMs and CTs to reside on the...

Hi, so I have tried the setup as shown above yesterday. The PVE server was connected to a "normal" ethernet port on the switch. Then, LACP was enabled on a other port of the switch, I enabled LACP in the Proxmox control panel and connected the ethernet cable between the 2nd port of my server and...

sure, I did that! for now, I have LACP not yet enabled, however, I still wanted to try out how I shall configure the bond. I did it like so: as you can see, I have configured the server's IP address and gateway in the vmbr0, and not in the bond. Is that correct? I tried to remove the IP...

perfect. I will try it soon. Hopefully I will do it right :-) thank you!

Hi Aaron thanks for this clarification. That is indeed not a dramatic restriction. When configuring the LACP, I assume I need to add a Linux Bond and add my two ethernet ports to it. Then, I guess I need to remove the two ports from the vmbr0 bridge and instead, add the vmbr0 to the bond, right?

Hi Aaron, thanks for the info. I do not use HA and don't plan to. I mainly use the cluster because it allows me to move VMs around, and administer both nodes in one place. Also, at the moment I don't have a separate connection for corosync. My servers do both have only 2 ethernet NICs.

Hello, I have a NAS where I configured LACP to increase its network bandwidth. My switch supports LACP and it does work fine. However the NAS shall also be accessed from a couple Proxmox VMs. To increase the bandwidth for Proxmox as well, I would like to use LACP here, too. However I am unsure...

A friend added two users on my Proxmox installation, so both of us could log in with their own credentials. However he does not use his account any more so I deleted his account in the shell via "userdel". I did not know that the user management was possible via the web GUI! So the user...

that did the trick. Cool, thanks!

dear oguz, MANY thanks for your hint! Today, I tried it and it works! I did it as follows: in the "storage" view, one can show the configuration of a VM which was used when it was backed up. So I made a fresh installation of Proxmox, then I created a new VM and renamed the ZFS subvolumes...

Dear colleagues OK I've got a PVE node in my cluster whose system disk crashed. So the Proxmox installation with all its settings on this particular node is lost. However I believe that the ZFS pool on the other disk should still be alive, and I do have full backups of all my VMs. Two...

I have a physical PC with a mdadm RAID that I would like to migrate to proxmox. There are two disks of 80GB each in RAID1 configuration. I first tried to clone them via Clonezilla, but that didnt work. So how should I copy my physical disks into proxmox such that I can virtualise this physical...

Hi oguz, thanks a lot! Hmm I will test that and let you know if it works. Yesterday it seemed a bit odd to me that each file got its x bit set.

One additional thing: I just realised that every file created within this mount point has the 'x' bit set. Why is this and how can I avoid it? (inside the container) # ls -al total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 18 16:36 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 25 Feb 18 16:41 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root...

Hi oguz, yes I saw that. Indeed the uid/gid needs to be set correctly. However I am unsure how I shall do that when I mount the Samba/CIFS share? so far I tested it as follows: (on the PVE host) mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=test123,gid=100000,uid=100000 //server/share /srv/share...

Hi, I have a container in which I would like to run a webserver (for Nextcloud). The data storage of this web server shall be on a NAS, which is mounted via Samba. I first thought that I can mount the Samba share on the host and then "redirect" it to the container via a bind mount, but the...

Hi guys, sorry for my late reply. I tried qm unlock and it didn't help. However, I didn't reboot the server since approx. 180 days, and because I have a cron job which does regular updates, the system was updated but still running an "older" kernel. For some reason this resulted in different...

Hi guys, I have a Windows VM where I had one old snapshot. Today, I wanted to migrate the VM to another PVE node, and this gave me the following error: Cannot migrate VM with local CD/DVD. The reason was that the VM had a DVD drive while I made the snapshot, but now I removed the DVD drive...
