    how to stop a replication job

    I couldn't find out what the command was that I was looking for. I suppose you're suggesting grepping for the command line "zfs send". When it comes to logs and finding out what is happening, generally I find what I'm looking for no problem, replication seems to be a bit harder to monitor...

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    ok, I have managed to replicate the issue with a cloned VM. and its not quite as reported previously. The file systems are mounted. I can call all binaries in /bin but anything in /usr/bin results in Input/output error. But as root I can touch a file in there and CAN write to it. Totally...

    how to stop a replication job

    I realised that the node it was replicating to had not active VM's so I just rebooted it and that broke the replication for me, and now its restarted using the correct network and is working beautifully. But I'd still like to know the graceful way to do that.

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    Thanks, I'll give this a go and see if I can make it happen on a clone. I expect it will be awkward and not want to happen if we're watching it. The kernel is pretty old, I looked into what it would take to transfer to a more modern VM or container and we have a lot of custom Binaries that may...

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    also forgot to mention, on restart the VM has disk errors consistent with a power off - which I guess is what you'd expect and snapshots also look like that as the system is running at the point of snapshot. If I call zfs scrub and check the pool, its perfectly fine, no errors are found. So I...

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    Hi, thanks for your reply. pversion output: proxmox-ve: 7.4-1 (running kernel: 5.15.64-1-pve) pve-manager: 7.4-3 (running version: 7.4-3/9002ab8a) pve-kernel-5.15: 7.4-1 pve-kernel-5.13: 7.1-9 pve-kernel-5.15.104-1-pve: 5.15.104-2 pve-kernel-5.15.83-1-pve: 5.15.83-1 pve-kernel-5.15.64-1-pve...

    how to stop a replication job

    I have a replication job that has been running for 20 hours and is blocking all the other replication jobs. Due to a change I need to abandon the running job. It should be using the migration network but wasn't configured correctly when started. Which is the best way to do this?

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    The VM records nothing. Our s The syslog is as if time stops at the point we have a problem. Note that the faulty snapshot occurred today at 7.11 and the last item in the syslog is 7.14 and I think this is some time after the snapshot concludes, I think it concluded about 7:11:08. Annoyingly...

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    I don't think thats a silly question. I have never seen that problem from a stopped one but I have not used that often because stopped isn't very useful. You'll remember that to cause an issue with disks disappearing the VM has to be running and restarting it restores them; ergo if its stopped...

    disks become unwritable after snapshot

    Still having the same issue as I've always had, and its really a showstopper for the use of proxmox for anything important. Have a VM imported from legacy KVM previous version of qemu. Everything runs perfectly fine except when you perform a backup to snapshot about 1/10 times this breaks the...

    Disable fs-freeze on snapshot backups

    The reason this hasn't been fixed despite being 1) a showstopper 2) known about for 18 months, is because its nothing to do with fsfreeze nor the guest agent. If you have a VM without guest agent, then you cannot issue fs-freeze and fs-thaw and the filesystems still break. Therefore the...

    VM IO Failure

    I recently migrated / imported a bunch of machines from KVM. Today one of them is throwing an IO error which doesn't appear to have caused an issue -but maybe just not discovered what that issue is yet, Mar 27 11:20:56 gesyar3 kernel: [948952.805107] EXT3-fs (vdb): error in ext3_new_inode: IO...

    [SOLVED] Use replication network

    I used ip command and when you do a backup that ramps up convincingly. It would be better if the network graphs show the interface breakdown.

    [SOLVED] Use replication network

    so... SInce thats configured as 200.5 I guess that means as per my last point - it probably already is working that way. And in fact, this confirms that the only way it can communicate with the PBS is via the replication network since 200 can't get to our 80 subnet. Awesome. That means it...

    [SOLVED] Use replication network

    Hi, I have a 3 node network and each node has two networks the primary 1Gbit and a secondary 10Gbit. We are using the secondary for replication. A backup server also has both these networks. Can the backups be made to go via the backup network? At the moment I think they are going via the...

    VM fails to boot on 7.3-6 [Booting From Rom]

    I got these machines to boot by substituting a different kernel. The closest I could find was 3.2 which is a fair jump and not recommended. Some compatibility issue has been introduced by a recent update that is for certain. I did think that 3.2 will work with much newer hardware and therefore...

    VM fails to boot on 7.3-6 [Booting From Rom]

    I have multiple legacy VM's that do not boot on the latest version, but ran fine on a recent but previous version. V7.3-6 Previous Version: V7.2-3, same machine, booted and at login prompt. They are identical machines, the newer server is restored from a backup. To check the backup I...

    Shared isn't Shared

    There is no reason at all you couldn't have shared storage with a single click at the data centre level, everything you need is already there, all you need to do is decide if its a common requirement or not. I thought perhaps it wasn't but people are saying it is, but its not for me to decide...

    [SOLVED] After host update: interrupted script address not found. scsi bus reset detected.

    We had this issue on a new cluster importing an old VM which worked previously. Had that SCSI error message and installing the older version over the top got them booting correctly. Now my worry is that updates have probably been installed at another 5 sites, but the nodes haven't' been...

    Shared isn't Shared

    That makes sense if it said "Marked as shared". It also means that the average search result for the entire internet regarding proxmox and shared is incorrect. If you look at the storage documentation its not actually clear. Now I look at it again it could be clearer especially if we're using...
