    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Hi donhwyo, thank you for this reply. Very much appreciated. Good to hear the h200 works for someone as intended! I know firmware version is displayed at boot-time but that is a pain if you don't intend to reboot anytime soon. It is part of the messaging that goes by, ie, Dell Logo > CPU...

    [SOLVED] proxmox 7 / linux 5.11.22 issue with LSI 2008 controllers?

    Hi, thanks for the added thread content. I just double checked to confirm, Dell Perc H700 is an LSI 2108 chipset as per Dell tech ref > https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Shared-Content_data-Sheets_Documents/en/perc-technical-guidebook.pdf and Dell Perc h200 is based on LSISAS2008/62114B1 I...

    Thank you for the reply. Added details: > I realize the UBSAN is a warn now. ie, bit of a red herring I should ignore. > I have already updated the system as follows (a) new / latest BIOS for mainboard in the dell r815 (b) raid card (perc 700) was on latest firmware from Dell, I had problem...

    Q: ISO installer for 'edge-kernel' proxmox available?

    Hi everyone, I am trying to debug a problem and hoping for a gentle kick in correct direction I'm trying to figure out if there is a pre-cooked proxmox installer ISO that can be downloaded which has "Edge Proxmox Kernel" present in the installer media I ask because - I've got a dell r815 -...

    [SOLVED] proxmox 7 / linux 5.11.22 issue with LSI 2008 controllers?

    just pinging this thread to ask status (2 weeks later I think approx?) I am asking because I'm trying to sort out a new-install proxmox-latest on a Dell R815 with a PERC h700 which also uses mpt3sas driver and I cannot get proxmox to work with the device. Even with addition of kernel boot...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Ping? does anyone have any thoughts comments? I am still baffled why MPT_SAS is so busted on this hardware with more recent linux/proxmox; but it works fine with an ancient Sysrescue/10year old boot media. Thank you. (!!)

    Reclaim disk space in LXC raw images

    A footnote on this thread in case it helps others. I came here via google search quite a while after this was an active thread but still seems relevant. I've got a fairly current (Proxmox 7.4) cluster setup of a few nodes. And I've noted that LXC Containers - if I migrate from one node to...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Hi, here are some photo snips of dmesg / errors from various attempts, with brief text to try to help give context and clarify. these are all with h700 card, and a pair of 1Tb SSD attached with a single raid mirror volume defined. First error ref from Proxmox-latest installer key text error...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Thank you. That is a good suggestion. I agree, my feeling that MPT SAS was expected for me to be "a no brainer, easy good reliable because super standard and extremely well supported". Hence all my frustration with this. With my test work yesterday - On new-current Debian and Proxmox, there is...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    A small followup on this. I banged my head on this problem again today. I thought I was being clever, I got my hands on a nicer H700 raid card which is better version of the h200. I foolishly assumed that the better HW Raid features of the h700 might make it work better. Alas I have the same...

    Q: Install on dell r815 / PERC H200i raid / broadcom gig nic "fun"- comments ?

    Follow up on this thread. It seems there is a known bug in the megasas config / driver as per discussion here with workaround in theory, If you are using BIOS add it in grub, nano /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet mpt3sas.max_queue_depth=10000" alas for me, I used Debian.12...

    do_start: 1272 Failed to setup container "100" sync_wait: 34 An error occurred in another process (expected sequence number 4) __lxc_start: 2107 Faile

    Ok - thank you. I think it is ok to park this topic unless I get any more issues here in which case I'll be sure to update with a current / relevant log. The system seems to be working well since then so I am pretty sure it was a transitory issue. Thanks! Tim

    OK! Here is snip from output from journalctl -b-1 which maybe is of relevant time and maybe of slight interest/use? Jul 27 07:54:34 proxmox pvedaemon[164630]: <root@pam> successful auth for user 'root@pam' Jul 27 07:54:54 proxmox pvedaemon[95451]: <root@pam> starting task...

    more footnote, wow your reply was fast. I didn't even note you had replied until after I posted my (above) footnote. Here is bit more info for ref - not big deal but just to be a bit more complete root@proxmox:~# pveversion pve-manager/8.0.3/bbf3993334bfa916 (running kernel: 6.2.16-5-pve) and...

    Footnote on my note, I just rebooted the proxmox node, and things were OK - LXC services were fine after reboot and the OpenVPN LXC Debian container I had prepped - is now fine / no drama. I am not entirely clear why the LXC service(s) were in a stop state when I was working on this earlier...

    Hi, just a small bump on this. I did a clean setup yesterday of (a) Debian-12 latest minimal on Linux SW Raid stock config (b) Proxmox-latest on top of this (c) In a manner I have done in the past without drama; but today is first one with latest (Prox8/Deb12) for me. (ie, in the past I've done...
