    FreeBSD 9 can't boot - stuck on kbd1 at kbdmux0

    Hi necaccs, Is upgrading to PVE 8.1 and trying there an option for you? There have been some threads about *BSD not booting (different symptoms) on some 8.0 versions (that did boot on 7.x), which have since been resolved.

    Inconsistencies with VM console connections.

    Wohoo, thanks for posting back :-) Still a bit unsatisfactory to not know the cause in the first place ;-)

    Inconsistencies with VM console connections.

    Hi Azunai, I did mean apt upgrade Thank you for the heads-up! I am quite surprised a regular apt upgrade, with no forcing, would break an installation. What I could imagine, in a cluster, is that one node has some specific packages installed that are not installed on another, and that these...

    Inconsistencies with VM console connections.

    Ah, then it is good to know: apt update pulls the latest package definitions; after this the apt package database is up-to-date (this way the GUI can show you upgrades are pending) apt upgrade pulls the actual changes; after this your system is up-to-date Automatic application of security...

    Linux VM not possible to power off

    I habitually type shutdown -hP now, but now that I check on a current Debian installation, I see that --poweroff is the default. I don't type extra letters because they come for free, I recall there being a different default previously that necessitated the -hP options. What is the default...

    Linux VM not possible to power off

    Hi Mrt12, I expect this database not only takes long to backup, but also ages to shut down (depending on usage and storage speed). Seeing you do have backups, would it be an option to decouple this database from the rest of the system, and import it into another container that you can...

    high performance high availabilty advice needed

    Hi tenfoldinaus, While your splashing on hardware, I have some more useless advice: invest in a keyboard with a working "shift" and "point" key, besides caps lock and comma. It will you when you try to write your story, and give people who might help you the idea that you take them serious.

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    I have no idea :-( If it were my environment, I'd like to know the cause, but without any progress and seeing the other VMs don't have this problem, I'd rebuild a new instance of the machine. Maybe another visitor has a suggestion!

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    With machine, do you mean only a single VM (what I understood) or a single PVE installation out of many? What do you mean with that? Something like, "According to Windows, there is nothing to write to disk"?

    I have a bridge configured and working, it's just no faster than the 1gig NIC?

    Hi RobGranger, Is that a statement or a question? :-P You posted enough data, but missing a helping hand in what you want to show, I only noticed this bit: Did you put the asterixes there to attract our attention, or is that part of the output? Anyway, with that configuration I would be...

    Windows KVM IO freezing

    Hi galileon, Welcome to the forums! Is it always the same machine, or if not, always the same set of machines? If so, is there a (shared) piece of software/service that has different characteristics from the other machines?

    Hanging at "loading initial ramdisk"

    Hi comi, Welcome to the forums! is a very short description of your reason to post :-) Do you mean that you also have trouble with reliability of your power grid? You can open new threads for free ;-) So if your problem is not the same, you could try starting a new thread (with some more...

    Problem with VM installation

    Could you try removing the CD player? I added a CD player once, without any media, and the BIOS would not offer me a boot option for the hard disk anymore: only 'default' (which did not boot), 'CD' and 'network'. I don't know how to enter the (virtual) BIOS and change its settings, so I...

    Problem with VM installation

    Hi TheRocky, Welcome to the forums! My first thought when starting to read your story, I wondered "Would a container not solve the problem?", which apparently you already tried. Out of interest, what makes you prefer a VM over of a container? To get help on the VM-problem, make it easy for...

    [SOLVED] Please assist on correct process for adding LVM in 4 node cluster using SAN

    Hi unassassinable, Storage added on one node will become visible on the other nodes. Please refer to alexskysilk's post for advice ; the result for storage in the threeview of my cluster is as follows: All my storage has unique names (except for 'local'), so you'll notice that the same...

    Inconsistencies with VM console connections.

    Hi Tim Ryan, That looks like SSH dropping an incoming connection. Stackexchange got a thread discussing some possible causes, troubleshoots and workarounds. Were the servers 1-5 upgraded from PVE 7 (or earlier), with perhaps an other default algorithm for key generation?

    Problem with Free BSD VMs on latest Version of Proxmox 8.0.4

    Edit: I was on the wrong page of the thread when I added the configuration details for the working VM. Great that the culprit is found and the problem is in the process of being solved!

    Sick of VMware, questions about setting up HA on Proxmox

    "Yes", on both counts, I'd say. Apart from writing down the serial and the location, you could might label the disks physically and write down the label info together with the serial and location; You can see the info of the drives in the web interface, see attached screenshot; double click...
