    Trying to mount an NFS share with username/password

    Thanks, Dominik. I tried it as v4 but that wasn't the cure, so I'll look into another form of sharing.

    Trying to mount an NFS share with username/password

    OK, let's try this a different way: Has anyone successfully mounted an NFS share that required a username/password?

    Trying to mount an NFS share with username/password

    I'm missing something really simple here. I've got a network share that's password protected. In /etc/pve/storage.cfg I changed the options line to state: options vers=3,username=myusername,password=mypassword (not my real username/password, of course.) When the backup task tries to...

    Optimizing proxmox

    As a related point, not directly related to your question, I saw this the other day: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2016/11/18/dont-do-it-consumer-ssd/ I thought it was a solid breakdown on performance issues between enterprise- and consumer-grade SSDs, and why you want the former...

    ZFS on Linux 0.7.7 Disappearing File Bug?

    This is actually the link I was looking for. No wonder I couldn't find it here.

    ZFS on Linux 0.7.7 Disappearing File Bug?

    There have been a couple of other threads about this, but I only saw one in a quick perusal of the forum. As I understand it, if you're using the enterprise repository you aren't affected.

    Looking for pointers on small business setup

    So, here's what he needs to know: RAID1 is a mirror. One drive fails and things keep on chugging. Two drives fail and you're screwed. RAID10 is a way to string lots of RAID1 mirrors together. You can get better speed this way, and recovering from one failed drive is faster than with the...

    Looking for pointers on small business setup

    If you dig around there are some recommendations, but I'd look at Samsung SM863 drives for an affordable cache disk. Size isn't all that important: basically ZFS is going to queue up disk writes and synch them all to disk every 5 seconds or so, and synchronous writes that happen between those 5...

    [SOLVED] ZFS 0.7.7

    I don't have any idea, but I'd assume so. I'm just monitoring to see how Proxmox wants us to react to this.

    KVM performance issues

    As a data point: on a Dell T30 pve I've got a mostly idle kvm web server that I just installed sysbench on. It gave me the following: Nothing fancy on that server at all, also running Centos 7.

    Proxmox | VMs | Virus protection

    I believe you can do this with a VLAN if your networking equipment also supports VLANs. Someone else should talk you through it though; I understand it but have never worked with it. You don't need to have segregated networks, but it really is a good idea...

    [SOLVED] Linux virtual machines poor IO perfomance over SSD

    Yep. Odds are you're measuring different things.

    Proxmox | VMs | Virus protection

    It's actually pretty simple. Think of it this way: You've got a proxmox machine. You can have a cluster, but conceptually it's the same. On this machine you have two network ports. One port is for communication with proxmox. This is a "safe" network, protected from the outside. The other...

    Proxmox | VMs | Virus protection

    What he said. Create a management network for the Proxmox hosts to live on, that you use to access them. Then create a virtual bridge that is used by your VMs that isn't addressable in Proxmox, so the VMs have access to their own network (maybe one that's not routable to the management...

    Time synchronization problem on Proxmox 5.1

    I was trying to help you isolate the problem. I had Proxmox problems because the machines in the cluster weren't using the same time, and ntp wasn't working its magic because when I'd configured the firewall I configured ntp using TCP ports. This didn't work because ntp uses udp so time sync...

    Time synchronization problem on Proxmox 5.1

    Just to be clear: same physical servers, same network rules, same IP addresses, install Proxmox = no time sync, install SUSE/Ubuntu and time sync works? I'm just trying to rule out network issues - in my case time problems were caused by a misconfigured firewall.

    Proxmox for Beginners

    In English it's "measure twice, cut once." Something a carpenter would say. Nice that it translates so well. :)
