    VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR in a Windows VM - workarounds?

    Just to be clear, Promox 7 is working very well for me. I'm posting here because I know there's lots of Qemu experience. I'm finding using a particular tool called AquaSuite causes my Windows 10 VM to crash with VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR, but only after 10 minutes or so. It works fine...

    Proxmox just died with: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10

    @ejkeebler - and anyone else reading this in the future. It turned out adding extra power didn't fix the issue. In my case I think it's because the SSD wasn't quite seated correctly. It's extremely confusing behavior however, why would an SSD work for a while, and then stop, if it's just not...

    My Promox server shutdown cleanly, without me asking

    Thanks for response. It's only standalone. If it were part of a cluster though, would there be some indication in the logs that was the cause? Yes - I'm the sole owner, and it's a machine on my desktop. The power button is located such that's it's not easy to accidentally press. Forunately...

    My Promox server shutdown cleanly, without me asking

    I don't understand why my Promox server shutdown. In the logs I see the 'replication runner' over and over, until then I see things are shutting down cleanly. Thing is, I don't understand what triggered that? 103 is a Windows VM. I see some UPS messages, but UPS didn't lose power, and the...

    Roadmap for EDK2/OVMF version?

    Hi I'm keen to try resizable bar in a Windows 10 guest with passed-through GPU. So far as I know this commit gets it into EDK2 (which if I understand correctly is the source for OVMF BIOS in Promox/QEMU): https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/1351 It looks like Proxmox 6.4 has 2.2020 from...

    Proxmox just died with: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10

    I think I may have fixed it. In my case I have several devices attached by PCIe, two on the motherboard, and three on a bifurcator: On the motherboard: x4 PCIe 3.0 Samsung 970 Evo Plus x4 PCIe 4.0 WD SN850 On the bifurcator in x8x4x4 mode (all PCIe 3.0): x8 RTX 3080 (with 2x6-pin...

    [SOLVED] Windows 10 VMs using thin pool, both linked clones of same template. One with lower disk usage has much higher backup size

    I'm backing up two Windows 10 VMs, both from the same linked Windows VM clone, and both quite recent. Both are linked clones of the same template, and have only been setup for a few days. I'm taking both backups using the same ZSTD / snapshot settings, and both while the VMs are shut down (so...

    Proxmox just died with: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10

    I was playing a game on a Windows VM, and it suddenly paused. I checked the Proxmox logs, and saw this: [268690.209099] nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0xffffffff, PCI_STATUS=0x10 [268690.289109] nvme 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [268690.289234] nvme nvme0...

    Does performance of linked clone get significantly worse with more and more guest OS updates?

    I've got linked clones working for both Linux and Windows 10 guests. However, I'm concerned that say one or two years down the line the cumulative updates in the linked clones (that aren't in the base image) will mean a significant performance penalty. Or does it just mean extra storage? Is...

    Is there a host-passthrough vs host-model distinction in Proxmox? Can only see 'host'

    Generally with my Ryzen 3900x I'd use 'host-passthrough', but in Proxmox I only see 'host'. When I used 'host' in Proxmox, my Windows 10 VM crashed. It works with EPYC IBPB however. Which should I use?

    How to set 'threads' kvm option from GUI?

    Coming from virt-manager I'm used to setting threads as well as cores. So for my 3900x, I sometimes use 1 cpu, 12 cores, 2 threads. However, there doesn't seem to be an option to do that in Proxmox.

    Is there any way to change the default /template/iso dir?

    May I ask what the rationale is for this please?

    Is there any way to change the default /template/iso dir?

    I setup a connection to my NAS to store ISOs, and I was surprised to see Proxmox insists on its own directory path on my NAS, rather than me being able to choose. I know I could setup a symlink from template/iso myself, but there's still an odd looking 'template' dir in my root.

    Storage planning for new installation

    One thing leaps out here - 30x “write amplification”. Do you have any more info on that, or why exactly this is please? regarding Proxmox itself, for home use I guess limiting logging might be a good idea (why write so many logs you generally never need to look at), or writing logs to tmpfs...

    Attempted enabling Ryzen AVIC support, kernel oops on newer kernel

    May I ask if you got this working please? I recently noticed 4k random reads/writes are 25% slower through a VM, and AVIC has been mentioned as a solution.

    Raw LVM partition - 4k random reads just 15% of native performance

    I have a WD SN850 that shows 3700MB/s random reads and 3000MB/s random writes. I'm using a 64GB LVM partition (no snapshots) on that drive within a Windows VM, and the same test shows only 540MB/s read and 530MB/s write. I've tried using the 'IO thread' option, that made a very small...

    can't get access internet

    Sorry by not working, I mean not working in Proxmox, not physically broken. The newer it is, the more likely. You might see something in dmesg - in my case it was essentially an inherent problem with my NIC model that’s only worked around in newer kernels. Difficult to determine, because it...

    Kernel 5.11

    What’s actually in the Proxmox-specific kernel? So far as I can tell from the repo it’s just a few patches like ACS. if we don’t need those patches, are we ok to use Debian buster kernel (support notwithstanding)?

    can't get access internet

    Are you sure your NIC is working? I spent ages on a similar issue only to find the NIC on my motherboard had a quirk not fixed or backported to kernel 5.4, which is not on the Proxmox 6.3 ISO. If you have an alternative connection you can update and get kernel 5.11 automatically now. Otherwise...
