If it’s all in /var/log can always redirect that to a slower and more robust disk.

I was thinking about this just the other day. Either this, or a cut-down product. I’m essentially using Proxmox as a really good web UI alternative to virt manager, for literally just three or four VMs on a single machine. I don’t use Ceph or multiple nodes, or VM migration.

Update - through sheer brute force fiddling with VM properties, the issue I'm facing seems to be some combination of 'balloon memory' setting in KVM, and passing through GPUs separately. These things work: Single VM with balloon memory on, and either or both GPUs passed-through Two VMs with...

I have Proxmox 6.3 and trying to start a Linux VM. I see the following logs - then the whole PC crashes! I'm not sure how to get more verbose logs, or to see what's happening with 'query-proxmox-support', and why that would be timing out? Mar 26 07:27:46 pve systemd[1]: Started 100.scope. Mar...

I'm trying to pass-through two different GPUs, to two different VMs, at the same time. What's really peculiar is that I can passthrough both GPUs to *one* VM fine. But if I passthrough to two different guest VMs, I get an instant crash of the machine. I've ensured BIOS set to Gen 3 PCI. IOMMU...

Thanks on the warning re games. I don't tend to play multi-player stuff (which IIUC is why VMs are banned to prevent cheating). In fact, the only 'serious' games I play are VR - hence really trying to make the most of a single machine. Good suggestion on the NAS - I do happen to have a little...

Thanks @aaron Presumably I can't effectively mirror without losing the PCI4 speed of my WD drive. I'll also look into reduce writes by PVE (guessing things like noatime etc)

I have a NAS that only has a gbit connection. Wondering if there's a way to use an SSD drive to cache access to it? When I try to Google this, it seems to mostly be about speeding up the NAS itself (for which there's no point given I only have gbit lan)

If I pass through the whole NVMe drive to an Ubuntu guest, it *can* see the speed data. So I guess it's just a Proxmox 6.3 / Linux 5.4.x kernel limitation? Within the guest: 00:1b.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp Device 5011 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) Subsystem...

I have three nvme drives - Proxmox is giving full PCI details for the Samsung ones, but for my new WD 850 there's two odd things: 1. It appears as "Non-Volatile memory controller: Sandisk Corp Device 5011 (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express])" Is that because WD uses a Sandisk controller? 2...

I've been reading a lot of posts about storage layout options. My general takeaway is that: 1. The answer always comes down to requirements. 2. There's a vast difference in requirements In my case, requirements are strictly home-nerd/software developer/very occasional gamer - so huge clusters...

Sorry I just realised that question should be for @srwhite

@timbrook - I've just been tearing my hair out facing this exact issue, before trying a spare USB3 ethernet adapter, and it working fine: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/just-trying-pve-6-3-for-the-first-time-i-cant-get-guest-network-access.85880/ I forgot I'd changed my motherboard since I...

Now I'm Googling 'Intel I225-V "qemu"', and found a similar problem in this forum: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/vms-not-getting-dhcp-response-and-are-unaccessible.82383/

Grrrr... Darn it, darn it, darn it. This is a HARDWARE issue with my motherboard. Plugged in a USB3 ethernet adapter and it worked. I wasted so much time on this, and it was nothing to do with Proxmox, my routers, or the VM. Apparently the Intel I225-V is a problem...

Just one thing to add - in the guest VM, I ran tcpdump -vv. I've seem some ARP traffic, so there's at least *some* connectivity.

In the past I used QEMU/KVM, and had bridged networking working ok with my Unifi setup. My guest VMs managed to get an IP and network/internet access. I've now setup PVE (all defaults) and although PVE host has full network/internet access, the Ubuntu guest does not. Config: cat /etc/hosts...

I think I’ll go with with option 1 - waaaay too much judgment here.

Sorry, I should state the hardware: 3900x 32 gb 1x512gb nvme 1x1tb nvme rtx3080 gt 1030 (chosen as about the fastest single slot low profile card I could find) my itx mobo has a spare 3rd nvm slot (on my x8x4x4 bifurcator), and unused sata ports. im trying to decide between having the Linux...

I essentially have no use for Windows or high powered GPUs, except for one thing: gaming in VR. I totally loved HL:Alex, and waiting for the next one (of that style - not necessarily a sequel). I hate to see all the other components go to waste in between so considering one of two options...
