    GPU passthrough tutorial/reference

    @Dorin For my set up, my instructions are pretty complete (I've rebuilt it a few times now!). During my trials, I established that a romfile wasn't needed (as its a newer card with ACPI or something, I'm not quite sure). As for hidden modes, ISTR that the x-vga option in proxmox does this for...

    OpenMediaVault installation in LXC with attached HW block device

    I have hit the same issue as in the first post, but before I proceed with making it work I was just wondering if anyone considered just running it as a virtual machine instead of container? The purist in me would like to use a container, but the hacks required seem to be a little high...

    usb3=yes not working?

    The trick it seems is to manually add the usb devices. For eg: args: -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci -device usb-host,bus=xhci.0,hostbus=4,hostport=2 Omitting bus and addr seems to allow the nec-usb-xhci driver to assign to pcie. That said, my USB devices still don't like this and I'm getting...

    usb3=yes not working?

    So it seems that the VGA passthrough is the issue. For that to work I need: hostpci0: 01:00,pcie=1,x-vga=on Which in turn needs: machine: q35 And apparently nec-usb-xhci doesn't work with q35, as it is attached to a PCI slot instead of a PCIE slot (?) Any tips on how to fix this? The issue...

    No dice I'm afraid, I see the same issue: http://imgur.com/WiF5HOR

    usb3=yes not working?

    I'm trying to pass through a USB3 device as per: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/USB_Devices_in_Virtual_Machines As I am running PVE5.0, I understand that all I should need to do is set usb3=yes, so something like this: usb0: host:4-1,usb3=yes However this doesn't work. I do see a new xhci...

    Unprivileged Bind Mounts and multiple access

    Say I have 5 containers each running an application. For each I have bind mounted a directory: /mnt/container_data/container1 /mnt/container_data/container2 etc Where the application will contain all its application data. I now create a further container running a backup application. To that...

    GPU passthrough tutorial/reference

    I've not tried AMD myself, and although my instructions do refer to AMD (eg when blacklisting) they are by no means generic. That said, I don't see why they shouldn't work without some tweaking. Try messing with the bios of the host/guest, and check that your card is UEFI? I used Unigine Heaven...

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Thanks guletz, that worked a treat. This has opened up a bit of a rabbit hole for me I'm afraid! On reading, it really does seem that I don't want a cluster at all really - both nodes should/would run independently if they want to. If I turn two_node on, but leave wait_for_all as true, what...

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    I think this is what I want - care to elaborate how? Right now the entries are a bit superfluous and possibly even confusing.

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Thanks Denny. I went ahead and bit the bullet and things seem to be going well. I did notice that all my local lvm-thin volumes from node1 now have (inactive) entries on node 2. Why is that? The two nodes will have different storage HW and configuration so this seems a bit superfluous. OTOH...

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Thanks Mitch. That's kind of why I have zero expectation of HA / live migration facilities - I know my HW isn't up to scratch. I have no problem with maintenance downtime either. My question is whether creating a trivial cluster has any benefits - whether that's the ability to manage the two...

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Hmm. I think what I need is some kind of feature matrix comparing: 2 standalone nodes. 2 nodes as a cluster. 2 nodes + a "dummy" third node. I suspect I'm not quite after the features the third solution will give me (afaik: HA and live migration), so my question is: is the cheap (ie software...

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Do you need a third vacuous node at all? My understanding was that a third was needed just for HA (something I'm not necessarily looking for)

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    Also to add: would I be able to shut down one node without affecting the other? As I said I'm not too interested in the HA side of things (can HA be disabled?)

    That's great to hear, I'm glad it was of use. What bit helped exactly?

    Disadvantages of non-HA cluster?

    I have two nodes running at home. They each use local storage for images (backup, HA or fast migration aren't really necessary here), with each guests "manually" accessing a NAS for non transient data. I'm looking at running the two nodes in a cluster, if only to manage them from a single web...

    [SOLVED] Default file system?

    Thank you for the prompt reply. I'm not sure if its worth documenting this? Also is there a reason why ext4 was chosen? The same searches above seemed to indicate that ext3 was a better choice...

    [SOLVED] Default file system?

    According to the documentation I've read and searched for, ext3 is supposedly the default filesystem for proxmox installations. However on installing 4.4-1, it seems that it actually uses ext4. Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev devtmpfs 10240...
