What do you recommend to use to back up the rootfs? Rsync? Tar?

New DRBD Proxmox packages available now (release date: 6 March 2018).

Hi Guys, Why is it that the network configuration below, on the same server, works great with Proxmox 5.1 & Debian 9, but does not boot with Proxmox 3.4 & Debian 7 (just replaced eno1 and eno2 with eth0 and eth1 in Debian 7)? root@srv2:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet...

Not being able to set disk quotas for individual users inside a container seems to be a disadvantage for ZFS if you have several hundred users. I suppose this restriction can be circumvented by assigning a separate container to each user, installing a lightweight linux distro and setting up a...

Dark26, is this solution working for you? What do you have in your fstab for the mount point?

I still don't understand how you are able to use XFS for the container's raw file when LXC containers seem to have been hard-wired to use ext4? Do you mind briefly running through it?

Is LXC support for GlusterFS ever going to happen or should we just give up indefinitely on that prospect?

Cannot add containers as content to or create containers on glusterfs storage in Proxmox 5. Is it possible to add containers as content to glusterfs storage in Proxmox 4?

How do you attach an ext4 volume to the CT from the GUI?

Thanks LnxBil. My final question in my quest to use zfs storage remains unanswered Why was the "disk quota" option unavailable (dimmed) while setting up the CT on the zfs pool in the gui?

Quite right, Gleb. The hostname in hostnamectl command and the one in /etc/hosts must match to avoid the installation errors described in OP's post. Setting the hostname in Debian 9 Stretch: hostnamectl set-hostname [your-hostname] To check your hostname: hostnamectl status or just: hostnamectl

Thanks guletz for that warning. I have just set up a zfs pool as directed by LnxBil, allocated the zfs storage in the gui and created a CT on the zfs storage and that seems to have all worked fine. Not only that, I can now view the whole rootfs directory tree directly from the subvol created...

Thanks LnxBil for making it look so simple, and to other members who have replied. Do I need to lay a filesystem on the partition before (or after) creating the pool? If so, which filesystem would you advise to use? (Hmm, on second thought, this question doesn't make much sense as zfs itself is...

zfs newbie here...can zfs do the caching inside the same partition where the data resides?

I have been using rdiff-backup for incremental file / folder / full recoveries of openvz containers for years without fail, But that automation requires the subdirectories view in containers. Reading through this thread, what I am still not clear about is, which storage options in Proxmox...

Hello Forum So let's say I want to create a ZFS pool on /dev/sda4 for containers, disk images, etc.. What are the quick and dirty steps (the ZFS commands) to create the pool, so that proxmox can use it to set up containers? Regards.

Hello Dietmar Are the zfs subvolumes set up automatically by proxmox during container creation? When a container is created with a zfs subvolume, Is it possible to view the container's filesystem in /var/lib/lxc/ct-id/rootfs? And can you still login to the container from host using pct enter...

So is there a solution to that?
