I mistakenly converted a bunch of vsphere (vmdk) VM's to qcow rather than qcow2 (using qemu-img convert). From the docs it looks like qcow1 doesn't support multiple snapshots so I can't leave them that way. Is there a quick and easy way to inplace upgrade qcow1 to qcow2? I really don't want to...

Thanks Udo, feedback much appreciated. Intel 535 120GB. TBH I don't know - I presume the S3700 supports it in its controller? I doubt the 535 does, its just a SATA connection.

Hi Udo, thanks for the detailed reply and my apologies for my lateness - I missed the notification :( My LV skills are weak but I'll give it a spin. Definitely backup the disk with clonezilla first though :) Soome questions: - Your first step, formatting and mounting the SSD, does it matter...

I have a three node proxmox cluster setup. The two main nodes are both booting off Samsung SSD 840 EVO's. In retrospect, not a good choice :( Both SSD's have been effected by the firmware slow read performance bug and one can't be upgraded to the firmware "fix". I want to replace them with...

Ah, thanks. Tricky one that.

Hi All, I'm trying to get Hyper-V working in a Windows 10 Preview guest - want to do this so that I can run the Windows Mobile Phone Simulator. I've followed the guide here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Nested_Virtualization And nesting seems to be enabled: root@vng:~# cat...

You need three monitor nodes for ceph but you can get by with only two storage nodes. I run two compute nodes that also are ceph storage nodes (3 osd's per node. I have a third lightweight ProxMox node (Intel NUC) that only runs the third ceph monitor for quorum Sent from my RM-977_1008...

Thanks mir, good to know.

After a bit more research the Western Digital Blue 1TB SATA3 HDD 64M Caviar Blue WD10EZEX looks better - better IOPS and better failure rate.

Looking at extending my very small ceph cluster. Made some inital bad choices - using WD 3TB Red, should have gone with multiple smaller & faster drives :( Can get a reasonable price on Seagate SATA3 1TB 7200RPM 64mb Cache (ST1000DM003). They are a bit faster in seq and IOPS. Does anyone see...

Anyone else running into this? maybe I have a screwed up ceph configuration? Taking a snapshot of my ceph hosted vm's is quick - a few seconds. Restoring the snapshot is unbelievably slow - over 30 *minutes* At first I thought it was proxmox, but using the ceph rbd tool was just as slow, On...

Pardon my ignorance, but how does that work? how does the gateway access the internet?

Weird crap on our intranet. The big give away was when every mp3 file on my pc was replaced with a executable - <Name>.mp3.exe :) There was a possible sapm bot on our net too. Tools - we used Windows Defendor offline, Malware bytes, AVG, RougeKiller, eset, rkill, ComboFix, adwcleaner and jrt. I...

We run all our windows dev, test and production servers on our proxmox servers, weekly onsite DR backups and monthly offsite DR backups. And we just got hammered with a root kit virus that is proving extremely difficult to remove. I'm proposing that we restore one by one from last month...

Be interesting to test with Yah, I have no idea how that would work with VM images. thanks.

So at worst, no worse :) and possibly better. Also I was wanting to expeirment with Caching Tiers in giant as they seemed more mature. Yes - only the spinner is managed by zfs, a directory mount with a zfs ARC and L2ARC. It helps a lot with the read performance - 200MB/s with it, 70 MB/s...

nb. Sorry, one last question - is giant compatible with the proxmox ceph management tools and ui?

Thanks spirit, much appreciated. Is it as simple as that to upgrade from firefly to giant? - upgrade - restart monitors - restart osd's No other procedures/gotchas? You mentioned "For ceph with ssd drives, you really should try giant.". Is it a similar improvement for spinners + ssd journals...

How do you get giant on proxmox?

Sorry Serge, missed your answer earlier. Thanks for that.
