That's not true, you just haven't tuned ZFS properly. Google for ZFS tuning, there are lots of parameters to adjust depending on what you are trying to achieve. Storage systems are always a trade of between data integrity and speed. ZFS defaults to data integrity.

Does this update include the fix for the e1000 driver problems mentioned here? My test machine suffers from the e1000 problem. http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/9678-New-2-6-32-Kernel-for-Proxmox-VE-2-1-stable?highlight=e1000 Sheepdog looks like a good alternative to DRBD, much simpler to...

How is the second server going to know the first server is down? It could be the second server that has a communications fault to the first server. Do you really want to automatically have two sets of the same VM's running at the same time? Fall over needs to be complex like the Proxmox HA or...

Nup, looked at those. They don't say they do a memory snapshot to disk. If they did I would be pleased!

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice I tried that, very messy. Virtualbox has some nice features, but overall the OSE version that FreeBSD uses is a pain. I like Proxmox, my only problem at the moment is some kind of semi-live migration without using shared storage. I don't consider a...

I am trying to work out at the command line, how to suspend a running KVM VM so I can ftp a copy to another machine and resume it. Kind of like how the migrate facility does when you have shared iSCSI/DRBD storage, but obviously much slower using ftp. Is there a command line utility for...

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice No idea, I don't use OpenVZ, only KVM.

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice I didn't find that KVM guests to be much of a problem on ZFS. You have to set the write back cache option for the drive image. There are some tuning issues to get the fsync rate acceptable that's about it. My main problem is I can't figure out how...

That Wiki page says "Actually there is no external client to work with PVE 2.0." for Mac and Windows. It's a bit confusing as the line above says TigerVNC might work.

I would like to do this as well.

What about if you only run KVM VMs is it the same issue, or can you simply run ntp on the host?

Re: Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice Not sure I quite understand. The /root is part of the pve lvm group so I cant really delete that, if I could make it not be on LVM that would be good, but I don't see how to do that. Is there a point in the install in debug mode where I can delete...

I am getting random freezes with pve-kernel-2.6.32-12-pve every couple of hours requiring a reboot. It's a 3 year old MSI MS-9232 1 RU server (e1000 nic Intel 82573L) which I use for testing. I reinstalled with pve-kernel-2.6.32-11-pve and it seems stable again. With the pve-kernel-2.6.32-12-pve...

I am not sure if this is a bug or deliberate. The proxmox 2.1 installer wont install over an existing Proxmox installation, as vgcreate fails "A volume group called pve already exists" and proxinstall fails at line 602.

Check in /etc/vzdump.conf what your bwlimit is set to. I set mine at bwlimit: 80000 for gigabit ethernet. It's in kB/sec. The default is like 10BaseT speed which is no good if you are trying to backup to a local disk that can go way faster.

Repartition Proxmox to make a ZFS slice I have a 1RU server that can only take two hard drives. I was thinking of using a 1.5TB boot drive and a 1TB second drive, making the 1.5TB into 500G for Proxmox and 1TB of ZFS which I will mirror with the 1TB second drive. When I install Proxmox it...

Did you edit your storage to allow more than one backup, as I mentioned above? It worked for me, "Backup now" works fine after that.

I get exactly the same error over and over when I tried backing up to an NFS share, don't know why, I eventually gave up and back up to a second hard drive, then used wget to grab the backup dir contents quickly across to the backup server.

You get an error when you click backup now, I take it that's what he means by a manual backup. However if you edit your storage setting for the device you are trying to do the manual backup to, and say it can have "Max Backups 2" or more it will proceed. So the manual backup does not override...

I managed to get Proxmox 1.7 running on a Mac Mini ages ago, there were issues, and the success varies from model to model. Once it was running it was reliable. Don't bother unless you have more than 4G of RAM. http://forum.proxmox.com/threads/4410-Mac-Mini-Server-4-1
