    [SOLVED] How to clone a 2x500gb drives ZFS mirror zpool to a larger 2x1tb drives mirror?

    In addition to my last reply, things have become even more frustrating/confusing insomuch that the documentation is not clear as to whether proxmox-boot-tool init should be used instead of or in conjunction with and after sgdisk. Again the size differential and creating wear on the drive is my...

    [SOLVED] How to clone a 2x500gb drives ZFS mirror zpool to a larger 2x1tb drives mirror?

    Thanks guys, I guess I'm still a little unclear here and maybe I need to get some additional information from my providing some more details: This initial setup was a few years old and I forgot that I had it setup as a mirrored bootable root device. I have two 500gb drives in my bootable zpool...

    [SOLVED] How to clone a 2x500gb drives ZFS mirror zpool to a larger 2x1tb drives mirror?

    Still been a bit worried/concerned on this situation and have been hoping someone who has previously encountered this might be able to chime in.

    [SOLVED] How to clone a 2x500gb drives ZFS mirror zpool to a larger 2x1tb drives mirror?

    I have a situation where things got out of control on a standalone PVE system with a 500gb SSD as ZFS storage. I need to somehow pull the drive and clone it to a larger 1tb drive for the time being as a stopgap measure in a time critical situation. How can this be done so that the size is scaled...

    Docker demand heating up more and more

    I guess my suggestion is that higher adoption would 100% be true through seeing such direct support. When people see such things the comfort level would increase by an order of magnitude and anyone considering Proxmox would have their desire to do so bolstered. Yes, even if Proxmox did a direct...

    Docker demand heating up more and more

    I think the Proxmox developers need to take another hard cold look at the need to facilitate Docker within Proxmox. I love LXC, but we're seeing a LOT more activity and demand for Docker. Heck, it would be great to be able to, for example, use Docker Desktop and with an Extension or even the...

    Opt-in Linux 5.19 Kernel for Proxmox VE 7.x available

    What's the proper method for changing back and forth between Linux 5.19 and 5.15 when doing various tests and benchmarks? The obvious path to 5.19 is the apt install method, which then yields both kernels within the GRUB boot manager, but it would be good to have the method to change the default...

    Linux 6 - io_uring improvements: What's the deal and ramifications for Proxmox?

    There's a lot of talk and excitement around Linux kernel 6.0 release. It seems there is a high belief that io_uring has been improved to a degree that there will be a lot of performance improvements all over the place. What are the implications of this for Proxmox and what kind of integration...

    Flags to turn off Hyper-V IPI & TLB flush enlightenment?

    What are the ramifications, if any, of hacking the CPU configurator to do this? And is there a reason this isn't a standard function/option yet if Redhat/VirtIO are seeing so many problems?

    Flags to turn off Hyper-V IPI & TLB flush enlightenment?

    Hmm, unfortunately I do see the following in the `-cpu` arguments for the guest VM in question: -cpu kvm64,enforce,hv_ipi,hv_relaxed,hv_reset,hv_runtime,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_stimer,hv_synic,hv_time,hv_vapic,hv_vpindex,+kvm_pv_eoi,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+lahf_lm,+sep Does this mean I should somehow...

    Flags to turn off Hyper-V IPI & TLB flush enlightenment?

    I've been having trouble with BSODs in Windows 10 virtual machines that are apparently, according to VirtIO driver developers where they've seen an ENORMOUS number of such crashes, due to needing to disable Hyper-V IPI and TLB flush enlightenment. There are, it appears, flags that can disable...

    [SOLVED] LXC Snapshot Details?

    Thank you @fabian. So from what you're saying I interpret the following to be the case: when I use the aforementioned snapshotting mechanism on LXC guests it will use ZFS snapshotting when stored on an ZFS volume. Right?

    [SOLVED] LXC Snapshot Details?

    From my wiki reading (perhaps missed details and thus my confusion) some things aren't entirely clear so I wanted to hopefully get some more details here. I have an LXC guest on Proxmox 7.2 with ZFS compression enabled: zfs set compress=zstd rpool/data/subvol-211-disk-0 The volume is currently...

    [SOLVED] Autoreboot of guests and/or PVE server itself?

    Thanks @bbgeek17. I suppose I worry about trusting crontab editing, but it definitely is a work around without such a (useful) feature at present. Some potentially useful options to make this a little more safe/sane perhaps for a virtual machine guest with a VMID of 101: Set the frequency you...

    Guest hangs when halt / shutdown issued (OpenMediaVault 5.x)?

    Just an update on this older issue. On Proxmox 7.2 I'm still noticing that some situations like with a very minimal Ubuntu 20.04 will still hang on halt indefinitely and I have to issue a STOP to speed up reboot a little. Kind of curious why a halt process that seems to succeed should hang as it...

    Void Linux LXC?

    Just thinking about this again. While not necessary, it sure would be nice to have more robust choices somehow such as Void et al.

    [SOLVED] Autoreboot of guests and/or PVE server itself?

    I have a situation where I need to reboot three guests daily. I would be fine with restarting Proxmox itself, but would prefer to have an automated mechanism for restarting the guest servers easily. Is there a function that already accomplishes this or is this a feature that Proxmox developers...

    Suspend (save) guest state instead of shutdown/reboot and restore on reboot?

    @Stoiko Ivanov thanks for sharing that. Unfortunately it seems as though it has to be done manually. Is there no way to set up the hibernation function to automatically trigger on shutdown so that it also auto-restores on startup/reboot?

    Suspend (save) guest state instead of shutdown/reboot and restore on reboot?

    I have a situation where it would be very helpful to suspend or save guest virtual machine (and even LXC (if possible) guest) states instead of shutting down the guest operating system and then starting it back up on PVE reboot. Is this currently possible? KVM/QEMU appear to have this...

    How to run an LXC container thru SOCKS5 instead of regular networking?

    In my scenario I have a few gateways I need to reliably monitor and one of them is a SOCKS5 proxy. I have seen some things about Docker kind of facilitating this, but I have been hitting a barrier with LXCs on Proxmox. Basically I have a nodejs app that I need to run that will ping various nodes...
