How do you confugure Proxmox backups to goto Synology ?

Please let us know how you got this to work - I cannot mount NFS share from any container or VM, yet I am able to mount the NFS share from the host and other physical Linux devices...

I am having the same problems ....exact same error... Yet, I can successfully mount all of the 6 physical linux machines here at home (which includes both ProxMox hosts) to a newly created NFS share on a FreeNAS box...but trying the same from any Linux VM gets a permission error ... there must...

Let us know how you like freenas -- I just created a FreeNas 11 VM with 32G boot disk and 4x50 GB hd in raid 10 ... first time for me using freenas and it seems pretty intuitive , and so many tweaks available ... Sure beats buying the Synology..many ways to share data...many plugins to...

Thank you for your help on this - I was able to get this working...and it should have been obvious that guest file system can be different than host (NTFS etc ..)..

I ran into exactly the same issue, and wound up adding a new partition ,,, I selected resize disk, but could not determine how to resize the storage on the VM inside....I was also not sure if ext4 was OK to use on the new partition, given that the VM exisits w/in a zfs mirror .. Talk about nuts...

Wld like to follow up on this -- and I hope this makes sense .. I have 2 i TB drives which I wld like to use as zfs mirror, and wld like to follow the advice of using disk-by-id and not the fleeting/changeable /dev/sdxx format. The 2 disks appear in the /dev/disk/by-id directory, but they...

OK - that makes total sense ... I have a USB drive I can use to do just that ... THX

If I want to join a host to a cluster, does that mean it has to have NO VMs, or simply that the IDs all must not match any in the other node ? I have 2 hosts each with running VMs ... When I try to join the second host to the new cluster, I get the error: this host already contains virtual...

Windows firewall ?

This is a good question, and I see no reason why it should be too complicated transferring / restoring VM;s - and I must defer to the more experienced members of the board - I have no experience with HA or clustering .. but this my next goal ) ..

I am sure many opinions on this ... I just built a small scale 16GB host with 320GB 2.5 for boot, and 2x 1TB mirror for data and backups in ZFS ... Here is a nice ZFS setup guide, which I used How much memory do you have ? ZFS will require more memory for the same # of VM's etc... please...

Thanks - I see no zfs.conf in that directory ( /etc/modprobe.d/) ... could it be in another directory ? maybe hidden ? Maybe I need to create it ?

THX - I setup a mirror this AM with just the devices - how easy.. did not use disk-by-id ... added the pool to Proxmox, and setup some storage containers in the pool for ISO, VM, containers, templates etc... One concern - I see an unexpected amount of memory use - for example - the host I just...

Good idea about disk-by-id ... the /dev/sdxx id can change when other hw is attached -- seems like a time bomb, set to go off when connect an external USB hd --

I am dipping my toes into the ZFS pool, so to speak, an was wondering if it makes any difference if you setup a mirrored pool with partitions vs entire devices... I went ahead and partitioned 2 1 TB HD's with 1 partition each... I then did zpool create -f -o ashift=12 vmpool mirror /dev/sdb1...

wow - thank you for the advice... - I will review the wiki .. I tried to upgrade the 5.3.8 to 5.4 and was not initially successful. But then, I did some more searching and found this link which explained updating the package lists to no-subscription -- a few edits with nano opened up the update...

Thank you for the reply -- I have 5.3.8, and now see the download of 5.4 -- will these be compatible for cluster ? Or do I need to update the 5.3.8 to 5.4 ??

THX for reply - isn;t there a way to backup the proxmox that is on the m.2 ? Or are you saying if I do the raid10 and put pve on the spinners, if 1 drive fails, I still have a working system with time to replace the single failed drive ..and I know raid is not a backup solution ! The disaster...

I think the answer is "NO!" to the question: Can I cluster a PVE 5.x host with a PVE 6.x host ? If no, does the second box need to be the exact 5.x release of proxmox ?? I have i host currently running 5.x Good to know befor I build my next box :)
