yes That makes sense, but all my vm config files are in there on the new drive, i guess i will try it with services started.

I am trying to make sure my system is easily restorable should something break the proxmox host os. My VMs are stored on separate storage from the pve OS. I have 3rd storage location for backups I have rsync'd /etc and /var to my backup storage after stopping all of the pve services i could...

Try a different USB device - is a flash drive. I had the same issue with 1 western digital passport, and I think it is failing, because access times were very high on a normal PC, sometimes it would take 10-20 seconds to show the list of files. I tried another 500gb and 3tb drive, and both...

Odd - after a reboot everything works. I suppose I could have ran a aptitude upgrade, but I thought I rebooted after that.

I am trying to use various usb drives as a backup destination, anything from a 16 gb sandisk usb flash to a 2tb drive will not detect properly, I have used 5 different devices with complete failure to show a device in /dev, does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong? I am seeing an...

No, stand alone.

I am trying to add a local directory for backups called /backup I run mkdir /backup then when i try to add the dir in the gui I get this error: create storage failed: got lock request timeout (500) any ideas?

So did you ever get the speed up on your SSD? Which SSD were you using?

I am getting a Dell R710, just trying to work out the storage: 6x 300gb 10k 6gb/s SAS in RAID6 PVE installed on a single 60gb SSD (wish i could run it on SD card;), plugged in to motherboard, not RAID card, clone it off for backup. This way I can use raw LVM backing on the RAID array, and wont...

i see ;) I am looking in /etc/pve/qemu-server/vmid.conf and just append args: -no-hpet -no-kvm-pit-reinjection at the bottom seems to have put my clock back to normal now.

Are there any notes on best practice KVM settings for windows guests? for instance -net tap hugepages cache=? none? writeback? (does this apply to certain storage setups like raid card with bbu?) After some reading, those are what I find, but I am wondering if they give worthy gains - or is...

iperf results: VM to host 33MB host to another host 56MB vm to another host 27MB just wondering if these notes on 2003 apply to 2008? http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2003_guest_best_practices

I have tried variations on the threading with no changes.

I am not of much help, but seeing the same results. My server and client are both on a gig switch, but only get about 15MB of throughput on SMB shares - any ideas. here is my situation: Proxmox 2.0 2008 x64 guest (only vm provisioned) using virtio on LAN/hdd, with Write Back on RAW Dell T410...

I will bring up a point for the original poster- more than likely having more than 1 array will lower performance, this may depend on the raid card, but I have tested a few in this exact scenario, and they have all lowered their speed when adding a 2nd array, or even just adding a stand alone...

That is a great start for the network, but I mostly worry about the file system being the bottle neck in KVM, what kind of storage are you using on your VM? If SME ran on a VZ container, I would worry less, as that would mean direct access to the disks.

fortunately they are ultra low watt xeons ;), obviously cpu is not of concern, my concern is file share throughput, so have you come up with any conclusion in your vm tests?

I have a network with 5-6 workstations, and am hoping to run some sort of active directory/file server (not windows). I am considering SME Server, but am worried about running it in KVM and having throughput issues, and I also prefer the flexibility of vz containers. Has anyone come up with...

thanks - thats what I figured, (hoped to avoid). I am good with nix, just not lvm and alignment calculations.

I dont imagine a big speed increase, but I want to try it to at least know this is done for my next server that will probably have RAID6. partition alignment is what I am asking about - is this possible on proxmox on the primary drive, or is it only possible doing a scratch Debian install to...
