We now suddenly have a constant issue with the snapshot of one of the VMs we are running (PVE 1.9) which reports an error by email: command 'rsync --stats -x --numeric-ids --sparse -aH --delete --no-whole-file '/var/lib/vz/private/212/'...

Just to confirm for anyone interested that downgrading Perl and reinstalling PVE packages did the trick for us finally: apt-get install perl=5.10.0-19lenny5 perl-base=5.10.0-19lenny5 perl-modules=5.10.0-19lenny5 A bit scaring as "everything" gets removed from the system but so far so good...

The problem seems obviously related with some perl libs or perl itself. So far we've managed to fix it on a virtualized environment by downgrading perl: apt-get install perl=5.10.0-19lenny5 perl-base=5.10.0-19lenny5 perl-modules=5.10.0-19lenny5 We'll now try on the failing server to confirm.

Just in case if of help we are suddenly having similar issues and we are revising in case it has to do with a "forced" installation of squeeze for the package rsnapshot. This had some dependencies related to perl that might be related. In case it helps clarify this is the apt install log that...

Hi. Been trying for a while with out success to share certain directory of the host machine on a KVM system running windows. I understand the most recommended method is NFS or Samba but we have a reason to try to access the data "directly" on the virtual machine even if it's as read only as we...

Hi everyone. We are preparing a small setup that will run 4 or 5 virtual machines on one host and we want to have one of them fully dedicated to logging. We will likely also be running a splunk server for data analysis on that machine. Our initial root was to have VM syslog writing to UDP or...

Hi. Our office server after latest reboot with kernel updates failed to boot network the first time. After some tweaking and an additional restart everything seems fine now but we've just noticed that the iptables file was not restored on boot and our firewall has been therefore down for a few...

Thanks. We will be migrating then from Ubuntu 9 to Debian 6 for the new system as per your comments. I understand you only have one (i386) official template, but one doubt that I have choosing OpenVZ templates is is the version ("i386 or amd64") refers to the host machine or to the VM it will...

Hello everyone A couple of years now on proxmox VE and we plan to virtualize an online webserver we currently run on Ubuntu 9. Our initial intention was to upgrade a local VM very similar we have on Ubuntu 9 to latest release and use that as a base to produce the final one. Although we seem to...

Hi. After some headaches we managed to migrate 2 physical servers (Ubuntu 9.10) to OpenVZ containers under PVE. We had some issues with terminals and others and had to mix some /dev with clean templates installations for it to work. We've now realized that rsyslog (which comes now with Ubuntu...

I've been hosting with OVH for some 4 years now (not on proxmox necessarily). Truly their lack of speed when problems arise and the way one feels (lonely) when there is an issue is obviously there worst, as they don't seem to have a "premium" support you could pay for either. But they are also...

Not relevant at all to soft raid, but I've finally managed to get away with HW raid as suprisingly our Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 via 2 gSata (sata3) connectors (Marvell Chipset) was recognized by the Proxmox VE 1.5 installer with no issues. We still have to try to get any form of driver to check...

Thanks for the reply. Standart install as we finally managed to install via HW RAID of our Gigabyte motherboard, something which I didn't expect initially. We must have "touched" the network config by some other means instead of web interface. After some effort we managed to restore from an...

We are setting up a local server with Proxmox VE 1.5. After correct installation and package upgrades, we started a migration of a physical Ubuntu 9.10 server which turned more or less successful. After a reboot of the host Proxmox VE we have now lost completely the network which won't start...

Hi. I know this discussion is quite old now but I have the impression still up-to-date!! I am of the ones who agree that having a "we do not like or support SW raid" is something against the use of proxmox ve. In our case we are just building a test server at our office replicating our online...

Hi. I've read quite a few posts about the pros and cons of using Openfiler (or freenas) typefile server under a VM on Proxmox VE. In general, I understand that there is an obvious degradation of performance if this is used as a VM instead of a bare metal installation but for our small office...

After an unsuccessful p2v migration of my Ubuntu server which I am stack with (on a separate post) I thought I would give a try to a reinstall based on a clean OpenVZ template for Ubuntu 9.10 (from the OpenVZ wiki) When I try to load my iptrables rules on the VM machine I've been getting errors...

I've been trying to migrate a physical Ubuntu 9.10 karmic system to a Proxmox OpenVZ container. As I haven't found any specific tutorials I've had to adapt from the OpenVZ wiki with the main differences coming from the inittab changes (no inittab in karmic but an init folder instead) and the...

Thanks for prompt response. So this is... if I have a PVE group with say 386Gb the main LV logical volume should not be more than 382Gb with the rest remaining as unallocated space within the group, correct? I'll try to suggest this to OVH as this must be causing some headaches to many. I am...

Hi. We are preparing a system hosted at OVH and perhaps due to not having experience with LVM we are having some issues with snapshots (vz) backups. We get errors like this: command 'lvcreate --size 1024M --snapshot --name vzsnap-nsXXXXX.ovh.net-0 /dev/pve/LV' failed with exit code 5 OVH...
