I think the way it would go is like, First bridge is vmbr0 with 7 ports on it. That will be your LAN and switch. Next vmbr1 port 8 for WAN, connected to your modem. On pfsence vm add vmbr1 as WAN and vmbr0 as LAN. The only issue I can see is ip address on pfsence and proxmox host. The pfsence...

Well I went a different road. I have all my data disks on proxmox servers but in separate spool. Not part of proxmox storage. Than I load on lxc container with linux file server setup and bind mount the zfs pool into it. This allows me to share a data store localy between containers and host...

How did you replace the drive. Id possible I always add the disk physically to the machine without removing bad one. Than I run zfs replace command , google the exact command syntax , and tell it to Repalce the failed disks with new one. Once Repalce is done and pool is resilvered, it may take...

Before reinstall try setting your up outside the dhcp range. Sometimes if static ip is within dhcp range it behavior is weard.

Good to know. Thanks. In fact I wish I knew that a few weeks ago. It seams that OP is having similar issue I had last month, now that I re-read the initial post. In my case the data was not important so I just redid the pool anew. OP has a toughter task at hand.

No do not add new pool. If you already did the import you should be able to access the data. Unless something went wrong with import. Can you elaborate on what exactly did you do step by step. And what your expectations are.

IMHO, if this is not prod. System and is intended for learning the proxmox OS. Then do not worry about the overhead just keep it in mind as you creating the VMs to be frugal with VMs ram assignment. If however the idea is to learn AND do something useful with the box , than I would budget for a...

You need zfs import pool name command

What can affect performance on your setup? Except for your file server VMs everything else will mostly run in memory and write to disk rather than read. And it have to be a very busy file server for disk read performance to be the bottleneck.

IMHO, if this is a home lab I don't see an issue. I run my setup on 2 ssd soho grade. If reliability is a MUST, I still don't see a big issue but you need to do more research.

Well I do it a bit differently in my setup. Since you already the share mount it on host. Just edit the lxc config directly and add the bind mount there. Buy make sure you remove the folder in containers /mnt. The mount point will be created automatically. Search here for proper syntax It gose...

I do not understand. Isn't it what sudo is for? I think it works as it should. If you are new to Linux then you should know that sudo is used on accounts othet than root to elevate privileges. This is how linux controll access I.e. restrict what user can do. Usiong sudo is like using run as...

Ok I have a netgear 48port switch. It has managed mode but I use whatever the default settings were. Don't want to manage it. Essentially want to use it as plain switch. What are my option for bonding.

LnxBil, Tim, I have read the wiki. Both of them. They describe the mechanics of how to set it up. I am trying to figure out what is the proper setup for me. Tim. In an essence I do have fixed ip. It is just not configured in proxmox but on my router. I run pfsense box for my router. I do up...

Not sure what you mean here. But on a real pc I usually balance swap to ram ratio based on the real ram. If i have 8gb or more on a Linux machine I put swap at 1gb or 2 gb. Good to have but hope to never use. I am talking about workstation setup. If I have less than 8gb I make swap eather half...

Hello. As I am slowly rebuilding my home setup I am coming across a few challenges that buffle me a little. I have a server with 4 nics. I thought I can reserve one as host interface. And use 3 other for all my vm tragic. All 4 nics are. Plugged in onto the same switch and on the network. I have...

Ok. A little update. I figure out what I was doing wrong. I was adding emby user manually. So when I run emby installer it blow up on user creation. So, I got home tonight and started a new. Load up a new loc with debian 9 template. Did all updates etc. Created my own user admin. Logged in as...

I am just curious, but why do you have a swap the size of your ram in ct ? Wouldn't be more prudent to add more ram.

I will try to do a full setup tonight or tomorrow and post the steps and errors here. Maybe someone will see something meaningful.

Yes I did. As I say in my post I cna change the shell but it only works for the session. Once i logout it reverts back to what ever the $ shell is. The debian 8 setup works ok. In terms of it defaults to bash shell as i preffere. I still have the issue with installong emby and such but basics...
