    lzo compressed backups fail with XP?

    Nobody else has experienced this? Does anybody have any ideas why lzo fails with XP KVMs? Thanks. :)

    [SOLVED] Understanding Subscription Updates

    There are no error messages and nothing is awry. Mostly I am concerned about PVE security patches. An update for libcups2 came through today, but that is a Debian update and not PVE. What is the latest kernel version for the enterprise repo? Can the enterprise repo be browsed manually? While...

    [SOLVED] Understanding Subscription Updates

    We have a single subscription now for several weeks. I have not seen any updates from the enterprise repo, but have seen some on the non-enterprise repo. Since I have not seen updates with the subscription, I want to verify there actually have not been any updates. I presume the enterprise...

    lzo compressed backups fail with XP?

    I have been tinkering with this for some time. I am reasonably convinced that using lzo compression when backing up an XP KVM system using vzdump no longer succeeds. The failures started about the first week in May 2018. I can backup an XP system without compression or with gzip. I can backup...

    Rsync Offsite backup

    Look at ls -tr piped to tail -n1. Or, at the NAS, delete the oldest rsync backup with head -n1 if the number of backups exceeds 5 (if [ `ls -1 $rsync_dir | wc -l` -gt 5 ]; then ...).

    Backup Not Stopping

    My guess is the web browser GUI is monitoring another process that is spawned along with vzdump. For example, a lock file. When directly killing a process, associated processes and files are not managed cleanly. Probably better than kill -9 vzdump is vzdump -stop. Try ps aux | grep vzdump...

    [SOLVED] proxmox issue to start vm?

    One guess is the RAM allocation configuration of all guest systems exceeds the total RAM of the system. Another guess is using memory ballooning, which allows allocated memory to expand and contract as needed.

    VZdump backup problem (error -5 input/output error)

    Test backing up to local storage rather than a remote NFS share. That might provide some clues.

    Rsync Offsite backup

    Before using sshpass, verify you can manually SSH into the NAS. Use the verbose option to see the full SSH handshake output. Simple things to check include: * Verify the SSH daemon is running on the NAS. * nmap scan the NAS to verify port 22 is open. * Verify the public key is copied to the...

    rootfs questions

    I noticed in some CentOS 7 containers an init boot failure with systemd-remount-fs.service. Not fatal but I traced the cause to /etc/fstab, which contains the following: /dev/root / rootfs defaults 0 0 When logging into the CentOS container, /dev/root does not exist. Commenting out that...

    [SOLVED] systemd-logind failures

    I found the problem. /var/run is not sym linked to /run. :) Odd how this happened only in some CentOS 7 containers but not all. mv -f /var/run/* /run/; rm -rf /var/run; ln -s /run /var/run; reboot

    Rsync Offsite backup

    Did you copy the public SSH key into .ssh/authorized_keys? If you do not have permissions to copy the key but have SSH password access then look at the sshpass command if you want to script the rsync command.

    [SOLVED] systemd-logind failures

    I see systemd-logind.service failures when starting CentOS 7 containers. I have one Ubuntu Server container that does not have this problem. I searched the web to no avail. The logs and systemctl output indicate an inability to connect to dbus. Thanks again for any help. :) systemctl status...

    Looking for help restoring vzdump file

    My condolences on your loss. :( Sounds like you were given only the hard drive and now want to create a Proxmox server using those backups? If yes, then the first step is installing Proxmox. Then configure storage locations. Then copy the backups to those locations. If no and you want only to...

    LXC Backup failes with exit code 23

    rsync error codes 23 Partial transfer due to error Directories and files can be excluded with an exclusion file or the exclude-path parameter. I hope that helps. :)
