    Proxmox won't boot with SATA drives inserted via LSI SAS 3008 IT

    OK, so I think I am going to give up on this for now. I can't get it to work so I have uninstalled the card for now. I even tried booting to a live Ubuntu USB to see if I could play around with the disks in GParted and not even Ubuntu would boot with the disks inserted. As I won't be using it...

    Proxmox won't boot with SATA drives inserted via LSI SAS 3008 IT

    The card mentioned in that thread is the 3008L-L8i variant. The card I have is the 3008L-L8e. I did do some research beforehand and I'm fairly sure people are using this card with Proxmox successfully as I was advised to get it to replace the RAID card that came with the server by someone with...

    Proxmox won't boot with SATA drives inserted via LSI SAS 3008 IT

    Bit of an update. Unplugged all the drives, booted up Proxmox, and then plugged in just one drive which is a brand new and unused drive. On the command line, it shows up as /dev/sde running lsblk. But if I try to look at the disks in the Proxmox UI, it spins and then times out. I can't seem to...

    Proxmox won't boot with SATA drives inserted via LSI SAS 3008 IT

    Hi all, Is there something I need to do to make this card work with Proxmox? I have just flashed the firmware on the SAS card to the latest (16.00.10). It's running in IT mode. At the moment, I have inserted 8x SATA drives and if I boot into the SAS configuration utility it sees all the drives...

    ISO Storage on ZFS??? Possible?

    Of course. Thank you! When I created the zpool on the command line I mounted it at /mnt/storage. I've now created a dataset at storage/iso and then in DataCentre -> Storage added that location as a Directory which can contain ISO’s. I've uploaded a couple of ISO images to it and it seems to...

    ISO Storage on ZFS??? Possible?

    Wondering whether to bin the whole idea off. I was just thinking of trying to get the better R/W performance of a stripe for storing the ISO's where redundancy isn't really a big concern. If I can't do that then I may as well re-install Proxmox and use the full amount of space (or near to) on...

    ISO Storage on ZFS??? Possible?

    Sorry. This doesn't seem to be possible for ZFS? Unless I'm missing something. DataCentre -> Storage is where I created the storage. But when you select it as ZFS storage, the option for IOS images is not there. Looking at the docs I think what I'm trying to do is not possible but I may be...

    I read something about problems logging onto containers. I don't plan on running any containers directly on Proxmox but it made me wonder if there might be other problems it causes me down the line.

    ISO Storage on ZFS??? Possible?

    Thanks. When you say to register the storage, what exactly do you mean? The storage is showing up in Proxmox under the ZFS section for the node. I created a new directory on it but ISO images wasn't an option.

    ISO Storage on ZFS??? Possible?

    Hi all, I have a new Proxmox installation that I have setup. I have 2x 128GB Supermicro SATA DOM's that I used for the installation. My plan was to partition them each with a 60GB and 50GB partition. Install Proxmox on two 60GB partitions as a mirror for redundancy. Then with the two 50GB...

    Root User

    Hi all, I am new to the forum and Proxmox and looking for some advice. In general, what are people doing with the root user on the system? Generally, I would always create a new sudo user and then disable root login but I have read on a couple of Reddit forums that this can cause problems...
