    ceph thin provisioning for lxc's not working as expected?

    I have an LXC that is provisioned with a 100GB boot drive using ceph RBD storage. However, see the following: ~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/rbd10 98G 8.8G 85G 10% / This is in the running container. Checking the disk usage in ceph however, claims...

    [SOLVED] LXC with more cores assigned uses dramatically less CPU. Why?

    I know the matter has been resolved, but just for reference, here's what I was referring to: ~# uptime 14:17:19 up 21 days, 19:44, 1 user, load average: 5.37, 5.36, 5.55 This refers to CPU's, not percentages.

    How to fence off ceph monitor processes?

    I the continuous process of learning about running an pmx environment with ceph, I came across a note regarding ceph performance: "... if running in shared environments, fence off monitor processes." Can someone explain what is meant by this and how does one achieve this? thanks!

    [SOLVED] LXC with more cores assigned uses dramatically less CPU. Why?

    Then it must be changed to say percentage use. There is an enhancement request open for this.

    [SOLVED] LXC with more cores assigned uses dramatically less CPU. Why?

    40 CPU's, number 40 in the graph. Not percentages. Go to a VM however: 6 vCPU's assigned, the graphs shows 7. Why on earth would anyone think that this is a percentage graph?

    [SOLVED] LXC with more cores assigned uses dramatically less CPU. Why?

    Ouch! We are very used to other tools showing the actual CPU usage, so I'm surprised that this is a percentage graph. The left hand side scale does not indicate that and it wrong then. The top should be 100% and the bottom 0%. As it is, the scale shows 14 at the top. Is that 14%? I think...

    [SOLVED] LXC with more cores assigned uses dramatically less CPU. Why?

    I have an interesting situation. An LXC running Power-mail-in-a-box has 4 cores assigned (with 8GB RAM and 100GB NVMe ceph pool storage). The graph below shows the following: The section from 9:32 to around 10:02 is when I only had 4 cores assigned. Before and after that time I had 12 cores...

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    Surely this a bug and can't be by design. If the main service goes down because to place one backs up to cannot be reached consistently, the backup service should balk, but the main service must be stable. I'll open a bug report for this.

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    The only one of the these command that shows a problem is this one root@FT1-NodeD:~# systemctl status pvestatd ● pvestatd.service - PVE Status Daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pvestatd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-10-19...

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    It seems that my remote backup server (PBS) may be the cause of this. I have now determined that the link to it is very slow (1Mb/s) instead of the Gb/s is used to be, so I'm investigating that. I find it peculiar though that not being able to do a fast backup can kill a whole node's running...

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    Regarding the hanging specifically: When the "pct status xxx" command times out, it's not the what's inside the container, it's the system. Some of these lxc's run on NVMe storage and for the rest of the system everything is running perfectly fine. I still don't know why some nodes just look...

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    This morning it is another node that displays the exact same symptoms! Node B. It get's stuck trying to take a snapshot of an LXC and then all the LXC's become unresponsive. I upgraded all the nodes yesterday to ensure that I've got all the latest patches, including PBS, so what could be...

    How to deal with unresponsive lxc and kvm guests in HA context

    We had an interesting situation this morning. For some reason one node in our cluster was not showing as active (green "running" arrows on the guest icon on the tree) and all the LXC's were not responding. We managed to address the issue as quickly as possible by simply resetting the node and...

    Proxmox LXD?

    Thanks for the excellent explanation! Much appreciated!

    Proxmox LXD?

    The full isolation of each LXD OS is better than with LXC, not? I think the toolset with LXD is more powerful as well. I may be wrong, but aren't there more startable images available for LXD than for LXC as well?

    Proxmox LXD?

    Ah, rereading the thread shows that, yes. Would LXD not be a good upgrade, since it would strengthen the container environment provided?

    Proxmox LXD?

    Is there a timeline for LXD support, @dietmar ? It's been 5 years since your comment, so I'm wondering.
