I've been testing migrations from Hyper-V to Proxmox lately. I would suggest configuring some Proxmox storage to allow for image file storage, for qcow2 type files. There are limitations to converting the VHDX on a Proxmox host, like not supporting dynamic sized VHDXs. I have quite successfully...

You are absolutely right! I hadn't noticed the max backups attribute in storage settings or the different backup capabilities at the Datacenter level. Thanks again for the additional info! I'm learning tons about Proxmox migrating my home Hyper-V environment over to it, and I'm really liking it...

Fabian, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out for the feature in an update! Another thing I've noticed while trying to figure out a workaround for this above issue was that the GUI backup capability only allows storing a single backup of a CT. I've learned the command prompt can allow...

Agreed. I'm at least relieved it's not just me being crazy on this one.

any thoughts from anyone?

I'm curious if anyone knows of a workaround to allow snapshots on a container with a folder path added as a mount point? Maybe I've chosen the wrong way to accomplish the task. I want to have a host zfs dataset/filesystem accessible inside multiple containers and be able to snapshot the...

I don't know about Samba domain controllers, but you definitely never do that with a Windows domain controller.

That is correct. I actually ended up figuring that out on my own. Given that it worked on the boot mirror, I figured there had to be something wrong with the dataset I was trying to use. So I created a new one and it worked there. When I started comparing the properties of the two datasets, the...

If it helps, here's the output of the package versions that were installed by the installer: proxmox-ve: 5.0-16 (running kernel: 4.10.17-1-pve) pve-manager: 5.0-23 (running version: 5.0-23/af4267bf) pve-kernel-4.10.15-1-pve: 4.10.15-15 pve-kernel-4.10.17-1-pve: 4.10.17-16...

Sort of. ZFS attempts to fill all VDEVs equally. When you add a new VDEV, it will be empty and ZFS will send pretty much all writes to that new VDEV. Only once all the VDEVs (old + a new one) are equally full (by percentage, I believe), will you get the performance you're describing.

If you were able to open my screenshot (sorry for the annoying way to post that, only way a first time poster can post an image I guess), I have a storage location called ZFS_pxhost01_VMStorage and it is a ZFS storage with Disk Image and Containers enabled on it. When I point the Create CT...

I think I had mentioned in the post, I've tried both configurations for storing the containers on the secondary ZFS pool. No matter what I try, I can't get a container to work on the secondary (large/non-boot) ZFS pool.

Anybody have any advice, or are containers just fundamentally broken in PVE 5.0?

Hi all, I'm new to PVE and the forums, please go easy on me. I've searched for this issue here and in google and none of the solutions are working for me or maybe not explained well enough. I'm having issues with creating containers on my test system. I installed PVE on a mirror ZFS pool and I...
