I was following the instructions found here http://louwrentius.com/the-zfs-event-daemon-on-linux.html to enable ZFS notifications via email. From the Wiki I see the Proxmox has postfix installed already but I have never used postfix nor could I find any proxmox relevant info on configuring it...

For example... I mounted zpool/media to the torrent LXC with no problem. User A created the shares, and User B wants to write directly to that path, I got a permission error that the user cant write to the dir. I can make new directories inside zpool/media/newfolder but I cant write to an...

I've gotten some great help in this forum so far with setting up my first Proxmox box and dealing with a few configuration issues. I've got most of them sorted out and I want to make sure that I am doing this correctly as far as users and permissions go. My setup is Proxmox installed on a USB...

Thank you for this info. I thought I was going crazy that this wasn't working!

I want to connect my Ubuntu VM to a samba share on my LAN. It has both guest access and valid users. I simply add the following string to my /etc/fstab //10.0.0.6/Media /media/nas cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 then mount -a and everything is up and running. I create a basic...

Thanks! I think I understand you now. I now have the ZFS pool mounted to proxmox and added as "ZFS" storage to hold VMs (disk image, container) and then I have another dataset on the pool mounted as a "Directory" to handle ISO, template, and backup. This appears to be working fine and I can...

So I am currently using FreeNAS with ZFS to store all of my media, backups, etc etc. The idea is to move to Proxmox, let Proxmox handle the ZFS pool that holds that data along with running various LXCs and VMs that provide various services using that shared ZFS pool data. So where to store the...

I have a ZFS pool that I want to store all of my proxmox files on. zpool/proxmox/vm zpool/proxmox/iso zpool/proxmox/vmbackup zpool/proxmox/templates etc I mounted the zpool and can access all of those files on the host proxmox system at those exact locations. If I add storage to Proxmox as...

Thanks! I didn't look into LXC much but now I have. I was able to setup a LC for Plex, Crashplan, and SAMBA. I was able to mount any existing host-mounted directory inside the OS by doing the following. Assuming, 105 is your LC you created, proxmostest is the zpool, and /stuff is a dataset in...

Thanks! This worked perfectly! I think this is how my hardware will be configured... Proxmox Server 2x 8-core, E5-2670 Xenon, 32 virtual cores total 64GB RAM 6x 4TB RAIDz2 (Master) 6x 2TB RAIDz2 (Backup) 6x Intel Gbe NICs 16GB USB drive for OS Proxmox Storage 16GB USB Proxmox OS and...

Thanks for all the replies. I think I have most of the items sorted out enough that I can test the hardware shortly. I was able to create a single-drive ZFS pool on the FreeNAS box, detach the pool, plug it into the Proxmox box, use zpool import to import the pool, then "Add storage" to get the...

I am planning on purchasing a 48 port Gbe switch with 2 or 4 SFE+ ports on it. I wasn't sure if those are ONLY use to daisy chain other switches or could also be used as a normal port for any device. I'm thinking 8x 2-3MP streams from IP cameras that will have to go to the NVR VM will take up...

Thanks for the helpful info! Given the hardware I have and the things I want it to do it appears that the best approach is to let Proxmox handle all the ZFS duties and allow it access to the majority of server resources not allocated to individual VMs rather than creating a VM of FreeNAS. I...

Thanks guys for all the quick replies, links and info! Regarding the ZFS storage specifically, I think I would switch away from FreeNAS IF I could simply eject my current zpools and import them into pve without having to backup/migrate the data. I have some test pools I can test this process on...

Hello everyone. I am new to Proxmox but familiar with VM configuration and networking. I am rewiring all of my house with Cat-6 and business class networking and server hardware. My goal is to create a reliable home network with a variety of servers and services with Proxmox at the center of it...
