    Unable to connect to ISCSI, or otherwise read LVs?

    just following up on this a little bit. apparently the ofed drivers do a LOT of automatic purging of files including things like pve-manager! (!?), so don't do that. i think the main drivers are already in proxmox for these cards though, because they're covered by the mlnx4_en drivers. first...

    Proxmox VE 6.1 Installation failing with nomodeset \nInstallation aborted - unable to continue (type exit or CTRL+D to reboot)

    Yes, I performed the install using Debian. However it seems there are a number of users calling for the previous behaviours to return. Here's hoping they do (: It does make me wonder how new versions of Proxmox will run on interesting hardware like, for example, older (or even...

    Proxmox VE 6.1 Installation failing with nomodeset \nInstallation aborted - unable to continue (type exit or CTRL+D to reboot)

    Hey all, I have an old 2011 imac with a broken GPU, it's a common problem for this model and very difficult and expensive to repair, to the point that it's pointless. I use it as a testing proxmox node, and it has worked great for that for some time. However because its' GPU is bad, I have to...

    cifs share issues

    hm. so, when i configured Directory storage I ended up in basically the same situation - proxmox created a template/iso folder inside the mount point i had the SMB share on, which is not what i wanted. i also had forgotten that my fun little plan about symlinking one share to another directory...

    cifs share issues

    thanks for the input! so basically to use an existing SMB-shared ISO store, the best practice is to manually configure the mount and then add it as a Directory storage? if so, that's good, i can do that. in that case though i suspect it would be a pretty nice feature to consider - i imagine...

    hey all, i'm trying to add an existing cifs share to a new proxmox node and hitting some snags. 1. a share that isn't set to browseable can't be added? i have a share called proxmox-content that i use already with another proxmox host, just to hold ISOs and VZ templates. i dont' like it to...

    Procedure to import vmware OVA to Proxmox 5.0-23 with ZFS VM store

    Hey all, sorry for the super specific title but I thought it would be worthwhile to put together a handful of commands I got from various places on the forum to do this specific thing that I think may be fairly common: importing a vmware OVA to Proxmox 5. There are heaps of guides out there on...

    Failed to import pool 'rpool'. on first boot Proxmox 5.0 zfs install

    Hey crew, Struggling to get Proxmox 5.0 on one of my test bed hosts. I had a 4.4 install on this humming along but then fubar'ed it by playing too casually with trying to cluster with a machine in another country. Wups. On boot it shows some typical boot messages I was getting on 4.4 (scsi...
