    Upgrade from 3.x to 4.0 >>> Saving/Restoring for the upgrade

    Do you not have backups already? Anyway, My motto is always give yourself a way out. We cannot tell you where to put the backup, because we do not know what you have. If you have another linux machine, just rsync it. Or a usb drive. 1. Backup to a usb drive 2. Shutdown the vms and do...

    I can answer the first question, use gdisk instead of fdisk for a gpt partition. Now, quit hijacking my thread. haha

    Slow performance with ZFS?

    Does he not need two small ssd drives? The day the ssd goes bad, and he reboot's the machine, will he not have a very bad day?

    For a small budget. This is for a single host. I've been greatly disappointed in ZFS raid 10, the FSYNCS/SECOND doesn't get it. at all! Proxmox existing vm with mdadm raid 1 = 999 beats the crap out of it. (Tested while guest were running, one of them a mail server) old perc5 raid card=...

    proxmox 4 plan for drive failure zfs raid 10

    Simple Backup Method to USB drive

    The new 4.0 beta no longers seems to work with usbmount, through no fault of it's own. The package is no longer maintained. So I reverted to mounting by drive label. mount -L backup_drive /mnt/backup_drive

    networking painfully slow after upgrade to 3.4

    One more time for the sake of completeness. One of the vm's was still slower than all getout. Windows 2012R2. I removed the virtio driver and went with the e1000. Fixed, done. The world is a better place now.. :) Have no idea what was up with that or why the upgrade affected it.

    networking painfully slow after upgrade to 3.4

    Thanks mir, For completeness, here's what I did. I had to blacklist the original drivers. apt-get install pve-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms ethtool wget wget http://ftp.datanom.net/pve/r8168-dkms_8.037.00_all.deb dpkg -i r8168-dkms_8.037.00_all.deb echo "blacklist r8169" | tee -a...

    networking painfully slow after upgrade to 3.4

    I'd like to get these and if you could possible point me to a howto for the dkms? The upgrade has killed the network to the point of un-usability.

    fileserver storage format suggestion

    On a file server I plan to move to proxmox, I've a question about the file server storage format. I plan to put the operating system on qcow2 However, the 300 gig disk for the files (will be on the same server), I was wondering if that shouldn't be raw format? Sound about right? A 300 gig...

    Simple Backup Method to USB drive

    This sounds good. Of course they need to know the backup was successful, so I guess I might point the email to them. (Though I'd like to get a copy) Then just have them swap the drives after they get the email which would mean the backup had finished...

    Simple Backup Method to USB drive

    Having used proxmox for our own needs, I'm thinking to use it for some small clients. I need some ideas for simple (very simple) instructions to check the backup and swap usb drives: Have you guys got a method you tell a secretary or whomever to change backup drives?
