    Proxmox UI used to warn if thin disk space was over commissioned but can't find the setting anymore

    Good day, At some stage whilst using Proxmox, it used to warn me. It would say something like "You're using thin provisioning but the total disk space you've allocated is more than you actually have.". At some stage, probably through naivety or being rushed, I clicked something like "Do not...

    [SOLVED] Resize disk of ubuntu 19.10 vm on proxmox...

    @Jorrak my gut feeling is you're working with commands aimed at enlarging a raw EXT4 partition but from your output you don't have a raw EXT4 partition, but rather a logical volume group: Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv To be super complete I wouldn't have minded to see the results of...

    qmeventd shutdown VM

    Hi @Thatoo I don't think your problem is similar to what is discussed here in this particular post. What is discussed here is this log line: > vm: terminating on signal 15 from pid 1086 (/usr/sbin/qmeventd) What you mention on the forum post you provided is this log line: > KVM: entry...

    qmeventd shutdown VM

    Thanks guys, I just did an audit. Ballooning is on all the VMs, but I just noticed out of 14x VMs, 1x VM doesn't have the guest agent installed. I believe ballooning also needs the guest agent to be effective? Interesting also with regards to OOM, before the host with the most RAM, 16GB, gave...

    qmeventd shutdown VM

    Cool thank you so much for the reply. I interpret what you're saying is the shutdown could be caused by many different things and additional issue isolation must take place before the cause will be known.

    qmeventd shutdown VM

    This has randomly happened to me now but only on one VM out of 20 others. The crashes happened twice around one month spread apart. The 20 VMs are in a cluster with two hosts. The host that randomly crashes is a Windows 2019 Server. Compared to the other hosts it has relatively high RAM (say 8...

    Linux Cloud Images Freeze with Default SCSI Controller

    I have exactly the same experience but on a slightly different setup. I'm using the Modules Garden's WHMCS module, but I'm not sure it's the module's fault. Here is my setup: - HV1 has own Cloud-Init for Ubuntu- - Hv7 has own Cloud-Init for Ubuntu HV1 + HV7 are part of a cluster. There is no...

    Please help identify OOM kernel crash - Host RAM, Host swap, VM RAM, or VM Swap?

    > the host is running out of memory.. Do you mean RAM Are these then proposed solutions? 1. Reduce some of the VM's guest RAM usage. 2. Add more RAM to the host? I'm just a bit unsure what you mean by memory, as I see the host also needs some swap space: "KSM Sharing" Swap usage.

    Please help identify OOM kernel crash - Host RAM, Host swap, VM RAM, or VM Swap?

    Hi there, Please help me identify the problem with our Proxmox is killing just one specific VM with OOM. Background: - The host has 16 CPUs, and 64 GB of RAM. - We have 15 guests on the host. - The VM that is being shut down uses the most resources, 7 CPUs and 16 GB RAM. - The problem only...

    Import disk to temporary location non root - similar question to "Where are VMs stored?"

    We have four disks: local, local-lvm, raid1, raid0 I need to import a large file to raid1. The idea is create new directory, e.g. /root/vm.import.temp, and get the job done. Problem is /root volume is too small but there is a lot of space on the other volumes. I can't figure out if it's...

    Noob question: How many guests for 16 cores?

    Ok cool thanks @dylanw , I am deducing that one should never oversell CPUs then. > You should consult the system requirements pages for any operating systems/software you are using Some of the workloads are determined by clients to which servers I don't have access so I will have to make the...

    Add new ip set to proxmox and use in VM

    EDIT: After typing this entire post, and reading many more similar posts, something stood out. The fact that one can't have two default gateways on a server stood out. So what I did was assign the new IP address, including the default gateway, to the guest VM. I did nothing on the host. And it...
