    Tape Drive firmware (hacking)

    While using ITDT, oh yes, I understand "best effort". In pbs, works for about 90% of moving, some format / barcode. But then I guess after that it gets confused. Drive is listed, just fails. Currently system is stock debian, just wanted to make sure there nothing else that might affect it...

    Tape Drive firmware (hacking)

    Guess I am missing the secret ingredient, " scsi 2:0:0:0: TLR Disabled" In my case, trying to get more use out of some old hardware , "scsi 2:0:0:0: Sequential-Access IBM ULTRIUM-TD4 C7QH PQ: 0 ANSI: 3" Reading IBM drives are suppose to support TLR, not sure how far back, but this...

    high i/o delay in dashboard

    I sure this is not a PBS problem, but just asking my peers.. I have really high i/o delay in my pbs dashboard. I have determined its the disk I have attached via iscsi. Its (the iscsi stuff) low end and not the best setup, and I have accepted that. But is it possible to make the i/o delay...

    Display output is not active (Chrome OS Flex)

    I too have noticed this, hence the search. Seem to affect both my win and linux VMs. Have to kill the VM and restart. Still searching, fingers crossed.. In one of my cases (Ubuntu server 20.04.4) its listed as; 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Red Hat, Inc. Virtio GPU (rev 01)

    windows 2000/2003 on PVE7.x

    Thanks, was kind of the same logic I was thinking. Thanks for your response. Was hoping that since they are already running under 6.x my chances were better than average. But as we all know, that might not mean much !

    windows 2000/2003 on PVE7.x

    Well I updated my personel proxmox to 7.1 with no real issues yet. But all my guests are linux I have a 4 node system here that I manage, but I still have a few 2003 servers and one 2000. I skimmed over a few posts , one that sticks out is lack of newer virto nic drivers on newer releases...

    I have the same situation with OmniOs as the underlying samba platform, working with a debian 11 cifs mount. Anyone come across a work around yet? None of the above seem to work.

    interferance between tape backup and VM

    hate to answer this with a "I don't know" I have my prune set every 30 mins, maybe it was there at the beginning of the backup but later was purged during the backup Garbage collection 1x a week. Or, I have seen failed snapshots appear, and I later cleared. Maybe these? I have a feeling...

    decode data encryption caps page failed - not external data encryption control capable

    Gonna guess the library has the whole encryption wrapped up with its "key" for encryption and prevents the drive I have look in various places and have not found any firmware to make this work. I don't use any keys within pbs, but guess we still check? root@pbs172:~/ITDT# stenc -f...

    decode data encryption caps page failed - not external data encryption control capable

    Hope I get the right info, as far as firmware, I think its the latest from the dell site that had LTO4 included with the library update firmware. Not sure how comfortable I might feel trying to shoehorn another firmware into it, even tho it is IBM I'll look around again, I was ok till this...
