    attach guest machine to passed-trough NIC

    I am setting up a new proxmox node on a machine with a 4 port NIC, that I am planning to use (among others) as a router with OPNsense. On my previous setups i have used vmbr bridges without passtrough. Now I have decided i will try to passtrough 3 of the NICs to OPNsense (keeping one for PVE...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox <local> disk space

    another thing that can take up a lot of space on older installation is old linux kernels. for some reason apt-autoremove does not take care of them and they have to be manually uninstalled. i gained 3 gigs of free space just by doing dpkg --list | grep pve-kernel and apt purge pve-kernel-5.15.3*

    shrink lvm volume group

    I need to move my pve system disk containing the lvm-thin folder to a smaller drive. the volume group has sufficient unallocated space, however i need to shrink the actual partition, so that clonezilla is able to process the move. this is how my volume group looks like. i need to save up...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox <local> disk space

    and we have the culprit. it's an external drive used for redundant backups of selected VMs that apparently got unmounted a few months ago and instead of throwing an error pve kept backuping to local... the question remaining is where are these phantom backups on local and how to get rid of them...?

    [SOLVED] Proxmox <local> disk space

    I have noticed the free space on my local partition is decreasing significantly, while in theory there should be basically nothing on this partition except the proxmox system and a few iso images or lxc templates. i was trying to check with ncdu what's on the disk, but it shows only 8,4 GB is...

    LXC containers refuse to start

    so restarting my host solved the problem for a while, but now it it back: for some reason the lxcfs.service keeps stopping restarting it makes containers working again, but something seems to be wrong # systemctl status lxcfs.service ● lxcfs.service - FUSE filesystem for LXC Loaded: loaded...

    [SOLVED] Huge I/O delays on backup/restore jobs

    [SOLVED] in the end the issue was unrelated to proxmox or the disk drives. it seems for some reason my HP Microserver Gen8 has very slow disk speeds when the controller is in AHCI mode. Enabling RAID mode increased disk I/O significantly. I don't now why is this happening, as the performance of...

    [SOLVED] Huge I/O delays on backup/restore jobs

    i was suspecting this is a disk issue, but appartently not. i did the following: - replaced my system SSD with an old 120 G ssd that is near death actually (150 TBW). reinstalled pve on it, tried to restore the backup of one VM, went flawlessly with 200 MB/s - i have tested the original SSD in a...

    [SOLVED] Huge I/O delays on backup/restore jobs

    or maybe it's an LVM corruption, as I did not face any issue with proxmox itself. i also have some 20 GB LXC containers on the local volume that are unaffected. HDparm read and dd write tests seem to be OK. yesterday two of my VMs failed - unbootable disks. I was not able to recover any data...

    [SOLVED] Huge I/O delays on backup/restore jobs

    I am running PVE with the config a single SSD contains the PVE root and lvm volumes for VMs. One VM is running OpenMediaVault and all the HDDs are passed trough to this VM. OMV is then providing NFS shares to other VMs as well as Proxmox itself for VM backups. Now my issue is, that everytime I...
