    Proxmox Devs: Please could you modernize the arcane forced default USB controllers logic??

    In case anyone else wants to get rid of these pesky emulated USB controllers, just remove the relevant [device] sections from the file: /usr/share/qemu-server/pve-q35-4.0.cfg Not ideal to have to hack around the code, but on MOST all vm guests I simply have no need for these controllers...

    Custom Machine Types

    I too would love to have that entry removed or at least configurable. From what I can tell, this old hardcoded config file based Q35 setup is a nightmare because it also ties into live migration. Personally I believe it needs redesigning/refactoring to allow end user configurability within the...

    Proxmox Devs: Please could you modernize the arcane forced default USB controllers logic??

    This has been requested on a few occasions over the years, but to this day, Proxmox still forces these USB controllers into VMs. Ovirt and other QEMU/KVM environments don't do it, but Proxmox likes to keep these legacy things hardcoded still in there, really annoying. I checked the code and it...

    PVE9 in-place upgrade failed due to mellanox/nvidia networking

    It's one of the things I try my best to avoid on a Proxmox host, installing 3rd party software/driver packages that have a large number of very specific dependencies, can screw up a hell of a lot of things come upgrade time, ie. nailbiting cleaning up and all kinds of dependency oxymoronic...

    Windows, GPU passthrough, and Code 43 Help needed!

    Which version Windows are you using? If passthrough works with a linux guest, but not with windows, then windows is the problem, to be honest, windows is nearly always the problem lol Make sure VBS is off and the hypervisor in windows is off too, sometimes these things get enabled and can...

    Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.0 released!

    Successfully upgraded 14 physical hosts and 5 virtual hosts. :D One particular host had some custom built drivers for 5G modem and a custom firmware networking smart card, but after recompiling drivers for new kernel, all done. Impressed with you guys, Proxmox upgrades sure have come a long...

    [Feature Request] Proxmox 9.0 - iothread-vq-mapping

    I would raise a point, has there been any investigations into the impact such a configuration would have on other guests running on the same host?, one of the biggest problems with virtualisation is the management of threads in order to mitigate latency issues, the more IO threads, the more...

    nvme IOPS 4k performance - same disk with diffrent Host = diffrent results.

    Yes, obviously correct, however... You didn't read his post correctly. There is no issue baremetal, IOPs are fine on both cpus... the issue he is noticing is the IOPs performance inside VMs. Many of us have spent crazy hours to days to weeks tweaking things in the past across numerous builds...

    Hardware buying advice needed

    If noise is an issue, and you have no plans to upgrade, as in just shove a single M.2 and a sata drive, and are happy with 1G or even 2.5G via usb3 for networking, then the HP pro/elitedesk 8th gen micros will work just fine. Set you back about a hundred odd euros/pounds each, and you can...

    Opt-in Linux 6.14 Kernel for Proxmox VE 8 available on test & no-subscription

    6.14.5 working fine here on 8th gen Intels, 13th gen raptor lake and an AMD 5950x. On 13th gen and 5950x, both working fine with x2apic and apicv for intel and avic for amd. sr-iov working great, rdma is fine, intel-igpu and nvidia-gpu and broadcom raid cards passthrough all working sweet...

    Hardware buying advice needed

    Stay away from Minisforum, biggest pile of hype out there. From the sound of things you are in the UK so energy costs is a factor indeed especially considering the UK is continuously raising its rates like over here in Europe. Also it doesn't sound like you are after a number-crunching machine...

    nvme IOPS 4k performance - same disk with diffrent Host = diffrent results.

    This comes down to how the hypervisor and guests establish paravirtualization links via KVM/HV enlightenments. Unfortunately, Qemu/KVM and even Proxmox as a UI (though it is getting better, just too many configurations to stay on top of so understandably a dilemma) - they are all a bit of a...

    Your wish list for Proxmox

    You sir, get my point 100%. I love Proxmox, it is a core platform in my lab which I rely upon to keep my technical skills up-to-date, where else are you going to recompile the kernel on the fly to try out the latest and greatest technologies.... Hyper-V and VMware don't provide that level of...

    Totally missing the 'point'. Ah well, thank you for your time. Have a good day sir.

    Your wish list for Proxmox

    I would like to add, that in my professional consultancy career, I have over the past decade on numerous instances attempted to offer Proxmox as a platform solution, not once have I been successful. The issues always revolved around presumptions driven by how it looked... There is a natural...

    Your wish list for Proxmox

    The 'windows 8' argument didnt turn Microsoft away, we're now at Windows 11 and it is evolving to the day (much to the hate of old-techies), the argument is not relevant... this is about the future, the gen-z and beyond... Regarding Incus, it was not about features, it is about attraction to...

    Your wish list for Proxmox

    Been with Proxmox for years, been great for lab non-commercial use as a platform to simplify vm/container management with mouse clicks. But I've over the years come to realise that it seems to lack in a few areas, and I know that making any feature requests tends to just dissapear into the void...

    Proxmox VE 8.3 released!

    @t.lamprecht - great release guys!!! Looking forward to playing with the SDN enhancements. Was a little dismayed though, still no MACVTAP support :( Hope we can get this in soon, been on and off requested for a few years now, I even filed a friendly request...

    Is this possible?

    Proxmox team, please can you add macvtap to the networking options for guests? it has been asked for across the years numerous times, but it has resulted in total silence. It can't even be implemented by manually tweaking the guest config file via the args.... really really unfortunate. It is...
