Hi Aaron, thanks for the info. I do not use HA and don't plan to. I mainly use the cluster because it allows me to move VMs around, and administer both nodes in one place. Also, at the moment I don't have a separate connection for corosync. My servers do both have only 2 ethernet NICs.

Hello, I have a NAS where I configured LACP to increase its network bandwidth. My switch supports LACP and it does work fine. However the NAS shall also be accessed from a couple Proxmox VMs. To increase the bandwidth for Proxmox as well, I would like to use LACP here, too. However I am unsure...

A friend added two users on my Proxmox installation, so both of us could log in with their own credentials. However he does not use his account any more so I deleted his account in the shell via "userdel". I did not know that the user management was possible via the web GUI! So the user...

that did the trick. Cool, thanks!

dear oguz, MANY thanks for your hint! Today, I tried it and it works! I did it as follows: in the "storage" view, one can show the configuration of a VM which was used when it was backed up. So I made a fresh installation of Proxmox, then I created a new VM and renamed the ZFS subvolumes...

Dear colleagues OK I've got a PVE node in my cluster whose system disk crashed. So the Proxmox installation with all its settings on this particular node is lost. However I believe that the ZFS pool on the other disk should still be alive, and I do have full backups of all my VMs. Two...

I have a physical PC with a mdadm RAID that I would like to migrate to proxmox. There are two disks of 80GB each in RAID1 configuration. I first tried to clone them via Clonezilla, but that didnt work. So how should I copy my physical disks into proxmox such that I can virtualise this physical...

Hi oguz, thanks a lot! Hmm I will test that and let you know if it works. Yesterday it seemed a bit odd to me that each file got its x bit set.

One additional thing: I just realised that every file created within this mount point has the 'x' bit set. Why is this and how can I avoid it? (inside the container) # ls -al total 16 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 18 16:36 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 25 Feb 18 16:41 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root...

Hi oguz, yes I saw that. Indeed the uid/gid needs to be set correctly. However I am unsure how I shall do that when I mount the Samba/CIFS share? so far I tested it as follows: (on the PVE host) mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=test123,gid=100000,uid=100000 //server/share /srv/share...

Hi, I have a container in which I would like to run a webserver (for Nextcloud). The data storage of this web server shall be on a NAS, which is mounted via Samba. I first thought that I can mount the Samba share on the host and then "redirect" it to the container via a bind mount, but the...

Hi guys, sorry for my late reply. I tried qm unlock and it didn't help. However, I didn't reboot the server since approx. 180 days, and because I have a cron job which does regular updates, the system was updated but still running an "older" kernel. For some reason this resulted in different...

Hi guys, I have a Windows VM where I had one old snapshot. Today, I wanted to migrate the VM to another PVE node, and this gave me the following error: Cannot migrate VM with local CD/DVD. The reason was that the VM had a DVD drive while I made the snapshot, but now I removed the DVD drive...

thanks. I restarted pvestatd service and now the pve2 node looks good. I don't know what caused pvestatd to hang or crash, but it was for sure not the storage because the storage works just fine. However, restarting the pvestatd service solved the problem and now everything looks good again.

Since a few days, my 2nd PVE node cannot display its status, and I cannot access the VMs (shell) from the web gui. Everything seems to work fine, though. What could be the reason for this kind of problem? Note that on both nodes, I run the latest Proxmox for which I used the update procedure as...

Hi guys, I wanted to make snapshots of one of my VMs. However, even though my zpool has still enough space left (so I thought), I cannot do any snapshots. Proxmox aborts with the error "cannot snapshot: out of space". I know that other users had similar issues, however I don't understand it in...

Hmm, it appears that it worked just fine for a few days and the problem now appears again?! Same error message, "timeout waiting on systemd".

Hi Stefan, I do have my two nodes in a cluster, but pve2 uses different hardware than pve1, and I wanted to verify whether it is possible to restore the LXC container on a different hardware without issues. (The answer is: yes, it works. After the above "hack" with --rootfs, I was able to...

Hi, I have two nodes, pve1 and pve2, in a cluster. I created a LXC container on pve1, which uses a ZFS subvolume of size 2G. I successfuly made a backup of this container on a network share and I also checked whether that backup can be restored successfully, which works fine on pve1. However, on...

I also had the same issue. Besides that, it was not possible to open the "Console" view in the browser. It appears that using options vhost_net experimental_zcopytx=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/vhost-net.conf and update-initramfs -u fixed the problem.
