    ProxMox 4.x is killing my SSDs

    As for reference, the SSD with proxmox on it (at home) : - used for proxmox installation root - used for VMs (for the moment 2 VMs with very low activity) I didn't went to the manufacturer spec for SMART values, but everything seems to be OK : root@ruche:~# smartctl -x /dev/sda smartctl 6.4...

    ProxMox 4.x is killing my SSDs

    Interesting thread ! My two cents : - write amplification is on rotational disks and RAID arrays too (to my knowledge, the job is always : Read/Modify/Write) - buffered logs and noatime/nodiratime can help, but I don't know if Proxmox daemons will be pleased with that - an other improvment : use...

    Moving VM's between Proxmox VE 3.x and 4.x cluster

    Advised method is backup on old PVE / restore on new PVE. It implies more downtime but you are sure to get a good migration. You don't ever know if the VM config files have new defaults settings or format change...

    Proxmox Setup with FaultTolerance for Zero Downtime

    PVE does not provides 0 downtime. When High Availability occurs, the VMS are restarted on an other node. If you want IPSEC High Availability, look otherwhere (ex : double IPSEC link + BGP ?).

    NIC Entered Disabled State

    did you tryed "echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/net/vmbr0/bridge/multicast_snooping" ? do you use multi queue on device ? is there a debug mode in the ethernet card module ?

    NIC Entered Disabled State

    Try disabling snooping. And maybe try virtio network for the VMs ?

    Limiting size of qcow2 image

    I read some things about discard : this can lead to performance decreases on disk. It is advised to do the discard job in a crontab. Regarding the bug, I really don't know. Your question is legitimate but I can't help you. Maybe create a new thread, this can be usefull for other members in the...

    random Read only filesystem

    I have no idea. I saw that on goole "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359706". Don't you have any oom kills ? Maybe look at ext4 corruption bugs ?

    migration and ntp

    Normaly its makes no sense to run an ntpd inside an VM. Use the correct time at the host and all the VMs have the right time.

    I didn't put my hands on an HP server since more than 10 years, but the menu you get is not for the motherboard presets ? If so, try Red Hat.

    qcow2 file on guest suddenly gone

    I don't know you storage backend and your infrastructure. But I think this anaware deletion can occur when you have 2 proxmox nodes, not in cluster and using the same mount point for VM disks. If you define 1 VM on the 2 nodes with the same VMID, deleting the VM on one node will delete it on the...

    Limiting size of qcow2 image

    Is there any snapshots in you qcow2 image ? The size increase ca come from this. An other reason could be the data fragmentation when using "thin provisioning" in qcow2 but, it is less likely to be that.
