    IO-Error after life migration

    Hmm, or it does break as well? I have to do some more tests.

    IO-Error after life migration

    I see these problems (IO errors) as well with guests having 2 GB RAM. Works fine for smaller guests. Which brings us to a question: why is savevm/loadvm used for migration? Live migration is way better/faster (almost no guest downtime). It also doesn't break big guests like above (at least...

    unable to create fairsched node - still in use

    I see the virtual machine is still running, but Proxmox VE interface doesn't show it. Perhaps a side effect of my tests with guest migration with iSCSI storage.

    unable to create fairsched node - still in use

    I'm trying to start yet another guest, but it fails with: "unable to create fairsched node - still in use" What does it mean?

    Stability issues with KVM-83 is rollback to 75 available?

    I'm running kvm-84 for a little bit over a week now. It runs stable for me with 9 Linux guests with: - different kernels - virtio drivers - scsi + e1000 - IO/CPU loaded to a different degree It fixes one severe issue I had with kvm-83: after running for a couple of days, network in my some of...

    copying real Hard disk image to make KVM?

    It's not necessary to convert it to qemu image file to be able to access it. Although it might save some space - leave the original untouched, make copies converted to qcow2.

    how to make "pipe" sign: | work in VNC console? (or, other keys with right-alt)

    Ugh, I'm stupid. I compiled kvm-84 but some VNC patches from Proxmox VE didn't apply cleanly. And even when applied manually, the thing didn't compile. As I though "VNC patches - why bother?" - I compiled kvm-84 without your VNC patches. Sorry for wasting your time. So, it's the 4th day I...

    how to make "pipe" sign: | work in VNC console? (or, other keys with right-alt)

    I wonder why it doesn't work for me. I see some "AltGr VNC" hits in google, but I found no definite solution which could be applied here.

    how to make "pipe" sign: | work in VNC console? (or, other keys with right-alt)

    If I open VNC's Clipboard, I can write signs like @ or |. So it is passed to the Java viewer correctly, but somehow doesn't get through to the guest. Hmm.

    how to make "pipe" sign: | work in VNC console? (or, other keys with right-alt)

    - I have German keyboard layout in options on host - guest OSes - different Linux (i.e. Debian Lenny) - guest OSes have German keyboard I tried loading different German keymaps on guests, but it didn't help - right alt (AltGr) is not passed to the guest via VNC console: # loadkeys de #...

    how to make "pipe" sign: | work in VNC console? (or, other keys with right-alt)

    Is there a way to make "pipe" (|) sign work in the VNC console? I have a German keyboard; pipe (|) sign shows up in all programs when I press "right alt + <". Unfortunately, only "<" shows up in the VNC console. Similarly, "@" sign. It shows up when I press "right alt+q"; on VNC console...

    These are the "real" locations of LVM volumes.

    PVE and Software Raid

    Do you have a separate /boot partition? lilo and grub can't boot a system from raid-5. Did you generate a new initramfs for the new kernel (update-initramfs or mkinitrd)?

    Crashes

    Certainly, crashes should not happen. Automatic restart if machine crashes? Could be tricky to distinguish between a normal crash and a regular machine "stop/shutdown" (are pidfiles removed when it crashes for you?). If you're unable to debug these crashes, you can always automatically...

    Second User for Proxmox (not root)

    Yes, it would be great if per-user VM configuration was possible - i.e.: - root can view/create/stop everything, as now - other users can view and stop only VMs assigned to them and make some, but not all configuration changes (i.e. they should not be able to add/change disks, MAC addresses...

    Stability issues with KVM-83 is rollback to 75 available?

    Or, it means that KVM is getting more and more popular, and just more user reports come to the surface ;) Anyway, I'll try to modify and apply your patches to KVM-84 and see if it works stable for me or not.

    IO-Error after life migration

    It may be a good guess. I think SCSI timeout is 2 minutes by default, settable in /sys. To OP: 1) how long does the migration take? 2) could you log in _before_ migration o VNC console, do "dmesg -c". After migration, see what "dmesg" shows again. You may also configure a serial connection if...

    Assign KVM VM a complete disk

    "Show advanced options" switch somewhere in the interface would make both worlds happy: it would still hide anything potentially dangerous, but would make more experienced sysadmins happy.
