    Decrement of the extra drive of a VM

    Thank you for the answer. You noticed the part that the disk I want to shrink isnt the one where the OS resides, I need the extra disk to be shrined. If I resize it, there will be at the end just unpartitioned or unallocated space which afterwards needs to be removed/deleted in order for proxmox...

    Decrement of the extra drive of a VM

    After having seen some similar yet not identical articles and having read this https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Resize_disks, still don't think any of what I 've read is applicable to my case. Introduction to how the system is build 4x1.2Tb drives in raid 10 (zfs) for VMs (no problems there) 4x4tb...

    GUI disks tab cant showup smart values

    I happen to notice it yesterday (all the other days before it was working). None of the Hdds shows their smart values. Instead it opens up the smart window and stays there loading forever. Any insight? PS From shell smartctl --all /dev/sd...... will fetch results but that is not the point. By...

    VM disk properites inside Windows

    Hello i wanted to check the default allocation unit size of c (an raid 10 array created from 512b logical and physical sector disks and ashift = 9) and d (an raid 10 array created from 512b logical 4096b physical sector disks adn ashit =12) so I run (inside windows in cli) command fsutil...

    Setting up vmbrs for Vms frustration issue

    I think I found something here and also something most with similar problems omit to include in their info. After changing the bond type from balance-rr to balance-alb, VM starting with internet access at last and following syslog pve pvedaemon[9624]: start VM 101...

    Proxmox VE 6.2-4 | port entered blocking state

    Hi @mysteur I am dealing with a similar problem https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/setting-up-vmbrs-for-vms-frustration-issue.88839/#post-389046 Did you find a solution with that vmbr0 block issue. How did you setup vmbrs? Have you set Ips in each one inside their options window or left it...

    Setting up vmbrs for Vms frustration issue

    Still trying to figure out why this is happening ....................... At some point by disabling inside the VM the network adapter and bringing it back again seemed to do the trick (even though it isnt supposed to work this way) but for a short period of time. After a while not only vmbr1...

    Setting up vmbrs for Vms frustration issue

    Until the separate bridge part you are correct but why different subnet? Same subnet and the VM need to has net access. After this part several other Vms will be created on the other vmbr bridge still same subnet and all have net access as well. The ability to communicate each other I thinnk by...

    Setting up vmbrs for Vms frustration issue

    Hello I am trying since yesterday the simple thing of creating an extra vmbr bridge and attach it to a Vm but whatever I try doesnt seem to work. A little back info first. My motherboard has a dual nic and I have modified the default vmbr0 to be based not on the port enp1 but the bond0 who...

    Looking for setting a new PVE instance correctly

    Do you happen know the algorithm that correlates the ashift number with the block size? or is there a constant that dictates use 9 for 512bytes and 12 for 4k drives (which by the way are the most familiar numbers for hdds, probably netapp drives have a weird value also). New Edit probably got...

    Feature Request : Creating & Managing datasets

    After this, its obvious that I somehow mixed rules for pools and inherit them to datasets by myself Whoa a lot of great info here. I ll stand only to the point -Vdev: so in GUI doesnt give you the ability to mess with vdevs but after initializing disks and making a raidz type level, the...

    exactly thats why I asked if there was an attribute to set that kind of limitation also. I am not in any way, offensive to my follow up answer (I mention it thought because it is just the way is going to be read and have no other way to express it otherwise with my eng) but where exactly did I...

    Feature Request : Creating & Managing datasets

    That was my first moment misconception. Kinda thought that HH is zvol while it isnt. Its the uplevel parent. All other about mount points are a bit more clear now except the fact that zfs creates the intermediate paths like if I had a custom mountpoint to /mnt/bckup it would create that...

    Last effort since I got tired and I don t wont to bother you with this again. The part with the abbreviation was straigth forward so ok with that. Nice My logic dictates (...and not ZFS's rules, that is what I am trying to figure out after all): When you create a storage/space (in your case...

    I didnt say anything about unused space, It s the same question again like the dataset/children can use more space than the initial who has been created? I got this part but then again how come the metadata cone exceed the initial given space. Doesnt make sense Burnt again.... and the...
