    How to create my folder for ISO & Backup

    OK thanks. I was hoping to use LVM and still use the GUI. But I didn't understand: first I have to prepare the disk with fdisk and only then from the GUI identify it as Directory? === Update I tried to create the Directory with ext4 and it gave me this error: command '/sbin/sgdisk -n1 -t1:8300...

    How to create my folder for ISO & Backup

    I apologize, but I am now starting to work with Proxmox and even the Administration Guide does not help me. In addition to the RAID10 disks I have an additional 700GB disk. I would like to create a backup folder here, a folder for the ISO and another for my tools. But I don't find anything in...

    Some advice for LVM cache

    I'm confused. I was reading forum posts about FreeNAS using ZFS and where pool caching was recommended. In Debian I already use an LVM Group created on 4 disks in RAID5 and the cache on an SSD. Furthermore, about SSD mirroring, it was not recommended to me because if the motherboard is not...

    Disk boot backup

    There is a small server in a remote office where I am never there and there is no technician to assist me. Proxmox boot is on an 120GB SSD and I cannot manage mirroring of this disk.

    I have already opened other specific posts for the different problems, some still unanswered. Summing up. Proxmox installation stops and I was recommended to install Debian. I followed the guide for Debian 10 step by step. (Side note: it is not precise. For example, with the basic installation...

    As a percentage, how much work needs to be done in Debian?

    I am completely blocked. Is a server that is wearing its years (HP Proliant ML150G2) but until last week there was installed Ubuntu Server with VirtualBox. I had expected that being new to Proxmox I would have paid for some experience, but not to the point of having to do the installations...

    Error with update

    I read the Wiki, including the two pages reported. As I wrote above, what I didn't understand is if without a subscription I don't have any updates, not even those from Debian. If I can download the updates, then I didn't understand this error either TASK ERROR: command 'apt-get update' failed...

    Single disk error and I cannot create disk with RAID

    I am creating a Proxmox server for the first time. The server has six 160GB disks. Two disks are on an Adaptec controller, but already at Debian installation they are seen only as separate disks and not mirrored. So, Proxmox was installed on one disk (sdb) and the other (sdc) was not used. The...

    From the Web Console, when I launch the update this appears, with errors. I have just installed Proxmox, I am still configuring it and I have not made any subscriptions.
