Maybe I should log one then :). To date I have been using these forums to post the issue - guess that is the wrong location. Overall - lvm is stable. However... I have 17 servers all different specs. 6 of them crash. The rest don't. I am certain that this is related to disk io / driver...

I would be happy with that too - my concern is the problem creeping in again. If you search the net - you will find that this has been an ongoing issue in the redhat kernel for a very long time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It works with ext3/4 xfs etc... Most Linux file systems :) Try it! It is rather good :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! You dont need to? hcp simply uses empty space on the disk to store the files. You are in effect creating a snapshot - and copying the data off it. The aim being to have a filesystem that is not being modified while...

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Hi Tom, I said it was 'free'. (note the quotes) It is not opensource/gpl - but you get a free licence. I personally would prefer to use lvm - as this is all provided by the OS; but the fact is that LVM is not...

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Hello, Pretty much! vzdump pretty much does exactly that! Rob

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Yes. Essentially that! The only issue is you also need to grab the config files from /etc/vz/conf and /etc/qemu-server to match the machine id. I have had a look at the vzdump script & code. It really should not be...

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! There is really not much to share. Bacula is a client server backup system; install of it is a matter of getting a central backup server; and then installing an agent on each machine. There is tons of documentation...

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! I have not yet written a replacement for vzdumps to do this. My original request you will see is to suggest this is added as an option :-) I will be doing something to get this working soon! Rob

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Do you know how to use bacula? It is a bit of a beast!

Re: Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! I have used the latest version of HCP not problem. My backups simply use bacula.. then a before and after script to run an hcp snapshot /remove on the /var/lib/vz volume. No hangs.. lockups.. just works. IMHO - LVM...

Is that log not saying that it already exists - and that all you need to do is configure the ethernet in your guest os?

I have always used this script: http://www.montanalinux.org/physical-to-virtual.html Works beutifully :-)

Why not use 'bridge mode'? Then configure the IP in the OS standard way using eth0? rob

Re: Need to reinstall grub - how to boot Proxmox bare metal install CD into rescue mo You should in theory be able to use the rescue mode from a debian squeeze system? Once in at the CLI... chroot to the correct root filesystem.. run update-grub Never tried it.. but thats what I would start...

Proxmox Backups - An option to not use LVM Snapshots - but HCP Instead! Hello, Will it be possible to get an extention added in to the backup system. (vzdumps) Essentially.. rather than running an LVM snapshot..... run and HCP snapshot? The HCP snapshot system 'is' free software but not...

Well... 24 hours on and LVM snapshot removal fails again! It seems that a lvm snapshot can be removed easily if you create & remove it... but leave it running for a long time (e.g. my backups) and it crashes! Looking round the net - this is a kernel/udev issue. Anyone got any magic fixes? Rob

I would set the guest to use a bridge mode ethernet - and then config the ip within the guest manually.
